PL 2026, Sanju Samson vs Kartik Tyagi: In the 22nd match of IPL 2026, Chennai Super Kings’ star opener Sanju Samson once again looked in form, but his innings remained incomplete. Sanju made an aggressive start in the match played against Kolkata Knight Riders. While starting the match, Sanju Samson made his intentions clear by hitting three fours in the first three balls. Sanju, who scored a century in the last match, was looking in the same rhythm in this match also. But a deadly ball from young fast bowler Karthik Tyagi brought a sudden end to his innings.
Karthik Tyagi clean bowled Sanju
In this match, Sanju Samson played a brilliant inning of 48 runs in just 32 balls, which included 4 fours and 3 sixes. But when Sanju was moving towards his half-century, KKR’s young pacer Karthik Tyagi stopped him. Sanju’s bat could not withstand Tyagi’s fast and straight ball with a speed of 148.1 kilometers per hour in the 12th over of the innings. Sanju lost his balance and the ball hit the stumps directly. This proved to be a big wicket for KKR.
This ball of Kartik Tyagi was especially appreciated by the commentator. Sanju tried to play towards square, but due to the speed of the ball, his bat went in the air and the stumps were uprooted. That means Sanju Samson completely failed to understand this ball and lost his pace. The special thing was that Sanju had hit a six against Kartik Tyagi just one ball before getting out. But Karthik Tyagi completed his revenge on the very next ball.
