Opening the innings, Jos Buttler got out to a Marvelous delivery by Rashid Khan at a score of 5 runs.
"Feels good to score an IPL hundred, but this is just the start of the tournament and I got to stay grounded and do what the team wants. The pitch was a bit slow to start with, but with time it got easy. I think we have set a good target with our bowling line-up. But cricket is a funny game, anything can happen, " said Samson after a thunderous century.
