Rajasthan Royals encountered a shocking defeat against Delhi Capitals in the previous IPL 2025 matches on Wednesday. It was the first IPL match since 2022, when the winner was decided when it was finished. After the losing, RR faced serious criticisms of cricket experts and fans for his weak strategies, which eventually led to his losses. During the match against DC, RR had a big blow because he had to harm the captain Sanju Samson after he was hit on his chest on Vipraj Nigam’s delivery.
RR will now receive the Lucknow Super Giants for their next matches on Saturday, but Samson’s participation is still unclear. During the press conference before the match on Friday, RR head coach Rahul Dravid said that the team expects Samson’s screening results and then the decision on his participation would be made.
“Sanju experienced some pain in the abdomen. So we went for scans. Today we made some screening. We are waiting for the results of these screening. And then, when we get a little clearer around the scans and we will make a forward decision (injury) and we will see what will happen,” he said.
Samson can play against LSG, but he can only play as Impact Sub, which can bring Riyan Parag back as the stand-in captain of RR. Parag directed RR in the first three matches of the season while Samson gets rid of the finger injury.
In addition, Dravid rubbed all reports about all kinds of cracks between franchise and samson. Dravid described all reports as “unquestionably” and claimed that the team was united in the pursuit of playoffs.
Orum I don’t know where these reports come from. Sanju and I are on the same page, Dra Dravid said.
“He’s an integral part of our team. Every decision and discussion is included in the debate. Sometimes, when you lose the games and do not go correctly, we encounter criticism and encounter our performances, but we can’t do anything about these unfounded things. The spirit of the team is really good, I was impressed about how much these guys work.
