Sanju Samson showcased a remarkable performance with an unbeaten 87 off 52 balls, leading Chennai Super Kings (CSK) to a vital eight-wicket victory over Delhi Capitals (DC) in a crucial IPL match.

Despite choosing to bat first, DC managed only 155 for seven on a challenging pitch, as CSK's spinners capitalized effectively.

In response, Samson and Kartik Sharma formed a decisive 114-run partnership, ensuring CSK's fifth win of the season while further complicating DC's playoff ambitions.
