IPL 2026: Samson’s Unbeaten 87 Helps CSK Register Eight-wicket Win Over DC
Chennai Super Kings: Wicketkeeper-batter Sanju Samson’s commanding 87 not out off 52 balls steered Chennai Super Kings to a big eight-wicket win over Delhi Capitals and jumped to ten points in match 48 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi on Tuesday.
The win keeps five-time winners CSK in sixth place, but they are now just two points adrift of the crowded top five. On a sticky pitch offering grip and turn, Akeal Hosein (1-19) and Noor Ahmad (2-22) set the tone to keep DC to 155/7. Samson ensured the chase was anchored with composure and class by hitting seven fours and six maximums to take CSK home with 15 balls to spare.
What stood out was not just Samson’s authority on pitch easing out, apart from sharing an unbroken 114-run stand off 66 balls with Kartik Sharma, who hit an impressive 41 not out off 31 balls, to keep DC’s bowlers under pressure and pick two crucial points for CSK.
