IPL 2026: Samson, Overton Help CSK Beat DC By 23 Runs, Get First Win Of The Season (ld)
Chennai Super Kings: Sanju Samsons scintillating unbeaten 115and Jamie Overtons clinical 4-18 powered Chennai Super Kings to a commanding 23-run victory over Delhi Capitals and got their first win of the IPL 2026 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Saturday. Samson, the hero of Indias 2026 Mens T20 World Cup triumph, lit up Chepauk with the first century of the ongoing season, smashing 115 off just 56 balls, laced with 15 fours and four sixes at a strike-rate of 205.36, as CSK posted a massive 212/2. In doing so, Samson became the first wicketkeeper-batter to hit an IPL ton for CSK and joined KL Rahul as the only players to score a hundred for three different IPL franchises. He also shared a 113-run stand with youngster Ayush Mhatre, who slammed 59 off 36 deliveries. Despite the stiff target, DC began their chase brightly as Pathum Nissanka and KL Rahul raced past the 50-run mark in the fourth over. However, the momentum shifted decisively when CSK struck thrice in three overs. Overton picked 4-18 - the best figures of the season so far and used hard lengths well to stifle the DC middle order, along with CSK being sharp in ground fielding. Tristan Stubbs provided the lone resistance for DC with a fighting 60 off 38 balls, including four fours and three sixes, but the mounting asking rate proved to be too much. Overton got support from debutant Gurjapneet Singh and Anshul Kamboj, who claimed 3-35, as DC were eventually bowled out for 189 in 20 overs. The result ended CSK's six-game losing streak at Chepauk and gave them their first points of the tournament. Inserted into batting first, Samson and Ruturaj Gaikwad added 61 runs in the Power-play. Samson was fluent from the outset, driving, cutting, and chipping with authority, while Gaikwad laboured to 18-ball 15 before falling to Axar Patel in the seventh over. Mhatre joined Samson at the crease, and the duo regularly sent balls soaring over the boundary ropes and capitalised on sloppy fielding from DC. Mhatre, who got twin reprieves, was retired out in the 18th over after suffering a brief slowdown - a tactical move that brought Shivam Dube to the crease. Samson, who was dropped on 52, reached the three-figure mark with a flick off T Natarajan and celebrated with a Padayappastyle salute that drew roars from the Chepauk crowd donning yellow, chanting his name loudly. Dube ensured the momentum stayed with CSK by chipping in with a brisk 20 off 10 balls, striking two fours and a six in the last two overs as CSK crossed the 210-mark. Chasing 213, Delhi began brightly as Nissanka and Rahul took 16 runs off Khaleel Ahmed in the second over and raced past fifty in the fourth over with some stunning stroke-play. Nissanka struck five fours and two sixes in his 41, while Rahul looked fluent with two boundaries and a six before mistiming a pull off Khaleel. At 61/1 after five overs, DC appeared well placed, but CSK had other ideas - Kamboj accounted for Nissanka in the next over, with Dewald Brevis holding on to the chance at mid on. Gurjapneet then marked his IPL debut with a wicket on the first ball, as Axar Patel cut straight to Sarfaraz Khan at backward point. Sameer Rizvi briefly resisted but fell to Overton, after pulling straight to Brevis at deep square leg. David Miller and Tristan Stubbs attempted to rebuild DCs chase by taking runs off Noor Ahmad and Khaleel. The duo had a 45-run stand before Overton returned to castle Miller with a pacy delivery. Ashutosh Sharmas cameo of 19 off 10, including two sixes, briefly gave CSK a scare, but Noor lured him into a lofted drive that was well taken by Kamboj at sweeper cover. Auqib Nabi followed soon after, caught by Akeal Hosein at extra cover off Overton. Stubbs, meanwhile, battled on and produced some quality shots on both sides of the wickets and reached his fifty in 30 balls with a brace off Gurjapneet. The asking rate, however, kept climbing. Stubbs knock ended when he miscued Overton to Noor at mid off. His dismissal in the 19th over effectively sealed the contest, as Kamboj took out Kuldeep Yadav and Lungi Ngidi to close the game in CSKs favour. Ashutosh Sharmas cameo of 19 off 10, including two sixes, briefly gave CSK a scare, but Noor lured him into a lofted drive that was well taken by Kamboj at sweeper cover.

IPL 2026: Overton Picks 4-18 As CSK Beat DC By 23 Runs, Get First Win Of The Season
Chennai Super Kings: Seam-bowling all-rounder Jamie Overton headlined a dominant bowling performance by picking 4-18 as Chennai Super Kings secured a 23-run victory over Delhi Capitals to get their first win of IPL 2026 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Saturday. Overtons clinical spell - the best figures of the ongoing season so far - stifled DCs chase after their openers, Pathum Nissanka and KL Rahul, had blazed past the 50-run mark in just the fourth over. The momentum shifted decisively when CSK struck thrice in three overs, leaving the visitors' middle order in disarray. Despite a fighting 60 off 38 balls from Tristan Stubbs, DC fell well short of the target and were bowled out for 189 in 20 overs, with CSKs fielding also backing up the bowlers well. Apart from Overtons hard lengths, debutant Gurjapneet Singhs disciplined lines caused constant trouble, while Anshul Kamboj was at his accurate best to pick 3-35. The lack of sustained partnerships also proved to be DCs undoing as CSK got their first win in Chepauk after losing six successive games. Chasing 213, Delhi began brightly as Nissanka and Rahul took 16 runs off Khaleel Ahmed in the second over and raced past fifty in the fourth over. Nissanka struck five fours and two sixes in his 41, while Rahul looked fluent with two boundaries and a six before mistiming a pull to Khaleel. At 61/1 after five overs, DC appeared well placed, but CSK had other ideas - Kamboj accounted for Nissanka in the next over, with Dewald Brevis holding on to the chance at mid on.

