Wankhede Humiliation: Sanju Samson’s Century Crushes MI as CSK Secure Record 103-Run Win

IPL 2026 Match 33: Sanju Samson's Masterclass Leads CSK to Historic 103-Run Rout of MI

In a record-breaking "El Clasico" at the Wankhede Stadium, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) registered their largest-ever victory over Mumbai Indians (MI) by runs. Driven by a sensational unbeaten century from Sanju Samson and a lethal bowling spell by Akeal Hosein, CSK dismantled the home side, handing them their heaviest defeat in IPL history.

Match Summary: The Samson Show

After being put into bat by Hardik Pandya, CSK posted a formidable 207/6. The innings was anchored by Sanju Samson, who played a lone hand of brilliance, smashing 101 off just 54 balls* (including 10 fours and 6 sixes). Despite wickets falling around him, Samson’s acceleration in the death overs pushed CSK past the 200-run mark.

Mumbai’s chase never found momentum as they were rattled by the CSK spinners. Akeal Hosein led the destruction with a career-best 4/17, effectively ending the contest by the 13th over. Mumbai was eventually bundled out for a mere 104 in 19 overs.
