Shubman Gill Becomes Youngest Player To Reach 4,000 IPL Runs
Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari: Gujarat Titans captain Shubman Gill etched his name in the record books by becoming the youngest player to cross the 4,000-run mark in the Indian Premier League (IPL). The milestone came during his knock against Lucknow Super Giants at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium on Sunday, when he moved past the landmark with his 25th run. The elegant right-hander reached the feat in 118 innings, making him the second-fastest Indian to get to 4,000 IPL runs, behind KL Rahul, who accomplished it in 105 innings. Among all players, only Chris Gayle (112 innings), David Warner (114) and Jos Buttler (116), besides Rahul, have reached the milestone quicker than Gill.

Lucknow Super Giants: Gujarat Titans all-rounder Washington Sundar shed light on his approach to handling high-pressure situations, emphasising the importance of staying mentally free and trusting his natural game. Speaking on GTs tense last-ball win in their previous game ahead of their clash against Lucknow Super Giants, Sundar highlighted how focusing on the right energy and allowing instincts to take over has shaped his performances, offering insight into the mindset that drives him in crunch moments. Sundar himself played a pivotal role in the win, contributing a valuable half-century, and the all-rounder spoke about his approach with the bat this season, focusing more on mindset than technical changes. Honestly, it's just about going out there and putting your best energy out and just let your instincts come through. And there's not a lot of things that I honestly worked on, especially mentally. Just wanted to go there and be in the right energy and just express myself, he said ahead of the LSG vs GT clash at the Ekana Cricket Stadium here on Sunday. Gujarat edged out Delhi in a dramatic finish that went down to the final ball, with their bowlers holding firm under immense pressure. Sundar admitted the narrow margin left plenty to think about, even as the team took confidence from how they handled crunch situations. There were a lot of things that were running on all of our minds in terms of how close the game went. And obviously, could have executed things a little better here and there. But to be honest, bowlers bowled really well, especially under pressure. And Prasidh in particular, bowling that final over with five fielders inside the circle, defending 12, it's always going to be a lot challenging. But obviously, skill is never a question over here. It's all about our decision-making, what's the choice of ball and how will we execute it. And I think we did that pretty well last game, he noted. While such wins can often provide momentum, Sundar was measured in his assessment of its impact on the campaign, underlining the importance of consistency in a long tournament. But obviously, skill is never a question over here. It's all about our decision-making, what's the choice of ball and how will we execute it. And I think we did that pretty well last game, he noted.

IPL 2026: The Monkey Is Off Samsons Back After This Hundred, Says Raina
Chennai Super Kings: Former India and Chennai Super Kings batter Suresh Raina believes Sanju Samsons match-winning century against Delhi Capitals in IPL 2026 has effectively removed the burden of expectation from the shoulders of the wicketkeeper-batter and silenced his critics. Samsons unbeaten 115 off 56 balls, laced with 15 fours and four sixes at a strike rate of 205.36, is also the first hundred of the IPL 2026 season, and comes after a lean run in first three games. The monkey is off Sanju Samsons back now after this hundred. It is never easy walking into a new franchise and performing immediately, especially with the expectations Sanju has come in with. Joining the joint most successful side in the IPL comes with hard performance expectations. This century will help Samson silence his critics, said Raina on Star Sports. It was the knock CSK and their loyal fans craved seeing from Samsons bat after being traded to the franchise last year from Rajasthan Royals. 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. His presence as an opener sets up CSKs middle order so much better. When you have the ability to inject Shivam Dube or bring in Ayush Mhatre, he comes in and plays freely because they have got a decent start. He is batting with a guy who looks in total control of his game. It gives you the luxury. Dewald Brevis didn't even walk out to bat in this contest against Delhi. That just goes to show what structuring your top order right does for the rest of your team. The flow-on effect is clear, added Raina. Despite Samsons scintillating century, Raina felt seam-bowling all-rounder Jamie Overton was the game's most influential player. Jamie Overton is a serious cricketer for me. He should have been the player of the match. He outsmarted all the DC batters with his variations. 'The four wickets he picked up on a batting-friendly wicket was the point of difference. He is one of those players you want in the contest when it is on the line. He likes the big moments. Every time he gets an opportunity around the world, whether it is franchise cricket or for England, he gets the job done, he added. Turning his attention to Delhi Capitals, Raina expressed concern over the team's over-reliance on young right-handed batter Sameer Rizvi and their mid-innings collapse during the chase, as DC were bowled out for 189. When a side like DC has been bailed out a couple of times by one player who is not your international standard superstar, it raises a bit of concern. It is not like Sameer Rizvi is an international standard superstar just yet. Turning his attention to Delhi Capitals, Raina expressed concern over the team's over-reliance on young right-handed batter Sameer Rizvi and their mid-innings collapse during the chase, as DC were bowled out for 189. Also Read: Live Cricket Score The alarm bells for me are that they lost wickets in quick succession in the middle phase of the run chase and they were set up beautifully by the CSK bowlers after five overs to really turn the screws on a side that has been down on form and confidence throughout the middle.

