DC vs CSK Highlights, IPL 2026: Sanju Samson shines with unbeaten 87 as Chennai Super Kings beat Delhi Capitals by 8 wickets

IPL 2026, DC vs CSK: Player of the Match - Sanju Samson

"Yeah, they are calling me Chetta, but I like Sanju more. (so much time to play your shots) Yeah, I think we try to find out what works really well for you and you try to stick to the basics and you trust your hands to do the job in this format. So I think I have been trying to do that for the last two-three months. I have been working a bit on my initial movement a bit and it has been coming off nicely. (on his trigger movements at the crease) Yeah, I have been doing it for the last three to five years. So I think comfort definitely plays a huge role in your mindset and [I think] the confidence which you have to go and bat in. And then definitely it's a tactical move as well. So according to the bowlers and the wicket, I try to move around a bit. (calmness about you) To be very honest, I am always like this. The biggest change is you are seeing me more in the middle now, so I think that's why people are saying he's very calm. Even [when] I am sitting out, I am just very calm actually. So when I am batting, 'thoda zyaada ho raha hai, toh sab dekh raha hain ki, haan yaar, ye thoda zyaada calm hai' [there is a little more happening, so everyone is watching that yes, this guy is a little more calm]. (on his knock) Honestly sir, I think looking at what we were chasing and how the wicket was behaving, I felt that even if we have like 30-35 runs for no loss or one wicket, we could easily, like knowing what I can do against the spin and in the middle-overs also, I know my gameplan pretty well. So I thought even if I take some extra time in the powerplay, with the type of shots which I have, I think I can capitalise in the middle-overs. So that was the plan and sometimes it comes off nicely. So today, it came off. Very happy. (this knock is better than a 100?) No. Hundreds are always special, sir. I think so. (no desire to get to the 100 today?) Yeah, it was, but I was like I had to be a bit too selfish to get that. So I thought let's win the game and the other partner was batting really well. So I didn't want to tell him, 'ek single dey de yaar, mai sau bana tha hoon' [take a single, I will get my 100]. So I didn't say that. So I think I really enjoyed it. I think coming out, finishing off the game gives you a better satisfaction. So I just enjoyed it and a few more games to go. Let's see if I get those three figures once again. (the longer he bats, the longer he is calm?) Yes sir, yes sir." - Samson​

Arun Jaitley Stadium was painted yellow on Tuesday evening. Everywhere the eye went, in every stand that celebrated the best that Delhi has ever produced, a trove of yellow jerseys was unmissable. They were there in groups and in small numbers, but their presence was hard to ignore. At one point, chants of 'Dhoni, Dhoni' rang out. Ironically, the former India captain, or 'Thala' as he's more affectionately called by the Chennai Super Kings faithful, hadn't even travelled to the capital and is yet to play a game this IPL season.

At the other end, bar a small section of DC Toli, Delhi Capitals fans were conspicuous by their absence. The blue-and-red of the home side had little to show for themselves and little cause to erupt over the course of Match 48 of IPL 2026.

Chennai Super Kings kept their IPL 2026 campaign alive with a commanding eight-wicket win over Delhi Capitals at the Kotla, a result that has dramatically altered the playoff equation for both teams. CSK’s disciplined bowling, led by Akeal Hosein, restricted DC to a below-par 155/7 before Sanju Samson’s unbeaten 87 off 52 ensured a stress-free chase with 15 balls to spare. More importantly for CSK, the victory pushed them back into the top-four conversation after weeks of inconsistency. With momentum finally building and two of their remaining four games against the struggling Lucknow Super Giants, CSK have given themselves a genuine shot at a late surge.

Sanju Samson led the chase as Chennai Super Kings (CSK) beat Delhi Capitals (DC) by eight wickets in their IPL 2026 match in Delhi on Tuesday.

Chasing 156, Samson stayed not out on 87 off 52 balls, hitting seven fours and six sixes. He batted through the innings as CSK reached the target in 17.3 overs, improving their net run-rate.

Delhi Capitals, who chose to bat first on a surface that was not easy early on, were restricted to 155 for seven.

There are very few sports teams that look as out of place in home conditions as Delhi Capitals do at the Ferozeshah Kotla. For the second match in a row here, the Capitals brought their unsure and inept batting forward to post 155/7 for Chennai Super Kings to chase it down with eight wickets and 15 balls to spare on Tuesday evening.

