Kathmandu. Chennai Super Kings, who suffered three consecutive defeats in the ongoing season of the Indian Premier League IPL, registered their first win by defeating Delhi Capitals by 23 runs on Saturday night. Chasing the huge target of 213 runs presented by Chennai in the match at the Chepauk Stadium, Delhi could score only 189 runs after losing all the wickets in 20 overs.
Sanju Samson scored an explosive century for Chennai who lost the toss and batted first. He scored an unbeaten 115 runs off just 56 balls and took the team to a strong total of 212 runs for the loss of 2 wickets.