Gaikwad Will Feel At Ease With Two Points On The Board For CSK: Faf Du Plessis
Former South Africa: Former South Africa captain Faf du Plessis believes that skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad will feel at ease after leading Chennai Super Kings (CSK) to a 23-run win over Delhi Capitals in IPL 2026, a victory which he feels will go a long way in giving them the confidence for bringing their campaign on track. Sanju Samsons scintillating unbeaten 115 powered CSK to post a massive 212/2. He also shared a 113-run stand with youngster Ayush Mhatre, who slammed 59 off 36 deliveries. Overton picked 4-18, the best figures of the season so far, and used hard lengths well to stifle the DC middle order, as they were eventually bowled out for 189. I think Ruturaj Gaikwads captaincy has been very good. Even in the previous games, there were no tactical blunders or errors from his side that are keeping CSK back. For him individually, to get that confidence going, this win will go a long way. This will reflect in his batting as well. As a captain, sometimes you get burdened by the results and what is happening around you. Ruturaj will feel at ease now that he has put two points on the board for CSK. That confidence will show in his batting when he bats next, said du Plessis on Star Sports. While discussing the broader tournament landscape, du Plessis also identified the Shreyas Iyer-led Punjab Kings as a major threat, labelling them among the itle favourites due to their batting depth, though he admitted to some concerns present over their bowling resources. PBKS batters are doing really well and that is helping them in the IPL once again. Last season, all their batters played a crucial role in helping them reach the final. This season, their batting unit is delivering again.

'One Or Two Games Don't Define Us': DC Skipper Axar Motivates Teammates After Back-to-back Losses
Chennai Super Kings: Delhi Capitals captain Axar Patel motivated the players in the dressing room after they suffered a 23-run loss against five-time champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the IPL 2026 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. Delhi Capitals kicked off their season with back-to-back victories over Lucknow Super Giants and Mumbai Indians, impressing with both their strong batting lineup and disciplined bowling attack. However, their winning momentum was halted in their third match, where they fell agonisingly short, losing by just one run to the Gujarat Titans, and now they have suffered another defeat on Saturday against CSK. I want to say as a team, yes, we want to win. That time we were also together, we lost to them. So we lost together. As a team, I think this one or two games doesn't define us. And it's okay, we lost the game. But for me, the positive point was that we are playing good cricket, Axar said in a dressing room video released by Delhi Capitals on X. Axar also urged the players to maintain unity in the team and trust each other to do the job. Things that doesn't come our way, when that kicks, this team looks scary. But for that, we have to stay together. We are talking about stay together, trust in each other. Now is the time we have to stay together and come together and start again. Speaking of the match, CSK were put in to bat first by DC and delivered a commanding performance. Sanju Samson led from the front with an unbeaten 115 off 56 balls, smashing 15 fours and four sixes, while Ayush Mhatre chipped in with a fluent 59 off 36 balls, including three fours and four sixes. Their efforts powered CSK to a formidable 212 for 2 in 20 overs. Axar also urged the players to maintain unity in the team and trust each other to do the job.

