After amassing an unbeaten 115 against the Delhi Capitals, the wicket-keeper batter posted 101 not out of 54 deliveries, including 10 fours and 6 sixes. Overall, he has hit five centuries in the tournament and has joined the list of great batters.
Players with the most IPL hundreds
Virat Kohli – 8
Jos Buttler – 7
Chris Gayle – 6
KL Rahul – 5
Sanju Samson – 5
The right-handed batter kept losing partners from the other end but continued to bat with authority to take the score to 207/6 in the allotted 20 overs. He hit three centuries for his previous franchise Rajasthan Royals, and now he is making his performance count for the five-time champions in the IPL 2026.
After struggling in a few matches, Samson started showing his class and form for the Chennai Super Kings. He was traded from Rajasthan before the start of the 19th season as a long-term replacement for legendary batter MS Dhoni, and he has justified the trust of the team management and the owners.
In the first three games, he managed 6, 7 and 9 against the RR, PBKS and RCB, respectively. He came to life against the Capitals and followed it with 45 in a contest with KKR. The match between SRH and CSK saw him getting dismissed for just 7 before he returned to form in Mumbai.
In 184 matches, he has scored 4997 runs at an average of 31.82 and a strike rate of 140.87. Samson has smashed five tons, 26 fifties, 410 fours and 234 sixes so far.