Not for nothing that the local crowd invariably supports the visiting teams. The stadium turned yellow in favour of CSK despite MS Dhoni not even travelling for the game. The deafening roar after each wicket must have been intimidating for Delhi Capitals. That doesn’t help when you are playing for your survival in the tournament. At the end of the day, CSK’s bowling and Sanju Samson’s assured innings of unbeaten 87 off 52 offered a lesson in playing on a comparatively sluggish surface. This is why CSK are still breathing in this tournament while Capitals are now pushed to the brink.

CSK vs DC, IPL 2026: CSK finding momentum at the perfect time

Just a few weeks ago, Chennai Super Kings looked completely out of rhythm in IPL 2026. Now, they suddenly appear to be peaking at exactly the right moment. Their win over Delhi Capitals was their third victory in four matches and moved them to 10 points from 10 games.

Captain Ruturaj Gaikwad said the dressing room always believed they were closer to success than results suggested earlier in the season. According to him, CSK simply needed momentum and confidence to start clicking as a unit.

Gaikwad especially praised Sanju Samson’s impact, calling him the “backbone” of the batting lineup. The skipper also highlighted the importance of bowlers like Akeal Hosein, Jamie Overton and Anshul Kamboj, who have quietly performed important roles throughout the campaign.

One major positive for CSK has been the emergence of young players. Kartik Sharma continued his impressive rise with an unbeaten 41 during the chase. Gaikwad said the youngster already possessed the skill set but just needed opportunities and confidence.

The numbers also underline Samson’s dominance against Delhi this season. He has now scored 202 runs against DC in IPL 2026, including scores of 115* and 87*. That is the third-highest aggregate by a player against a single opponent in one IPL league stage.

With several teams crowded around the playoff spots, CSK’s improving form and balanced lineup could make them one of the most dangerous sides heading into the final phase of the tournament.

1:50 AM — CSK rise, DC sink as playoff race tightens

The IPL 2026 points table took another twist after Chennai Super Kings comfortably defeated Delhi Capitals in the capital. CSK climbed to sixth place with 10 points from 10 matches and remain firmly in the playoff hunt.

Delhi Capitals, however, slipped further into trouble. They are now seventh with only eight points from 10 matches and a poor net run rate of -0.949. Another defeat could leave them needing miracles to qualify for the playoffs.

Punjab Kings continue to lead the standings with 13 points from nine games, while Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Sunrisers Hyderabad, Rajasthan Royals and Gujarat Titans are all locked on 12 points. The race for the top four is becoming incredibly tight.

For CSK, the biggest positive is that different players are stepping up every game. Samson has become the batting pillar, while the bowling unit looks increasingly settled. Even on a difficult Delhi pitch, Chennai never looked under pressure during the chase.

Delhi, meanwhile, continue to suffer from inconsistency. Their batting has repeatedly collapsed at home, their fielding has been below standard throughout the season and key bowlers like Kuldeep Yadav have struggled badly. Kuldeep has now conceded 24 sixes this season, the most by any bowler in IPL 2026.

As the tournament enters its final stretch, momentum could become the deciding factor. Right now, CSK seem to have found it, while Delhi Capitals are desperately searching for answers before their season slips away completely.

CSK vs DC, IPL 2026: Delhi Capitals staring at elimination after another home defeat

Delhi Capitals’ campaign is rapidly falling apart, and Tuesday night’s defeat against Chennai Super Kings may prove to be a turning point in their season. The loss was their sixth in 10 matches and continued a disastrous run at home.

Since the start of IPL 2025, DC have managed only two wins in 10 completed matches at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. Their batting struggles at home have become a major concern, especially on slightly slow surfaces where the middle order has repeatedly failed to handle pressure.

Against CSK, Delhi once again failed to build partnerships. KL Rahul, Pathum Nissanka, Nitish Rana and Axar Patel all got starts but none converted them into meaningful scores. The team crawled to 37/2 in the powerplay and never fully recovered after slipping to 69/5.

Only Tristan Stubbs and Sameer Rizvi showed composure late in the innings. Rizvi’s unbeaten 40 off 24 deliveries ensured DC crossed 150, but the total still looked below par once the pitch eased up under lights.

Axar Patel admitted after the game that Delhi were “10-15 runs short” and acknowledged the team cannot afford more mistakes. He also pointed out that batting became easier once players got set, something Sanju Samson demonstrated perfectly during the chase.

With only eight points from 10 matches and a terrible net run rate of -0.949, Delhi now face a must-win scenario in almost every remaining game if they want to stay alive in the playoff race.

