Rajasthan Royals have announced that their captain, Sanju Samson, will not be traveling to Bengaluru for their upcoming match against RCB. Samson is currently sidelined due to an abdominal injury and has been out of action since the match against DC on April 16. In his absence, 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi made his debut in the IPL and opened the innings with Yashasvi Jaiswal.
The team management has stated that Samson will remain at the team’s home base with medical staff members as he continues his recovery process. They are closely monitoring his progress and will take a game-by-game approach regarding his return to action. Rajasthan Royals are in a challenging position in the IPL 2025 season, currently on a four-match winless streak and sitting at the eighth position in the standings.
RCB, their upcoming opponents, are third in the standings and are coming off a victory against PBKS. The absence of Samson poses a significant challenge for Rajasthan Royals as they look to turn their campaign around and secure crucial points in the tournament.
