Samson Likely to Return in IPL 2025 for Rajasthan Royals

Regarding Sanju Samson’s injury, a senior source of the Board of Control for Cricket in India said to NDTV – Samson has a fracture in the index finger of the right hand. It will take him five to six weeks to start proper net practice.

Therefore, he is unlikely to play the Ranji Trophy quarter-final for Kerala (vs Jammu and Kashmir) in Pune from February 8-12. In all likelihood, he will now return for Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2025.

Although, due to this injury, he has been ruled out of the upcoming phase of Ranji Trophy, but Team India does not have to play any T20 match in the next 6 months. This means that Sanju will not miss playing any international match due to this injury.

Well, if we give you information about Sanju’s performance against England, then he could not show anything special and was seen doing the same thing again and again against short bowling. Sanju was able to score only 51 runs in the five T20 matches played against England.