CSK vs DC, IPL 2026: CSK’s bowlers set up another crucial win

While Sanju Samson grabbed headlines with the bat, Chennai Super Kings’ bowlers laid the platform for victory against Delhi Capitals on a difficult Delhi surface. The pitch offered grip, uneven bounce and enough assistance for spinners, and CSK exploited those conditions perfectly.

Akeal Hosein started things brilliantly by dismissing KL Rahul and conceding just 19 runs from his four overs. Noor Ahmad then turned the screws in the middle overs, removing Karun Nair and Nitish Rana with clever variations and sharp spin.

Delhi’s top order never looked comfortable. Pathum Nissanka fell to a slower delivery from Mukesh Choudhary, while Rahul struggled badly before miscuing a lofted shot. Axar Patel’s poor run with the bat also continued as the DC captain fell cheaply again.

At one stage, Delhi were reduced to 69/5 and looked in danger of another collapse similar to their shocking 75 all out earlier this season at the same venue. Tristan Stubbs and Sameer Rizvi fought back strongly with a 65-run stand, but CSK had already controlled the game by then.

Ruturaj Gaikwad later praised the bowling unit and highlighted how Akeal Hosein and Jamie Overton quietly keep delivering under pressure. Despite Anshul Kamboj having an expensive outing, CSK’s overall discipline stood out once again.

The performance also reflected Chennai’s turnaround this season. After a poor start, they now look far more settled, balanced and confident as the race for the playoffs intensifies.

CSK vs DC, IPL 2026: ‘I like Sanju more’ - Samson reacts after another match-winning knock

Sanju Samson once again proved why Chennai Super Kings invested heavily in him this season. After guiding CSK to a comfortable win over Delhi Capitals with an unbeaten 87, Samson opened up on his batting rhythm, mindset and calmness at the crease.

Speaking after the match, Samson smiled when asked about fans calling him “Chetta.” He replied, “Yeah, they are calling me Chetta, but I like Sanju more.”

The CSK batter revealed that he has been working on his trigger movement and initial setup for the last few months, something that has helped him dominate bowlers this season. Samson explained that he was willing to take extra time in the powerplay because he trusted his ability to attack during the middle overs.

“Honestly sir, I think looking at what we were chasing and how the wicket was behaving, I felt that even if we have like 30-35 runs for no loss or one wicket, we could easily chase it,” Samson said.

Interestingly, Samson admitted he thought about his century but decided against slowing the chase down for personal milestones. “I had to be a bit too selfish to get that. So I thought let’s win the game,” he said.

The knock also continued his remarkable trend this season. In CSK wins, Samson has now scored 362 runs at an astonishing average of 181 and a strike rate touching 180. Whenever he fires, Chennai almost always end up winning comfortably.

CSK vs DC, IPL 2026: Sanju Samson anchors CSK to massive win in Delhi

Chennai Super Kings continued their late surge in IPL 2026 with a commanding eight-wicket win over Delhi Capitals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. Chasing 156 on a tricky surface, CSK got home comfortably in 17.3 overs thanks to a masterclass from Sanju Samson, who remained unbeaten on 87 off 52 balls.

The wicket was expected to get slower as the game progressed, but Samson made batting look far easier than it actually was. He started cautiously, reaching 22 off 22 deliveries before accelerating beautifully against spin and pace alike. Once he settled in, there was no stopping him as he smashed seven fours and six sixes.

Kartik Sharma also played a mature hand, staying unbeaten on 41 off 31 balls. The pair stitched together an unbeaten 114-run stand that completely took the game away from Delhi. Earlier, CSK bowlers had done an excellent job restricting DC to 155/7 after Axar Patel opted to bat first.

Akeal Hosein and Noor Ahmad controlled the middle overs brilliantly, while Mukesh Choudhary’s slower balls created early pressure. Delhi once again struggled badly at home and slipped to 69/5 before Tristan Stubbs and Sameer Rizvi repaired the innings late.

The victory takes CSK to 10 points from 10 games and keeps them firmly alive in the playoff race. Delhi Capitals, meanwhile, are now under massive pressure with only four wins in 10 matches and very little room for error going forward.

Moving on - Right then, that is it from this rather one-sided affair, where Chennai Super Kings got the crucial two points while Delhi Capitals left empty-handed. The action now moves to Hyderabad, where two in-form sides coming off losses, Sunrisers Hyderabad and Punjab Kings, face off at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on 6th May, Wednesday. The game is set to begin at 7.30 pm (2 pm GMT), and as always, you can join us early for all the build-up. Until then, cheers and goodbye!

