During the IPL match against Gujarat Titans at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, Sanju Samson became the fastest Indian batter to reach 5000 runs in the Indian Premier League, achieving the milestone in just 3555 balls. This remarkable feat places him as the 10th player in IPL history to reach this landmark and the third-fastest overall, behind AB de Villiers and David Warner. Samson surpassed previous record holders Suresh Raina, KL Rahul, and MS Dhoni in the process. Despite his achievement, Samson's innings was short-lived as he scored only 11 runs before being dismissed by Kagiso Rabada. Earlier in the season, he scored two centuries, including a recent century against Mumbai Indians, bringing his T20 century total to eight, second only to Virat Kohli and Abhishek Sharma, who both have nine centuries. This season, he has accumulated 298 runs over eight matches for Chennai Super Kings, with an impressive average of 59.60 and a strike rate of 172.2.
