In IPL 2025, the Rajasthan Royals team seems to be in this difficult situation. This team has suffered defeat in their last four matches and along with this, captain Sanju Samson is also sitting on the bench due to injury. Samson was out of the match recently during a defeat to Lucknow Super Giants.
Samson suffered a stomach injury during the match against Delhi Capitals earlier this month. He has not even gone to Bengaluru for his upcoming match against Royal Challengers Bangalore on Thursday, 24 April. Head coach Rahul Dravid told about the decision to keep Samson out of the team traveling and gave updates on the recovery timeline of the wicketkeeper-batsman.
Dravid told the press in Bengaluru on Wednesday, “I think Sanju had some trouble in the match against Delhi (Capitals) and he could not play in the last match or this match. We can try to bring back. We are monitoring their recovering day by day. “
Dravid admitted that it is too early to guess when Samson would return to Royals. Rajasthan will face RCB in Bengaluru on Thursday and then he will return to Jaipur for domestic matches against Gujarat Titans (28 April) and Mumbai Indians (May 1). After this, he will play a match in Kolkata on 4 May and then take a nine -day break.
