Sanju Samson’s string of low scores continues as he once again got out cheaply in the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) vs Chennai Super Kings (CSK) clash. After hitting a six, he became the victim of Jacob Duffy at the score of just 9 runs. This is his third low score after joining a new franchise in IPL. His start in the tournament has not been good.
While chasing the target of 251, Sanju Samson hit a loose shot away from his body and reached Devdutt Padikkal at slip. Duffy was thrilled after taking the wicket, while Samson and his fans in yellow were not happy. CSK had lost three wickets, and they had not even completed three overs yet and the score fell to 30/3.
Sanju Samson failed to impress
Sanju Samson hasn’t had the best of starts in CSK colors as he now has three single-digit scores in the first three matches of IPL 2026. Samson scored 6,7,9 runs in the first three matches; This is a worrying sign for CSK. The wicketkeeper batsman who was the player of the tournament in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup has failed.
Sanju Samson was the POTT in the T20 World Cup after his amazing batting for the India national cricket team. He scored 321 runs in only five innings; However, he has not released any form in IPL 2026. He was traded to Rajasthan Royals for Rs 18 crore in exchange for Ravindra Jadeja and Sam Curran.
CSK has now lost the wickets of Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ayush Mhatre and Sanju Samson. The Yellow Army’s top three were to get the start in the chase; However, they have all returned to the pavilion now. Chasing such a huge target, CSK finds itself in deep waters.
