Sanju Samson is back in the thick of the action for Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2026, and fans at the MA Chidambaram Stadium were treated to another masterclass as CSK took on the Lucknow Super Giants this Sunday afternoon.

Since smashing the season's first century against Delhi Capitals, Samson has been on a roll, establishing himself as CSK's leading run-scorer. The explosive opener has already notched up two centuries this campaign, including a stunning 101 off 54 balls against arch-rivals Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium. However, cricket is a game of fine margins—in the very next clash against MI, he fell early for just 11 runs off nine deliveries.

But Samson bounced back in style. In CSK's previous outing against Delhi Capitals, he played a breathtaking knock of 87* off just 52 balls, laced with seven fours and six sixes. That innings powered CSK to a dominant eight-wicket victory, reminding everyone why he's one of the most dangerous batsmen in the tournament.

Facing LSG at Chepauk, Samson once again opened the innings for CSK, looking to add to his impressive tally. With the yellow army roaring behind him, all eyes were on the wicketkeeper-batsman to deliver another memorable performance under the Chennai sun.
