MI vs CSK, IPL 2026: Sanju Samson stars as Mumbai Indians suffered their worst defeat in history
Keeper-batsman Sanju Samson showed his class at the Wankhede Stadium, batting throughout the innings to give the Super Kings a match-winning score of 207/6. While Samson scored 101* off 54 deliveries, reaching his target in the last ball of the innings, none of the other batters could contribute much as they squandered promising starts. After scoring his first century of the season against Delhi Capitals, Samson has now become the first CSK batsman to score two tons in a season.
Chasing 208, Mumbai Indians lost Quinton de Kock (7), Danish Malewar (0) and Namn Dhir (0) in the first three overs. The procession continued after Tilak Varma fell for 37 and he along with Suryakumar Yadav (35) were one of the only two batters to reach double figures. Left-arm spinner Akeal Hosein was the pick of the bowlers with impressive figures of 4-0-16-4. Noor Ahmad grabbed two while Mukesh Choudhary, Anshul Kamboj, Jamie Overton and Gurjapneet Singh grabbed one each.
It is also Mumbai Indians’ worst defeat by 104 runs and a loss of 103 runs.
