    Sanju Samson’s 87* Powers Chennai Super Kings to Dominant Win Over Delhi Capitals in IPL 2026

    By IANS News May 06, 2026 • 06:54 AM View: 253

    A crowd of 32,160 turned up for the Delhi Capitals‑Chennai Super Kings clash in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, but the Arun Jaitley Stadium felt like a fortress painted yellow. The chants of “CSK, CSK” rolled across the stands as Sanju Samson delivered a knock worthy of that backdrop - a commanding 87 not out off 52 balls, blending timing and power impressively to steer CSK to a big eight‑wicket win with 15 balls to spare.

    The victory keeps the five‑time champions in sixth place, but crucially just two points adrift of the crowded playoff zone. On a sticky pitch offering grip and turn, Akeal Hosein (1‑19) and Noor Ahmad (2‑22) set the tone to restrict DC to 155/7. Samson then unfurled strokes of authority by hitting seven fours and six maximums to take CSK home.
