Watch: Sanju Samson salutes fans after his maiden century for Chennai Super Kings

After days of tremendous trolling, Sanju Samson finally answered all the questions with his bat with his maiden century for the franchise. After his long stint with the Rajasthan Royals, the Chennai Super Kings got him through the trade window in exchange for Ravindra Jadeja and Sam Curran. And today, at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium, against the Delhi Capitals, an innings of 115 runs of 56 balls, pretty much stopped all the trolls.

Notably, Sanju has scored three more centuries in the IPL, one for Delhi Daredevils (now Delhi Capitals) and two for Rajasthan Royals. And this one for CSK was crucial. He scored a 52-ball century, becoming the first wicketkeeper from CSK to have a century. MS Dhoni who was their long-standing wicketkeeper for years, had his highest score of 84*.

The Kerala-born keeper's knock was decorated with 14–15 fours and 3–4 sixes. He even had a 113-run partnership with Ayush Mhatre. However, he retired, letting in Shivam Dube for a late over surge.

After scoring the century, Sanju pulled out his helmet, raised his bat, and even saluted the CSK fans, before walking back to his crease.