Chennai Super Kings: Chennai Super Kings (CSK) wicketkeeper-batter Sanju Samson admitted that even a brief lean patch can trigger significant self-doubt, but credited a ack to basics approach for him making an unbeaten 115 off 56 balls in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 clash against Delhi Capitals at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Saturday. Samson, the hero in Indias 2026 Mens T20 World Cup win, began IPL 2026 with a string of low scores after being traded to CSK last year. But on Saturday, Samson lit up Chepauk with his scintillating stroke-play, particularly through the off-side, to hit 15 fours and four sixes at a strike-rate of 205.36. Apart from being the first wicketkeeper-batter to hit a century for CSK, Samson is also the second batter after KL Rahul to score a hundred for three different IPL teams DC, RR, and now CSK. Feels great thanks to you (Ravi Shastri). I think you seem to be my lucky person to meet before every game, so please come before every game, sir. To be very honest, I think that, however many forms you are in, however many matches you have won for your country, a couple of failures definitely put a lot of doubts in your mind. But I just wanted to go back and do my basics and believe in myself and just stick to my scoring patterns, actually. So a lot of thoughts came, I think, should I go harder in the start, or should I change my game plan? But I definitely want to stick to what was working, and luckily it came off beautifully today, Samson said in a mid-innings chat with the broadcasters. He also noted that the Chepauk surface offered early challenges for the batters, particularly during the Power-play, before easing up as the game progressed. I think to start, it was definitely holding a bit. It was sticking a bit, and when Axar bowled in the Power-play, the ball was holding with the new ball. But when the ball became old, I think it got a great wicket to bat on. And we just stuck to our basics, and Aayush definitely had a great partnership with Aayush (Mhatre, who made 59). I think hes such a great youngster. I think I really enjoyed batting with him, he added. When asked about the team's tactical approach to setting a total in the modern T20 era, Samson spoke about favouring a more aggressive, open-ended mindset. Nowadays, you can't set a target in mind. You just have to, once you are set in, I think you just have to look at it as a big score you can put on the board. But when the ball became old, I think it got a great wicket to bat on. And we just stuck to our basics, and Aayush definitely had a great partnership with Aayush (Mhatre, who made 59). I think hes such a great youngster. I think I really enjoyed batting with him, he added. Also Read: Live Cricket Score Samson expressed confidence in his bowling units ability to defend the tall total, provided they strike early in the second innings. It's definitely a challenging score, to be very honest, I think. But with the amount of bowlers that we have, I think if we have a good powerplay, it will be really good, he concluded.

IPL 2026: Hopefully, DC Can Get Back To Winning Ways, Take That Momentum Forward, Says Stubbs
Chennai Super Kings: Delhi Capitals (DC) batter Tristan Stubbs is hopeful that the side can rediscover its winning rhythm and move past their recent stumble against the Gujarat Titans (GT) to regain momentum in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 when they take on Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in Chennai on Saturday. DC suffered an agonising one-run loss to GT at the Arun Jaitley Stadium and are seeking to get back to winning ways against five-time champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. I think the sign of a good team is when you lose, you just lose. So, we can take a lot of positives from the other night and two good wins to start. So hopefully we can get back in those winning ways and take that momentum forward, Stubbs said in a pre-game chat with the broadcasters. He also revealed about taking a deliberate mental break from cricketing action to stay fresh for the high-pressure encounter at Chepauk. Ive been watching golf for two days, so I havent been thinking about cricket. From what weve seen and during the World Cup, it's quite a good wicket, so hopefully that comes true. A bit more balance than Delhi, so quite excited for that, said Stubbs.

IPL 2026: This Is A Game Where We Can Head Up, Push Ourselves On The Winning Side, Says CSK's Dube
Senior Chennai Super Kings: Senior Chennai Super Kings (CSK) batter Shivam Dube believes the side has gained enough momentum from their recent outings to turn the corner and secure a victory in their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 clash against Delhi Capitals at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Saturday. Five-time champions CSK have been pushed on the back foot early in the season due to three consecutive defeats to Rajasthan Royals, Punjab Kings, and Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Attention will now be on whether CSK can revive their campaign against the Delhi Capitals at their home ground. Overall, we are doing really well. From the first game and the last game we played last game, I think we have come very close. We know we lost by 43 runs in the match (to RCB), but we saw much positivity in the second and third games. I think this is a game where we can head up and push ourselves on the winning side, Dube said in a pre-game chat with the broadcasters. The hard-hitting left-hander also noted that the flat nature of the Chepauk track often leads to high-scoring thrillers despite its expansive boundaries. Definitely, in this stadium, the game goes on a higher side because we know the wicket is very good. The ground is a little big, but the wickets are good, and in IPL, people want that high-scoring game, so even we want to play that kind of cricket, added Dube. Overall, we are doing really well. From the first game and the last game we played last game, I think we have come very close. We know we lost by 43 runs in the match (to RCB), but we saw much positivity in the second and third games.

