Initially, before the toss, the surface looked hard enough to bat on. But, as soon as the match started, equations and predications started to change. KL Rahul and Pathum Nissanka, the in-form openers of the home team, Delhi Capitals, departed inside the power play. Inside the 11th over of the first innings, DC’s half of the batting line-up was gone.
Sameer Rizvi helped the team to boost up the strike rate. The Impact Sub of DC remained unbeaten for 40 off 24.
Sanju Samson created the difference between CSK and DC
CSK, when they came to bat in the second innings, also lost a couple of wickets quickly in the forms of their skipper, Ruturaj Gaikwad, and Urvil Patel. Sanju Samson, who already recorded a pair of hundreds for CSK in IPL 2026, remained firm on the track and kept on the side of the crease solid while chasing a target of 156. The target was not massive, but it might be the nature of the pitch, which made life hard for the batters to accumulate runs.
Ruturaj Gaikwad praised Samson
Sanju Samson’s masterclass sealed the win for the team against the Delhi Capitals. Samson remained not out from 87 runs from 52 balls. Chennai won the match by 8 wickets and 15 balls to spare.
“On the batting side, more than grateful to have Sanju after the tournament he had in the WC, he's our backbone, but it's the bowlers who do the job. Aleal and Jamie come and silently do the job, Anshul is someone who does his job silently, he had a bad game today, but they've all come well together,” he added.
