Sanju Samson Undergoes Surgery, Expected to Be Fit for IPL 2025
Sanju Samson Injury Update: Surgery Done, Set to Return for IPL 2025
The latest Sanju Samson injury update brings a wave of relief for Rajasthan Royals fans. Samson underwent successful finger surgery after being struck by a fiery Jofra Archer delivery during the fifth T20I against England. Although he managed to score 16 off 7 balls, the injury forced him off the field, with Dhruv Jurel taking over wicketkeeping duties.
Quick Recovery Expected Ahead of IPL 2025
Fortunately, the surgery went smoothly. Samson is expected to recover within four weeks, which aligns well with the IPL 2025 start date of March 21–23. This timeline gives Rajasthan Royals enough hope that their captain will be fit and ready to lead from the front.
In addition, early signs from his rehab suggest a steady return to full fitness. That’s good news not just for RR, but for Indian cricket fans too.
Misses Ranji Trophy Knockout for Kerala
Due to this injury, Samson had to sit out Kerala’s Ranji Trophy quarter-final against Jammu & Kashmir. His absence was a setback for the side, but his decision to focus on healing was the right call. After all, long-term fitness takes priority over short-term appearances.
RR and Team India Keeping Close Watch
Rajasthan Royals are counting on Samson’s return to anchor their top and middle-order. His presence has often made a massive difference in crunch moments. Similarly, the Indian team management will also keep a close watch on his fitness as they prepare for international fixtures later this year.
