IPL 2026: Stuck To What I Do And It Came Off Beautifully, Says Sanju Samson After Hitting An Unbeaten 115
Chennai Super Kings: Chennai Super Kings (CSK) wicketkeeper-batter Sanju Samson admitted that even a brief lean patch can trigger significant self-doubt, but credited a "back to basics" approach for him making an unbeaten 115 off 56 balls in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 clash against Delhi Capitals at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Saturday.
Samson, the hero in India’s 2026 Men’s T20 World Cup win, began IPL 2026 with a string of low scores after being traded to CSK last year. But on Saturday, Samson lit up Chepauk with his scintillating stroke-play, particularly through the off-side, to hit 15 fours and four sixes at a strike-rate of 205.36.
Apart from being the first wicketkeeper-batter to hit a century for CSK, Samson is also the second batter after KL Rahul to score a hundred for three different IPL teams – DC, RR, and now CSK.
