Gujarat Titans pacer Mohammed Siraj struck on the very first ball of the innings, dismissing Chennai Super Kings opener Sanju Samson in Match 66 of IPL 2026 on the Narendra Modi Stadium. Siraj delivered a full ball outside off stump that moved away after pitching.
Samson attempted a drive away from his body but only managed a thick outside edge, which was safely caught by Jos Buttler behind the wickets, leading to a golden duck. You’ll be able to watch the video here:

Ruturaj Gaikwad got here in at No. 3 for Chennai Super Kings and commenced aggressively, but his stay was short as he became Mohammed Siraj’s second wicket after scoring 16 off seven balls within the third over. Siraj struck again in the identical over by dismissing Urvil Patel for a two-ball duck, reducing CSK to 29/3 in 2.4 overs.
On the time of writing, CSK were 31/3 after three overs, needing one other 199 runs to win, with Matthew Short batting on 12 and Kartik Sharma on 2 under mounting pressure early on.