IPL 2026: Overton Deserved Player Of The Match Award In CSKs Win Over DC, Opines Jaffer
Chennai Super Kings: Former India opener Wasim Jaffer believes England seam-bowling all-rounder Jamie Overton was more deserving of the Player of the Match award than centurion Sanju Samson in Chennai Super Kings beating Delhi Capitals by 23 runs, adding that his spell was the point of difference in the five-time winners getting their first win of IPL 2026. Samson was given the award for hitting an unbeaten 115 off 56 balls, while Overtons figures of 4-18 on a batting-friendly surface ensured DC were bowled out for 189. According to me, it should have been Overton. If he didn't get the spell, CSK wouldn't have won. Because he got very important wickets. In four overs, just 18 runs, where the target was 210. I thought the point of difference was that. Although, if Sanju didn't get the innings, (CSK) wouldn't have scored so many runs (212 for 2). So it was very difficult (to decide). But in such a big game, where batting is easy, I think Overton should have been given (the player of the match award), said Jaffer on ESPNCricinfo. Overton dismantled the DC middle order, claiming the important wickets of Sameer Rizvi, David Miller, Auqib Nabi, and Tristan Stubbs. Former Australian captain Aaron Finch agreed with Jaffers views and lauded Overtons ability to maintain high speeds while executing his variations pacy deliveries mixed with hit-the-deck balls. Although, if Sanju didn't get the innings, (CSK) wouldn't have scored so many runs (212 for 2). So it was very difficult (to decide). But in such a big game, where batting is easy, I think Overton should have been given (the player of the match award), said Jaffer on ESPNCricinfo. Also Read: Live Cricket Score He just strangled them through the middle when he had that opportunity. Big wickets at big times. I think he's a seriously good cricketer. The skill set that he brings - bat, ball, field - another one of those players that you want in the game, in the contest, when it's on the line. He likes the big moments. Every time he gets an opportunity around the world, whether it's franchise (cricket) or for England, he gets the job done, added Finch. Article Source: IANS

Chennai Super Kings: Chennai Super Kings (CSK) wicketkeeper batter Sanju Samson described his match-winning century against Delhi Capitals (DC) in the 18th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium as very special, saying it was driven by a desire to repay the faith shown in him by the franchise after their record-breaking trade ahead of the season. I've scored a few hundreds in this format, but this one feels a bit special. Scoring it in Chepauk, in front of the home crowd I didnt have a proper start, but once I knew I had settled and everything felt right, I didnt want to leave the ground and just wanted to contribute as much as possible, Samson said in a video released by IPL on X. The right-hander admitted that a relaxed mindset, following a successful World Cup campaign, played a crucial role in his approach. To be honest, I think I was much more relaxed. Coming out of a really good World Cup definitely helps. There was no point of proving myself, but definitely a point of giving something back to the franchise, he said. Samson also highlighted the responsibility he felt after the franchise made a historic move to bring him in by letting go of their talisman, Ravindra Jadeja, along with Sam Curran. They have trusted me. They have done their biggest trade ever in the history of the IPL. So I kind of felt, Okay, Sanju, you need to put your hand up and say, Im going to win a game for you guys. That feeling was there, he added. The wicketkeeper-batter shared about the challenges he faced earlier in the tournament, where he scored just 22 runs in the opening three matches, revealing that a string of failures had brought doubts but also helped him find a way back. To be very honest, after three failures, a lot of doubts definitely come in. I have failed a lot in my career and had setbacks, so I knew how to come back. I just took my own time to settle, and then after the power play, I knew how to accelerate, Samson explained. Samson created history by becoming the first player to score centuries for three different Indian Premier League (IPL) franchises, securing his first century for CSK after two tons for Rajasthan Royals and a century for Delhi Capitals (DC). He is also the only player to score the first century of the season four times. He achieved the milestone in 2017, 2018, 2021, and in 2026. To be very honest, after three failures, a lot of doubts definitely come in. I have failed a lot in my career and had setbacks, so I knew how to come back. I just took my own time to settle, and then after the power play, I knew how to accelerate, Samson explained. Also Read: Live Cricket Score Samson completed his century in 52 balls and remained unbeaten at 115 as CSK scored 212/2 runs in 20 overs.

