Sanju Samson played a brilliant innings of 101 not out off just 54 balls to lead Chennai Super Kings to a dominant 103-run victory over Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium. This was Samson’s second century of the season, and it helped CSK post a formidable total of 207 for six.
Akeal Hosein was the star with the ball for CSK, as he picked up four wickets for just 17 runs to dismantle the Mumbai Indians batting line-up. Hosein’s early strikes rattled the Indians, and then Noor Ahmed chipped in with two wickets after the PowerPlay to further dent their hopes of chasing down the target.

With this win, Chennai Super Kings continued their strong start to the season and maintained their position at the top of the table. The victory was a statement of intent from CSK, who look like serious contenders for the title this year.
The match was played on April 23, 2026, and it will be remembered as a memorable one for Sanju Samson, Akeal Hosein, and the rest of the Chennai Super Kings team.
