Sanju Samson’s Historic In a night that will be remembered as the night of Chepauk, Sanju Samson performed a stunning performance that melded record redemption and pure class. The CSK star hit his unbeaten record of 115 off 56 balls, which was his fourth century in the IPL and a resounding return to the form he was in.

Samson Joins Elite 400 Sixes Club

Four towering sixes were a part of this game. Samson crossed the 400-twentieth-century mark (401), becoming the only 4th Indian to accomplish this feat. He is now a legend, such as

• Rohit Sharma – 554 sixes

• Virat Kohli – 440 sixes

• Suryakumar Yadav – 421 sixes

What is it that makes Samson so than the rest? He is the highest six-hitting percentage (1.26 per game) among all four — which is a testament to his incredible impact during T20 cricket.

• 115 runs (56 balls)*

• 11 fours & 4 sixes

He took on both spin and spin easily:

• Vs Pace: 84 runs (39 balls), SR 215.4

• Vs Spin: 31 runs (17 balls), SR 182.3

This match showed why he’s still one of the most dangerous Indian T20 batters.
