A Breakdown of Sanju Samson's IPL 100s

Sanju Samson has long been regarded as one of the most aesthetically pleasing and destructive top-order batters in T20 cricket. Here is a look back at his previous hundreds:

119 vs Punjab Kings (IPL 2021) - His Highest IPL Score

Samson's personal best of 119 off 63 balls came in his debut match as the captain of the Rajasthan Royals. Chasing a mammoth 222-run target set by KL Rahul's Punjab Kings at the Wankhede Stadium, Samson almost pulled off a miraculous heist. He hit 12 fours and 7 towering sixes to single-handedly drag his team to the finish line, though RR heartbreakingly fell short by just 4 runs on the final balls.

102* vs Sunrisers Hyderabad (IPL 2019)

Batting first in Hyderabad against a fierce SRH bowling lineup, Samson anchored the innings perfectly before launching an absolute onslaught in the death overs. Scoring an unbeaten 102 off 55 balls*, he raced to his century with 10 boundaries and 4 maximums. Despite putting up 198 on the board, SRH managed to chase the target down with an over to spare.

102 vs Rising Pune Supergiant (IPL 2017)

Samson's maiden IPL century came in Delhi Daredevils (now Delhi Capitals) colors. Stepping in early after the loss of a quick wicket, Samson decimated the RPS bowling attack, registering 102 off 63 balls (8 fours, 5 sixes). His match-winning knock propelled Delhi to a massive 205/4, eventually securing a dominant 97-run victory.

115* vs Delhi Capitals (IPL 2026)

Fast forward to April 11, 2026, and Samson has rewritten the script in Chennai. After a slightly slow start to his IPL 2026 campaign with CSK, he has found his rhythm in a terrifying fashion against his former franchise, the Delhi Capitals.

Capitalizing on DC's missed fielding chances including a dropped catch by Pathum Nissanka, Samson has torn apart bowlers like Mukesh Kumar, T Natarajan, and Kuldeep Yadav. Sanju ended up unbeaten on 115 at the Chepauk, which had 15 fours and 4 sixes.
