]IPL 2026: Most Runs & Wickets after Sanju Samson’s century helped Chennai Super Kings beat Mumbai Indians
by K D Mishra
CSK defeated Mumbai Indians by 103 runs in the Wankhede stadium match, which had an effect on the IPL 2026 league table. Sanju Samson was one of the best batsmen in this game. He made 101* runs in just 54 balls, helping the CSK score 207/6 runs. Sanju's good performance in this game will help him to be closer in the Orange Cap competition.
The performance of the Mumbai Indians batsmen during their chase was poor, and they lost by being all out after scoring only 104 runs. This is considered their biggest defeat in the history of IPL. Anshul Kamboj leads the Purple Cap race in this season with great performances from bowlers like Akeal Hosein who picked 4 wickets in this game against the MI.
