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

A fine finish for the Capitals - 49 runs came off the last 3 overs, and that has allowed Delhi to post a fighting total. It was a grind for most part of their innings on a sticky wicket, but that late flourish has meant that they will carry that momentum into the break. On the other hand, the Chennai Super Kings will be a bit disappointed with the finish, having had the home side in check going into the death overs.

Mitchell Starc is in next, but it will be Sameer Rizvi on strike for the final ball.

Anshul Kamboj to Sameer Rizvi, SIX! Wow..that is exactly what DC needed to finish their innings! Kamboj serves this fuller and on off, Sameer Rizvi shuffles a bit in his crease, gets right under the ball and pumps it over the long off fence for a biggie. Delhi Capitals end with 155/7!

Direct hit! Ashutosh Sharma looks short, and he indeed is.

Anshul Kamboj to Ashutosh Sharma, OUT! ASHUTOSH SHARMA IS RUN OUT! Anshul Kamboj serves this fuller and on off, Ashutosh Sharma crouches low and bunts it towards mid off.

He has done his job with a quick cameo, and DC are 149/7 now.