IPL 2026: 'CSK Were Tired Of Losing Three Games In A Row', Says Bowling Consultant Simons
Chennai Super Kings: Five-time champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) were fuelled by a desperation to snap a three-game losing streak and were desperate to win their IPL 2026 match against Delhi Capitals, according to the sides bowling consultant Eric Simons. At the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Sanju Samsons unbeaten 115 and Jamie Overtons 4-18 helped CSK beat DC by 23 runs and get their first win of the ongoing competition. The victory also meant CSK got their first win in Chepauk after losing six successive games. I mean, its always been about this tournament; you need to get on a roll, and you need to get the positivity going. But theres a lot of positivity around the camp, obviously, after a win like this, but even leading into it, the practices and attitudes have been good. Here, the self-belief was very good; was it lagging behind the previous games? No, I dont think so there was a lack of self-belief. Its funny, often fielding is the mood of a team, and Sarfaraz takes the catch like this, it just lifts everybody, so that happens. Id say the boys really were desperate to win this one. I think we were tired of losing two-three games in a row, so there was a certain attitude about the guys rather than anything else, but the self-belief has always been there, said Simons in the post-match press conference. Speaking about Samsons knock, Simons equated his calmness with that of the legendary MS Dhoni. I've been privileged to spend many years being involved with MS Dhoni. He's one of the calmest cricketers I've ever come across, and Sanju Samson's not far behind that. He just understands the game from that perspective. I've seen no panic. There was never any doubt that this was coming. You've just got to keep trusting and believing in your quality, and he certainly has that in abundance, he added. CSK entered Saturdays fixture facing significant scrutiny over their ability to rebound from a heavy 43-run defeat to Royal Challengers Bengaluru last Sunday. Simons insisted CSKs internal morale remained intact, dismissing suggestions of a dip in dressing room confidence. I think it is a habit, you get used to it - getting into tough situations and getting yourself out. The mood in the changing room tonight is obviously really good, but it never really dropped; I mean, it was always a case of, I really mean it, I think people looked at the RCB game and thought we were a long way behind. We didnt think we were a long way behind, the numbers probably, we could have easily found 30 runs with your bowl, then you chase at 220 and you get to 210 having lost an early wicket, so we didnt feel we were a long way behind, so theres a lot of positivity anyway, he added. I think it is a habit, you get used to it - getting into tough situations and getting yourself out.

IPL 2026: Samson's Game Awareness Is Excellent; When He Gets Going, He Makes It Count, Says Kumble
Chennai Super Kings: Former India captain Anil Kumble has hailed Sanju Samsons unbeaten 115 against Delhi Capitals as a masterclass in technical discipline, specifically pointing to the batsman's commitment to playing straight and not with a horizontal bat as the foundation of his success. Samson notched up the first hundred of the IPL 2026 season after a lean run in his first three games for Chennai Super Kings, and played a key role in the side winning by 23 runs at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. You can see from his wagon wheel that he plays all around the ground. Its not just that he has a strong off-side or a strong on-side. What was really impressive was that he was looking to play straight, not with a horizontal bat. When your initial thought process is to play with a straight bat, and then you make those adjustments when a bowler pitches it short, it becomes much easier for a batter to score runs. His game awareness is excellent, and when he gets going, he makes it count. We saw that in the T20 World Cup. He didnt convert those 90s into 100s, but it was different in this game. It was his first hundred for CSK and his fourth overall, a big relief for CSK fans, and also for Sanju Samson, as there was a lot of pressure on him after a tough first three games, said Kumble on JioHotstar. Former India batter Cheteshwar Pujara, who was associated with CSK in the IPL 2021 season, weighed in on how such a win will be a confidence booster for the Ruturaj Gaikwad-led side. We saw that in the T20 World Cup. He didnt convert those 90s into 100s, but it was different in this game.

IPL 2026: Losing Four Wickets In Four Overs Cost Us The Game, Says DCs Venugopal Rao
Chennai Super Kings: Venugopal Rao, the Director of Cricket at Delhi Capitals, admitted that a middle-order collapse in the face of some superb bowling from Chennai Super Kings led to team's a 23-run defeat in their IPL 2026 clash at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. Chasing a target of 213, DC lost momentum after a flurry of wickets, and were bowled out for 189. I think after seeing this second innings batting, there was a bit of that feeling (that CSK posted an above-par total). Two overs, 24 in the middle overs, I think it cost us. Obviously, if you look back now, after seeing CSKs bowling, their four fast bowlers bowled well. They knew the conditions and executed it well. I felt losing four wickets in four overs was the turning point. In this format, losing back-to-back wickets always causes harm to the team. I think it is a game of momentum. If we had restricted them to 15-20 runs fewer, psychologically we have a better chance of chasing down a total below 200, said Rao in the post-game press conference. DC also had a sloppy fielding performance, including a botched run-out and a catch dropped of Sanju Samson on 52, who went on to score an unbeaten 115. I think fielding was one area that we need to improve a lot. If we fielded well, we could have saved 1520 runs, and it would have helped us a lot. It happens in a long tournament. You will have one or two bad games. Obviously, if you look back, first three games we fielded well, we took good catches. One odd game, fielding matters. If you remember after the strategic timeout, one over, we missed one run-out and one catch, added Rao. DC also had a sloppy fielding performance, including a botched run-out and a catch dropped of Sanju Samson on 52, who went on to score an unbeaten 115. Also Read: Live Cricket Score Despite the loss, Rao was full of praise for Samsons brilliant century for CSK. Hes a class player, boss. You need to accept it.
