Mumbai, April 24: In an exciting clash at Wankhede Stadium on Thursday, the Mumbai Indians (MI) faced off against the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in IPL 2026. Wicketkeeper-batsman Sanju Samson delivered an outstanding century, leading CSK to victory. Former Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh hailed this innings as one of Samson’s finest performances to date.
On JioHotstar’s Google Search AI Mode Match Center Live, JioStar expert Harbhajan Singh noted, “Sanju Samson stood out due to his game awareness. Many players possess talent, but few understand how to advance their innings in different situations. He recognized the importance of batting until the end, especially with a young team around him. After his half-century, he shifted gears, focusing on singles and doubles, ensuring he remained at the crease. With wickets falling at the other end, he took responsibility and finished the match strongly. For me, this was one of the best innings in terms of awareness and determination.”
Samson, opening the innings against MI, scored an unbeaten 101 runs off 54 balls, featuring 10 fours and 6 sixes. This marked his second century of the season and the fifth of his IPL career. Previously, he had scored 115 runs off 56 balls against the Delhi Capitals.
Thanks to Samson’s remarkable innings, CSK posted a total of 207 runs for 6 wickets. With Akil Hossain’s impressive bowling performance (4 wickets), CSK restricted MI to just 104 runs in 19 overs, winning the match by a significant margin of 103 runs. This victory propelled CSK to the fifth position in the points table.
