CSK vs DC Live Score, IPL 2026: Sanju Samson, Jamie Overton shine in Chennai Super Kings’ 23-run win vs Delhi Capitals

(Sanju to Ravi Shastri)

“Yes sir, feels great thanks to you. I think you seem to be my lucky person to meet before every game, so please come every game sir. Yes sir, absolutely. I think to be very honest, I think how much ever form you are in, how much ever matches you have won for your country, a couple of failures definitely puts a lot of doubts in your mind. But I just wanted to go back and do my basics and believe in myself and just stick to my scoring patterns actually. So a lot of thoughts came, I think should I go harder in the start or should I change my game plan.

But I definitely wanted to stick to what was working and luckily it came off beautifully today. I think great wicket. I think thanks for that curator for making a lovely wicket today. So hopefully we can defend the total. Yes sir, I think to start off it was definitely holding a bit. It was sticking on a bit and when Aksar bowled in the powerplay, the ball was holding with the new ball. But when the ball became old, I think it got a great wicket to bat on. And we just stuck to our basics and I was definitely had a great partnership with Aayush. I think such a great youngster. I think really enjoyed batting with him. No sir, nowadays you can’t set a target in mind. You just have to, once you are set in, I think you just have to look at as much a big score as you can put on the board. So I think that was the plan to just keep going. We didn’t lose much wickets.

We had a very long batting order to come. So it was just about picking your bowlers, picking your options and sticking to contribute as much as possible. It’s definitely a challenging score to be very honest, I think. But with the amount of bowlers which we have, I think if we have a good powerplay, I think it will be really good.”
