    'Samson Is Batting At His Peak: Irfan Pathan

    By IANS News May 06, 2026 • 16:28 PM View: 120
    Chennai Super Kings: Former Indian cricketer Irfan Pathan believes that opener Sanju Samson is in his prime form, and his game awareness made a big difference in Chennai Super Kings' (CSK) dominant eight-wicket win against Delhi Capitals (DC) at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.

    Samson had a below par show in the first three IPL 2026 games, but he turned things around from the next match and is now the top scorer of the team. The wicketkeeper batter played an unbeaten knock of 87 runs and forged a match-winning 114-run partnership with youngster Kartik Sharma against DC, which helped CSK chase down the 156-run target in just 17.3 overs.

    “Sanju Samson is batting at his peak right now, and what stands out is his game awareness. He’s very clear about which bowlers to target and which ones to respect. You could see that he was cautious against someone like Lungi Ngidi, but the moment a less threatening option came on, he shifted gears and capitalised. That understanding of match-ups is outstanding," Pathan told Jio Hotstar.
