Sanju Samson also missed the last match for Rajasthan Royals (RR) due to injuries against LSG.
“Samson is currently undergoing recovery and will remain at the team’s home base (Jaipur) with select RR medical staff,” the franchise said in a statement. “As part of his ongoing rehab process, he will not be travelling to Bangalore for the upcoming match against RCB. The team management is monitoring his progress closely and will take a game-by-game approach regarding his return to action.“
How did Sanju Samson get injured?
The Rajasthan Royals captain retired hurt during a promising innings against Delhi Capitals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. Chasing 189, Samson had looked in fluent touch. He appeared set for a big innings until Samson attempted to attack spinner Vijraj Nigam in the sixth over. On the third delivery, he went for a cut, missed the ball, and immediately clutched his ribs. The physio was rushed in, and a brief break followed.
Despite returning to face one more ball, which he hit powerfully to long-off, Samson didn’t attempt a run and signalled toward the dugout, grimacing in pain as he walked off the field. After the match, Samson provided an update, saying the injury felt “alright,” but he wasn’t ready to return to bat. “It feels alright now. We will observe it tomorrow and see how it is,” he said.
Earlier in the season, Samson had been sidelined with a finger fracture, only returning as a wicketkeeper after three matches.