PLAYER OF THE MATCH -  It is Sanju Samson for his unbeaten, match-winning knock of 87 runs off 52 balls. He says that the fans call him Chetta, but he likes Sanju more. Samson says that they always try to find out what works best, and he has improved a bit on his initial movement over the past few years. He adds that he is always calm, and that his game plan was to capitalise in the middle overs, and it worked for them this time. Sanju reckons that he wanted to get to his hundred, but he kept his team first, and the priority was to win the game. Ends by saying he hopes to get another hundred in this tournament again.

The skipper of the Chennai Super Kings - Ruturaj Gaikwad says that even after the second and third games, the talk within the group was always positive. Mentions that they have pretty much covered all bases as a team, highlighting the strength added by Sanju Samson coming in and the middle order they possess. Gaikwad feels that they just needed a couple of wins to build momentum, and once they got those after the third game, the team started to gel together nicely. Ruturaj says Sanju Samson is the backbone of their batting unit. Adds that bowling wins tournaments, highlighting the presence of Akeal, Overton, and Anshul Kamboj. On Kartik Sharma, the CSK captain says the skillset was always there, and he just needed a few opportunities. Feels he didn’t get enough time in earlier games, but now that he has, he has shown he is not just a slogger.

Presentation Time...

A quick chat - CSK's Kartik Sharma says he really enjoyed the partnership with Sanju Samson. Mentions that the spinners got some help, with the ball stopping and turning a bit. Kartik says that they knew it wasn’t a big total, so they could take their time. Shares that Sanju Samson told him to play his natural game. Says he looked to play his shots whenever the opportunity presented itself, without targeting any particular bowler.

The captain of the Delhi Capitals - Axar Patel says that they thought 155 was a good score considering how the wicket was. He adds that there was something in the wicket, but CSK had a set batter, Sanju Samson, which made things difficult for them. The wicket was difficult to bat on for a new batter. Axar reckons that they finished well with the bat despite losing early wickets, so it's a positive for them. He says that he missed Kuldeep's brilliant bowling, and ends by saying that they will try to win their remaining games and stay in the hunt for the playoffs.

Inconsistent bowling cost DC - Delhi Capitals made a promising start, with Lungi Ngidi striking early and restricting Chennai Super Kings to 44/1 in the Powerplay. However, they failed to build on that momentum and couldn’t chip in with wickets at regular intervals, while Axar was impressive with 1/25, and both Starc and Ngidi kept things tight. Kuldeep Yadav and T Natarajan, however, proved expensive and allowed the pressure to slip, making it even tougher to defend what was already a below-par total.

DC fight back to go past 150 - Earlier in the game, Delhi Capitals were in deep trouble at 69/5 but fought back brilliantly to post a competitive total, with Tristan Stubbs and Impact Sub Sameer Rizvi adding a crucial 65-run stand. Rizvi top-scored with a quick 40 off 24, and a late push from Ashutosh Sharma helped them get past 150. Chennai Super Kings were solid with the ball, especially their spinners, who combined for 3/41 in 7 overs. Overton, Gurjapneet Singh and Mukesh Choudhary chipped in with a wicket each, but their in-form bowler Anshul Kamboj had an off day and was taken to the cleaners.

A match-defining stand seals it for CSK - It was not a daunting target for Chennai Super Kings, but they were dealt an early blow yet again with the loss of their skipper in the Powerplay. Sanju Samson, though, carried on his fine form, blending composure with calculated aggression to hold the innings together. Urvil Patel added a handy cameo, but the defining moment came through the unbeaten 114-run stand between Samson and Kartik Sharma, a partnership that effectively shut the door on Delhi Capitals. Samson capped off a fine effort with a well-crafted half-century and remained unbeaten on 87 off 52. The duo kept things firmly under control, timing their attacks smartly to ensure there were no late hiccups, with Kartik once again finishing things off by hitting the winning runs, just like he did against the Mumbai Indians.

Super Kings march on - Chennai Super Kings have completed the double over Delhi Capitals, with Sanju Samson once again playing a key role in their success, as they extend their already strong head-to-head record to 21-12 against the home side, making it two consecutive wins for CSK as they move into double digits for the season and stay within touching distance of the teams above them. Delhi Capitals slump to their fourth defeat in the last five games, a result that further dents their already fading playoff hopes.
