Sanju Samson Will Play as Battery in IPL 2025
Sanju Samson will play as a specialist batter for Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2025, following his recovery from finger surgery. Although he has been a key player and captain for the team, he will not take on wicket keeping duties initially due to concerns about his fitness. Instead, DhruvJurel is expected to step in as the primary wicketkeeper.
Samson’s return to the squad comes after a successful rehabilitation period at the National Cricket Academy, where he focused on regaining full fitness. Despite not keeping wickets, his batting prowess remains crucial for the Royals. In a recent practice match, he opened alongside YashasviJaiswal, demonstrating his form with impressive shots, including powerful sixes.
The decision to have Samson play solely as a batter reflects the team’s strategy to manage his recovery while still leveraging his batting skills. With the absence of Jos Buttler from the squad, Samson’s experience and ability to score runs will be vital as the Royals aim for success in the tournament.
As the IPL 2025 season progresses, fans will be keen to see how Samson adapts to this new role and contributes to the team’s performance in upcoming matches.
