Former Indian cricketer Irfan Pathan commends Sanju Samson for his exceptional form in the recent Chennai Super Kings’ victory against Delhi Capitals. Samson, who initially struggled in the IPL 2026, showcased a remarkable turnaround by becoming the team’s top scorer with an unbeaten 87 runs and a crucial partnership with Kartik Sharma.
Pathan highlighted Samson’s strategic game awareness, emphasizing his ability to target specific bowlers effectively. He praised Samson for taking responsibility in finishing games and lauded his consistent performance on challenging pitches.
Additionally, Pathan praised Kartik Sharma for his impressive batting skills, especially his dominance against spin bowlers. He noted Sharma’s ability to read variations well, including picking googlies early, which poses a challenge for bowlers in the middle overs.
