After being away from wicketkeeping for three matches of IPL 2025, Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson has now moved the BCCI’s Center of Excellence (CEO). Due to not being fully fit, he had to leave the responsibility of wicketkeeping and captaincy for the first three matches.
When this incident happened, Ryan Parag took over the captaincy. Samson has now recovered from his injury to a great extent and has decided to go to the Center of Excellence to assess his fitness and take approval for wicketkeeping.
Sanju Samson will return
In this connection, Samson reached Bangalore from Guwahati on Monday. If he gets approval here, he will not only be seen wicketkeeping in the upcoming matches, but will also once again take over the captaincy of Rajasthan Royals. According to media reports, his thumb injury is completely cured and he is feeling fully fit to handle the responsibility of wicketkeeping. The source said, “He will ask for permission to do wicketkeeping in the upcoming IPL matches and it is expected that he will also be seen as captain in the match against Punjab Kings on April 5.”
This has been the performance of Sanju Samson.
Playing as a batsman in this IPL season, Samson has scored 99 runs in 3 matches so far. He scored a stormy innings of 66 runs off 37 balls in the first match against Sunrisers Hyderabad, including 7 fours and 4 sixes. He then played matches against Kolkata Knight Riders and Chennai Super Kings and scored 13 and 20 runs respectively. In his absence, Dhruv Juril took wicketkeeping for the team.
This is the performance of Rajasthan team
The Royals started a poor start of the season, losing both of their initial matches against Hyderabad and Kolkata. But the team returned to the last match against Chennai and won the exciting match by 6 runs. In this match, Nitish Rana played a brilliant innings of 81 runs for the team. He was also declared a Player of the Match for the winning innings. The team now has to play their next match against Punjab Kings on 5 April.
