CSK Vs KKR, IPL 2026: Kartik Tyagi Denies Sanju Samson Fifty, Rocks Stumps With Sheer Pace - Watch

Sanju Samson missed out on his half-century by just two runs on Tuesday (April 14, 2026) as Kartik Tyagi bamboozled him with some serious pace in match 22 of Indian Premier League 2026.

Chennai Super Kings (CSK), asked to bat first, had made a blazing start to their innings, amassing 72 runs in the powerplay. While Ayush Mhatre hit a quickfire 17-ball 38, Samson was playing a relatively restrained innings from the other end.

The star CSK wicketkeeper-batter looked set to follow up his unbeaten hundred with another fifty-plus score, smashing Tyagi for six down the ground off the first ball of the 12th over. But the 25-year-old seamer bounced back in style, bowling a full and straight delivery clocking at 148-plus kilometres per hour to beat Samson all ends up.

The stumps were disturbed and the Chennai opener had to walk back for a 32-ball 48. You can watch the video of the six and the brilliant follow-up delivery below:
