Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson has suffered another injury setback. He retired hurt during their IPL 2025 match against Delhi Capitals after scoring 31 runs off 19 balls. Samson was batting with Yashasvi when he felt pain in his ribs while playing a shot to long off. He didn’t attempt to run and immediately showed signs of discomfort. The Royals’ physio came on to assess the situation and Samson took a tablet during the break, but eventually left the field.
Injury Assessment
The team hasn’t officially commented on the severity of Samson’s injury yet. He had recently recovered from a thumb surgery and was back in action. If the injury isn’t serious, he might return to the field soon. However, a severe injury could rule him out for the rest of the season. The match against Delhi Capitals was intense, with the Capitals posting 188 runs in their innings. Rajasthan Royals matched the score in 20 overs, and the game went into a super over.
- Samson scored 31 runs off 19 balls, including 2 fours and 3 sixes.
- Rajathan Royaals’ physio assessed Samson’s injury on the field.
