In a recent development, Rajasthan Royals (RR) skipper Sanju Samson is likely to play only as a batter in a few matches of the much-awaited IPL 2025. The Rajasthan Royals management and head coach Rahul Dravid have backed a young all-rounder to lead the team in his absence.
Sanju Samson suffered a finger injury while batting during India's fifth and final T20I against England in early February. The injury prevented him from keeping wickets in that match. The right-handed batter underwent surgery and recently completed his rehabilitation at the Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru.
