The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 has reached a fever pitch. On a “Super Saturday” filled with high-octane drama, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) finally found their rhythm, securing a much-needed victory at their fortress, Chepauk. From Sanju Samson’s historic ton to a heated dugout dispute involving Nitish Rana, the weekend matches have completely reshaped the leaderboard and sparked intense debate across social media.
Introduction: Sanju Samson Slams Maiden Century for CSK
Chennai Super Kings registered their first win of the season by defeating Delhi Capitals by 23 points at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium. Batting first, CSK posted a daunting total of 212/2. The star of the show was Sanju Samson, who played a breathtaking innings of 115 off just 56 balls*, laced with 15 boundaries and 4 sixes.
With this knock, Samson became the first wicketkeeper-batter in CSK history to score a century. He was ably supported by young sensation Ayush Mhatre, who scored a gritty 59. In reply, Delhi Capitals were restricted to 189 despite a fighting 60 from Tristan Stubbs. Jamie Overton was the pick of the bowlers for Chennai, dismantling the Delhi middle order with figures of 4/18.
