Wicketkeeper-batter Sanju Samson finally rediscovered his rhythm and guided Chennai Super Kings to their first win of IPL 2026 with a dominant performance against Delhi Capitals on Saturday.

Former Indian cricket team opener Sadagoppan Ramesh said that Chennai Super Kings head coach Stephen Fleming's success depended completely on his partnership with MS Dhoni.

Fleming defended Samson amid his poor run, stating that the wicketkeeper-batter was still settling into the team.

Dewald Brevis' absence has been a significant blow for the five-time champions as they have lost their first three IPL matches.

CSK have overhauled their squad, with the batting unit dominated by top-order specialists, leaving gaps in the middle and lower order, particularly in the finisher's role.

Sanju Samson, brought in from the Rajasthan Royals ahead of the new season, has failed to fire with the bat in the two outings for Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2026.

MS Dhoni is one of the most influential players in the CSK ranks and is a core member of the leadership group.

Chennai Super Kings head coach Stephen Fleming was quite honest while talking about the side's decision of trading Ravindra Jadeja for Sanju Samson.

Former India captain Sourav Ganguly joined Pretoria Capitals as their new head coach for the upcoming edition of the SA20 league.

Dewald Brevis joined Pretoria Capitals on Tuesday for a SA20 record fee of Rand 16.5 million (approximately Rs 8.31 crore)
