GT vs CSK IPL 2026: Samson leaves the field with injury against Gujarat Titans
Chennai Super Kings wicket keeper Sanju Samson walked off the field against Gujarat Titans on Thursday after being hit on his left hand.
The incident took place in the second over of the first innings when Spencer Johnson’s wide delivery down leg side swung to the left in the last minute. Samson, who had to adjust to the moving delivery in the blink eye, got hit on his left glove and the ball went to the boundary.
Samson was seen holding his hand in pain and signalling to the physio for treatment and after a consultation, he walked off the field. Urvil Patel took over as the wicket keeper after Samson left the field.
The extent of the injury is currently unknown and CSK will hope Samson, its best batter this season, will be fit enough to come out to bat in the second innings.
