Sanju Samson became the 10th player to complete 5000 runs in IPL cricket in Chennai Super Kings’ match against Gujarat Titans at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on April 26.
Samson reached the landmark with a six against Kagiso Rabada in the second over of the match. Rabada would later dismiss him for 11 from 15 balls.
The 31-year-old completed the milestone in 185 matches for three franchises — Rajasthan Royals, Delhi Daredevils, and Chennai Super Kings — and five centuries. He has previously captained RR as well.

Max Arfsten scored in the fifth minute and Patrick Schulte made three saves to help the Columbus Crew defeat the visiting Philadelphia Union 2-0 on Saturday.
After Arfsten staked the Crew (3-4-3, 12 points) to the lead, an own goal by Union defender Nathan Harriel in the third minute of first-half stoppage time provided the final margin.
The Union (1-7-2, 5 points) had a three-match point streak (1-0-2) stopped while the Crew is 3-1-1 in the past five.
Schulte recorded his second shutout of the season, the other coming March 7 in a 0-0 tie with the Chicago Fire.
The first half began and ended calamitously for the Union, which saw midfielder Jesus Bueno leave with a leg injury sustained at the onset of the sequence leading to the second goal.
Arfsten opened the scoring with his sixth goal contribution (three goals, three assists) in the past six matches for the U.S. World Cup hopeful.
Dylan Chambost sent a long ball out of the back which glanced off Union defender Philippe Ndinga to Arfsten down the right flank and he broke free for the score.
Just over a minute later, Arfsten had another break but Andre Blake made the save.
It wasn’t all in favor of the Crew because 10 minutes later, the Union had numbers heading into the final third and Danley Jean Jacques passed to Milan Iloski on his right but his shot pinged the left post.
Philadelphia nearly made it to the half with a one-goal deficit but a potential scoring opportunity quickly turned the other way.
The Union was on the attack after a turnover but a slide tackle by Seko Bangoura dispossessed Bueno, who stayed down with an injury, and the Crew created a counter with Arfsten once again on the run on the right flank before sending a cross to the box.
Harriel’s clearing attempt went off a sliding Blake and the rebound hit Harriel and went into the goal.
Crew defender Mo Farsi entered for Arfsten in the 81st minute for his first appearance since July 6, 2025, after undergoing sports hernia surgery.
Union defender Japhet Sery Larsen was red-carded in the 90+5 minute for preventing a goal-scoring opportunity.

elcome to Sportstar’s live coverage of the IPL 2026 encounter between the Lucknow Super Giants and the Kolkata Knight Riders in Lucknow.
It has been an underwhelming campaign for both teams this season. They occupy the bottom two spots in the IPL 2026 standings. The winner of today’s contest will have the opportunity to go up to eighth place.
Kolkata Knight Riders enters the game on the back of its first win of the season, at home against Rajasthan Royals. LSG, on the other hand, is on a four-match losing streak. Both sides have struggled for top-order runs this season. KKR has opted to play Tim Seifert in place of Finn Allen.
LSG rolled the dice, opening with Ayush Badoni in its last two contests, but the move did not pay much dividend. The team might go back to the settled overseas combination and will hope the middle order can finally come good today.
