How Long Will Rajasthan Royals Miss Captain Sanju Samson in IPL 2025? - Fairplay

Sanju Samson IPL 2025 Rajasthan Royals Captaincy

The Rajasthan Royals (RR) are set to begin their IPL 2025 campaign without their regular captain, Sanju Samson. Samson, who suffered a finger injury during India's T20I series against England in February, underwent surgery and has been cleared to bat. However, he has not yet received clearance for wicketkeeping duties, limiting his participation to batting only. ​

Riyan Parag Steps in as Captain

In Samson's absence, young all-rounder Riyan Parag will lead the team for the first three matches of the season. Parag, who has been with RR since 2019, is one of the youngest captains in IPL history. He has shown leadership skills in domestic cricket and is expected to bring fresh energy to the role. ​

Samson's Return Timeline

Rajasthan Royals have not specified an exact date for Samson's return as captain. The team is closely monitoring his recovery, and his return will depend on his readiness to resume wicketkeeping duties. Once fully fit, Samson is expected to reassume his role as captain. ​

Impact on Rajasthan Royals

While Samson's absence is a setback, RR has a strong squad capable of performing well under Parag's leadership. The team is confident that the young captain will steer them through the initial matches and set a positive tone for the rest of the season. Homepage: Fairplay Sports​
