Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson will miss his team’s ninth league match of IPL 2025 on Thursday (April 24). The Jaipur-based franchise is set to face Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the 42nd league match of IPL 2025 at M Chinnaswamy Stadium, but Samson will not play in that fixture. According to a report in Sportstar, the 30-year-old wicketkeeper-batter from Kerala is currently undergoing recovery and will not travel to Bengaluru for the upcoming match.
“He is currently undergoing recovery and will remain at the team’s home base with select RR medical staff. As part of his ongoing rehab process, he will not be travelling to Bangalore for the upcoming match against RCB,” the report read.
Samson missed RR’s eighth league match against Lucknow Super Giants on Saturday (April 19) in Jaipur due to an injury which he suffered while playing against Delhi Capitals in the IPL 2025 match on Wednesday (April 16) at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.
In Samson’s absence, Riyan Parag will continue to lead Rajasthan Royals, and the cricketer from Assam would like to help his side snap the losing run of four matches and return to winning ways.
