RR will be without the services of experienced activists Sanju Samson and Sandeep Sharma
Sanju Samson is unlikely to return to action in the RR’s draw against KKR on Sunday. Riyan Parag and Co. became the second side to be eliminated from the IPL 2025 eliminations earlier this week. RR will seek to make a single change in his game XI and will play for pride against an agitated KKR.

RR does not risk Samson
RR already eliminated from the tournament, the team is unlikely to risk playing Samson. The goalkeeper, who underwent lateral tension earlier, has not yet completely recovered. As a result, RR will stick to the Jaiswal-Suryavanshi opening combo.
Vaibhav, 14, left for a duck with 2 bullets against Mi after marked a century whirlwind. He will seek to put this episode behind when he faces KKR quisters.
There will be again in two of the expensive retention of RR – Jurel and Hetmyer. Although the Batter goalkeeper has somewhat shown any consistency in IPL 2025, Hetmyer has absolutely failed to shoot this season. RR will count on the duo to finish the sleeves for them in a big way.
RR without Sandeep Sharma looks weak
Sandeep was undoubtedly the best RR Indian bowling player in IPL 2025. Unfortunately, a fracture excluded him from the rest of the tournament. Instead of Sharma, RR will now turn into inexperienced Indian Pacers. Jofra Archer will launch the rhythm attack. Meanwhile, the team could try to call on Fazalhaq Farooqi as an impact player.
