    Chennai Super Kings captain Ruturaj Gaikwad said the team’s revival in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 has been built on the quiet efficiency of its bowlers, while describing wicketkeeper- batter Sanju Samson as the ‘backbone’ of the batting unit after his match‑winning unbeaten 87 against Delhi Capitals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi on Tuesday.

    Samson’s knock ensured that CSK chased down 156 with 15 balls remaining and are at ten points, which is just two points away from the crowded top five in the points table. “I think even initially, after the 2nd and 3rd game, Flem and myself were positive, we were closer to what we were last year.
