Can RR Bounce Back Without Sanju Samson in IPL 2025?

Sanju Samson who had already taken on his captaincy roles for RR after the first three games of IPL 2025, is set to miss RR’s match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru, which is a crucial matchup for RR’s IPL 2025 season. Let’s take a look at Can RR Bounce Back Without Sanju Samson in IPL 2025. 

Sanju Samson’s Injury Woes in IPL 2025

Sanju Samson’s IPL 2025 had already had an underwhelming start, after missing out on the first three matches as the captain of the Rajasthan side. Although he was only playing as an Impact player for RR in the first three matches, he later joined in the leading role. He has still only managed to score 224 runs in 7 matches played and at a strike rate of 143.59. 

Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson is sidelined with an abdominal injury, worsening their IPL 2025 campaign. Already on a four-match losing streak, RR sit eighth on the table. Samson initially played as an Impact Player due to a finger issue before suffering a fresh blow vs DC.

How will RR Cope in absence of Sanju Samson?

Riyan Parag had stepped in as captain earlier this season while Sanju Samson recovered from thumb surgery and was temporarily unable to keep wickets. Samson’s current injury opened the door for 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s debut against Lucknow Super Giants, and will probably continue opening for RR in the next few games. 

Struggling with form, RR sit eighth with just two wins from eight matches and next face RCB on April 24 at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, they enter this matchup, hoping to turn around their momentum and gain some points and win in the next few matches to climb up the points table and stay in contention for IPL 2025 playoffs. RR will be hoping to get something positive out of their next matches.
