Sanju Samson hit IPL-10's first century in Delhi Daredevils' 97-run annihilation of Rising Pune Supergiant, firmly putting behind a domestic season he would like to forget with an innings to remember.
With his 63-ball 102, the 22-year-old wicketkeeper underlined why he is considered talented, as Daredevils notched up a formidable 205 for four after being sent in.
Sanju Samson's last domestic season was marred by disciplinary issues - he had left the team dressing room in the middle of a Ranji Trophy match.
The Kerala Cricket Association (KCA) let him off with a warning for his alleged misconduct with a rider that his father Viswanadh would not "interfere with his son's cricketing activities". An unconditional apology salvaged the situation for the father-son duo.
Sanju Samson became the 12th Indian and 28th batsmen overall to hit a ton in the cash-rich T20 league
