Will Sanju Samson Be Ready for IPL 2025?
With IPL 2025 fast approaching, Rajasthan Royals’ captain and star player Sanju Samson’s participation hangs by a thread. A recent finger injury that required surgery has left fans and the team management in suspense. Will Samson be fit in time to lead the Royals, or will his absence shake their chances of clinching their second IPL title?
A Painful Blow: The Injury That Changed Everything
Sanju Samson suffered a painful blow during the 5th T20I against England at the Wankhede Stadium. Facing a blistering delivery from Jofra Archer, the right-hander was struck on his right-hand index finger. Despite receiving on-field treatment and showing resilience by continuing to bat, he was eventually dismissed. Dhruv Jurel had to step in as the wicket-keeper, but little did anyone know the injury was serious enough to require surgery.
38 Days to Recovery: Can Samson Beat the Clock?
Time is ticking for the 30-year-old skipper. With just 38 days remaining until IPL 2025 begins on March 21, Samson faces a race against time to recover and regain match fitness. Adding to the pressure, his availability for Rajasthan Royals’ pre-season training sessions also hangs in the balance. Can Samson bounce back in such a short period, or will the Royals need to rethink their plans?
