Sam Samson hits IPL century

Samson's innings, which included a vital 113-run partnership with youngster Ayush Mhatre, silenced critics following a shaky start to his tenure with the Super Kings.

The victory was further secured by Jamie Overton's impressive four-wicket haul, which dismantled the Delhi Capitals' middle order during their chase of 212.

While the match was a triumph for CSK, it was not without controversy, as the team was criticized for 'retiring out' Mhatre on 59 to accelerate late scoring.

The win moves Chennai up to ninth in the points table, providing much-needed momentum as the tournament enters its third week.
