Sanju Samson Makes Comeback as Rajasthan Royals Aim for Strong Finish in IPL 2025

Rajasthan Royals' Struggles in IPL 2025

The IPL 2025 season has been challenging for the Rajasthan Royals and their captain, Sanju Samson. After a promising start, the team has been eliminated from playoff contention, and Samson has faced significant setbacks due to injuries. He sustained an injury while batting against Delhi Capitals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, which kept him sidelined until the IPL suspension. Fortunately, the recent break of 8-10 days has allowed him to recover and prepare for the final two matches.

Sanju Samson's Return to the Team

A brief video shared by the Rajasthan Royals on their official X account shows Sanju Samson arriving at the team's hotel, signaling his readiness to resume his role as captain. The Royals are set to face Punjab Kings on May 18, followed by a match against Chennai Super Kings. Samson is eager to assert his leadership and contribute significantly to the team's performance in these concluding games.

Samson's Performance Before Injury

During the initial phase of IPL 2025, Sanju Samson participated in seven matches, accumulating 224 runs with an average exceeding 30 and a strike rate of 140. He started the season strong with a half-century but struggled with consistency. His absence due to injury was felt by the Rajasthan Royals, but now he is back to help the team in their remaining fixtures.
