CSK brilliant 103 runs defeat Mumbai Indians
Sanju Samson scored his fifth IPL century tonight and his second this season. He made an unbeaten hundred against the Delhi Capitals. However, this inning was different. It was not a controlled knock on an easy pitch against mediocre bowling. Instead, it was a century built while wickets fell around him, facing a Mumbai Indians attack that included Bumrah, Santner, Ghazanfar, and Ashwani Kumar—all on a pitch that was more challenging than usual for Wankhede.
He reached his half-century in just 26 balls, hitting six boundaries and three sixes. That marked his 27th IPL half-century. After the power play, he consistently built his momentum.
