“I passed my fitness test”: Sanju Samson took action to end the RR season in high notes | Cricket News
Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson successfully cleared his fitness test and will return to the team for the rest of the IPL 2025 season. Samson was eliminated due to the ongoing side pressure from Side Rolls in the match against the Delhi Capitals, forcing him to miss several key matches.
His comeback was timely, with the Royals facing the Punjab Kings at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur today on May 18.
“I passed the fitness test so I could play. Yes, I think ‘frustration’ is the right word. It’s very difficult and challenging to watch the game in the hole. I missed a lot of important games. It’s harder mentally. It’s harder mentally. It’s harder mentally. It’s harder mentally. It’s harder mentally. It’s harder mentally and unable to contribute to these things, but these things are a tough cause. Sanju Samson at pre-match press conference
Riyan Parag served as the substitute captain in Samson’s absence. However, the team has struggled in recent games and has been out of the playoffs. Samson’s return is expected to bring much-needed morale boost as the Royals aims to be treble.
Before the injury, Samson performed well, scoring 224 in seven innings with a staggering blow rate of 143.59. In the last two games of the Royals, he was crucial to the leader at the top of the order and field.
The Rajasthan Royals have put the captain back at the helm, starting with a conflict today against Punjab Kings in Jaipur.
Additionally, Jofra Archer chose not to return to the last two games of the season. Not named yet.