IPL 2026: Nabi Handed Debut As DC Elect To Bowl First Against CSK, Brevis, Gurjapneet Included
Pacer Auqib Nabi Dar: Pacer Auqib Nabi Dar, the leading wicket-taker in the 2025/26 Ranji Trophy win for Jammu and Kashmir, has been handed his IPL debut cap as Delhi Capitals won the toss and elected to bowl first against Chennai Super Kings in their IPL 2026 encounter at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Saturday. DC arrive on the back of an agonising one-run defeat to the Gujarat Titans, while CSK come with three consecutive defeats behind them. CSK have drafted in Dewald Brevis, who was recovering from a side strain, and left-arm pacer Gurjapneet Singh. After winning the toss, DC skipper Axar Patel said Nabi and Ashutosh Sharma will come in place of Vipraj Nigam and Nitish Rana in the playing eleven. Ashutosh will come in DCs batting innings as the Impact Player, while Sameer Rizvi is slotted at number three. We would like to bowl first because the pitch looks good, and whatever score is set, we would prefer to chase it. The IPL is a long tournament, and the dressing room atmosphere is very relaxed. The discussion has been around focusing on what we can control. Once we reach a certain point, theres no need to overthink things. So thats been the mindset, control whats in our hands. The mood is good. If you look at the balance of our side, we have almost all bases covered. Obviously, based on the options we had, I think weve picked a very good combination. Compared to last year, the team looks more balanced, and hopefully, we will perform well today. As for the surface, it has been a good batting wicket this season. Over the last couple of years in Chennai, it has played well. Its a red soil pitch, so there should be good bounce. Our aim will be to restrict them to as low a total as possible and then chase it down, he said. CSK captain Ruturaj Gaikwad said it was good to have Brevis back and strengthen the middle order, while Gurjapneet replaces Matt Henry. Regarding the status of MS Dhoni, whos recuperating from a calf injury, Gaikwad said he will be watching the game from the team hotel and hopes for him to play very soon. The pitch does look a bit on the drier side. We were actually 50-50 about the toss, but its good to back ourselves. The aim is to put our best foot forward today, get that first win, and get on the points table. Thats what weve been trying over the last couple of games as well. Like I mentioned in the press conference, weve been improving in all departments. The batting has been doing really well; its just a few key moments where weve missed out, and those are the areas we need to capitalise on. But overall, everyone is in a good space and really eager to go. When you look at the balance of the side, we are definitely playing to our potential, he said. In their pitch report, Daren Ganga and Deep Dasgupta noted that the ground dimensions remain challenging - a 79-metre straight boundary is complemented by square boundaries measuring 65 and 68 metres respectively. With pitch becoming more conducive for pacers, they pointed out that visible bare patches could help spinners find some purchase, while an even grass covering should provide a stable platform for batters, making another high-scoring encounter a possibility.

PCA New International Cricket Stadium: Punjab Kings won the toss and elected to bowl against Sunrisers Hyderabad in the 17th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the PCA New International Cricket Stadium on Saturday. PBKS have not made any changes to their team, while Sunrisers Hyderabad has dropped Liam Livingston and Jaydev Unadkat.

Their latest outing against the Kolkata Knight Riders, however, was abandoned due to rain. On the other hand, Sunrisers Hyderabad have had an inconsistent campaign so far. They began with a six-wicket loss to the Royal Challengers Bengaluru, bounced back with a convincing 65-run win over Kolkata, but head into Saturdays clash after suffering a five-wicket defeat to the Lucknow Super Giants. After winning the toss, Punjab Kings captain Shreyas Iyer said, We're going to bowl first. It's a day game and obviously want to get a knack of how the wicket is going to play and a fair idea. But other than that, that's what we've been doing in the last couple of games. We've been thriving on that. (Things to address?) I personally feel that you can't control the nature of the weather, he said. You've just got to go with the flow. And I personally feel that we don't have to address anything at any point in time. Just back each other, back all the youngsters in the team. The more you tell them, the more confusing it gets for them. So, it's better that they live in their own nature and express themselves. No, we're going with the same team, He added. After losing the toss, Ishan Kishan said, We would have loved to bowl first. But yeah, I think wicket looks pretty hard to me. And it's about playing good cricket in the first innings. Obviously, it's a big disadvantage for any team. Pat is a tremendous bowler. He gets on with an experience of his. But still, I feel we've got a young side, young bowlers today in the team. Hopefully, we'll just try and execute the plans, which is the most important thing in T20 cricket. Yeah, there are two changes. Salil comes in in place of Livingstone and Praful Hinge; it's his debut game, in place of Jaydev Unadkat, he added.
