Samson's maiden T20 century helped Delhi Daredevils (DD) post a mammoth 205/4 against Rising Pune Supergiant (RPS) at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium.

The 22-year-old right-hander, who became the second youngest to strike a century in the IPL, converted a brilliant half-century into a well deserved hundred.

The youngster took the Pune bowlers to the cleaners from the word go. Samson got to his century with a straight six off Australian leg-spinner Adam Zampa, clobbered five sixes and eight fours in his 63-ball 103.

Samson signalled his arrival with two consecutive fours of Deepak Chahar, who induced Tare off his first ball to get a thick edge to be caught behind by wicketkeeper Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

Cricketing world went in Samson's awe as he plundered his maiden T20 ton.
