Samson Century Powers CSK Past DC as Overton Seals Thrilling IPL Win
A high-pressure IPL clash turned into a statement night as Chennai Super Kings finally broke through with their first win of the season, powered by a breathtaking century and a late bowling masterclass that shut the door on Delhi Capitals when it mattered most.
Chennai Super Kings posted a commanding total of 212 for 2 and it was Sanju Samson who lit up the stage with a stunning unbeaten 115 off just 56 balls. From the very first aggressive stroke, he controlled the tempo, finding boundaries with ease and punishing anything short or wide. He was well supported by 18-year-old Ayush Mhatre, who impressed with a fluent 59 before being tactically retired out after a strong platform was built. Delhi’s bowling attack struggled to find breakthroughs, with Axar Patel standing out as the only wicket-taker, removing Ruturaj Gaikwad early for just 15.
Delhi Capitals began their chase with intent, racing to 61 without loss inside the powerplay, but the momentum shifted dramatically. In a collapse that stunned their supporters, they slipped from 61 for 0 to 76 for 4. KL Rahul fell for 18, while Pathum Nissanka’s 41 offered brief stability before wickets kept tumbling. The pressure kept building as Chennai tightened their grip through disciplined lines and relentless length.

David Miller was dismissed in spectacular fashion, bowled by Jamie Overton in a delivery that clipped the leg stump and broke Delhi’s rhythm further. Still, Tristan Stubbs refused to surrender, launching a counterattack with a powerful 60 that kept the chase alive deep into the final overs. At one stage, Delhi needed 32 runs from just 12 balls and the game hung in the balance.
That’s when Jamie Overton stepped up again, despite discomfort from a sore side. His 19th over was a defining moment, conceding just four runs and removing Stubbs at a crucial juncture. The final push came from Anshul Kamboj, who struck twice in the last over to seal Delhi’s fate as they were bowled out for 189.
Chennai Super Kings walked away with a 23-run victory, climbing off the bottom of the table and above Kolkata Knight Riders. It was a win built on composure under pressure and timely execution when the game was on a knife’s edge.
