Sanju Samson, CSK, IPL 2026,

Sanju Samson scored his first IPL century in the 2017 season.

Sanju Samson has been one of the best wicket-keeper batsmen to have played in Indian Premier League (IPL). The right-handed batter made his debut in the 2013 edition for the Rajasthan Royals (RR).

He later represented Delhi Daredevils (now Delhi Capitals) for two seasons in 2016 and 2017, before reuniting with RR in the 2018 edition. In 2021, he was named as Rajasthan’s captain and led the team to the final in the 2022 edition, where they ended up as runners-up.

Ahead of IPL 2026, Samson commenced a fresh journey in the tournament by pairing up with Chennai Super Kings (CSK), through a landmark trade deal with RR.

The 31-year-old has hammered five centuries in the IPL and also is among the few batters who hold the record for hitting two centuries in a single season.

On that note, below is the complete list of centuries by Sanju Samson in IPL.
