Samson spotted at Chennai beach
In a candid moment at Chennai beach, Samson was spotted playing cricket and football, taking full advantage of the off time. He was spotted arriving in a car before a set of fans already playing at the beach came to receive him. Samson would bat and field and entertain the crowd, enjoying every moment.
What happened in CSK’s last match?
Urvil Patel smashed the joint-fastest half-century of the IPL 2026 to help the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) register a comprehensive five-wicket victory against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Sunday.
Chasing a big target of 204 runs, skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad and Sanju Samson gave a blazing start by collecting 11 runs from the first over of Mohammed Shami and then 15 runs from Prince Yadav’s over.
Digvesh Singh Rathi was introduced into the bowling attack in the fourth over, and Samson welcomed him with a four and a six. Rathi bowled him on the fourth delivery to get the first breakthrough for his side. Samson made 28 off 14 balls with the help of three fours and a couple of sixes.
Urvil Patel came to bat after that and got off the mark with a single. Patel hit a hat-trick of sixes in the next over of Avesh Khan. Rathi was called to bowl again, and Patel hit him for four consecutive boundaries, including three sixes and a four. Mohammed Shami came to bowl the next over, and Patel hit him for another six and completed his half-century with a single on the last delivery of the over. Patel joined Yashasvi Jaiswal for the record of the fastest IPL fifty in just 13 balls.
Shahbaz Ahmed got rid of Patel in the ninth over at the score of 65 runs. He played just 23 balls and hit eight sixes and a couple of fours. Gaikwad kept holding the fort from one end, and runs kept flowing for the CSK.
