Samson reached three figures off the final delivery of the innings, finishing with a boundary off Krish Bhagat\u2019s bowling. The knock marked his second hundred of the season, his second for Chennai, and the fifth century of his IPL career. It also became the first individual century by a CSK batter against Mumbai Indians in IPL history. With the feat, Samson moved level with Rohit Sharma at number two in the list of most T20 hundreds among Indian players.<\/p>\n<h2>Most T20 centuries among Indians<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>9 &#8211; Virat Kohli<\/li>\n<li>9 &#8211; Abhishek Sharma<\/li>\n<li>8 &#8211; Rohit Sharma<\/li>\n<li>8 &#8211; Sanju Samson*<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Most IPL centuries<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>8 &#8211; Virat Kohli<\/li>\n<li>7 &#8211; Jos Buttler<\/li>\n<li>6 &#8211; Chris Gayle<\/li>\n<li>5 &#8211; KL Rahul<\/li>\n<li>5 &#8211; Sanju Samson*<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Samson\u2019s unbeaten 101 steered Chennai Super Kings to 207\/6 against Mumbai Indians in a meeting between the two five-time champions.

His innings came from 54 balls and featured 10 fours and six sixes, with the century serving as his second three-figure score since joining his new franchise, CSK.<\/p>\n<p>For Mumbai Indians, AM Ghazanfar and Ashwani Kumar each took two wickets.
