Sanju Samson Doubtful of Captaining Rajasthan Royals Against LSG Amid Rift Reports With Coach Rahul Dravid

Brief by Shorts91NewsDesk / 06:16am on 19 Apr 2025,Saturday Sports

Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson is doubtful for the IPL 2025 match against Lucknow Super Giants due to an abdominal injury sustained against Delhi Capitals. He retired hurt after scoring 31 off 19 balls, and the team awaits scan results to determine his availability. If unfit, Riyan Parag may lead the side again, as he did earlier this season. Speculation about a rift between Samson and coach Rahul Dravid arose after a video showed Samson distancing himself during a Super Over discussion. Dravid dismissed these reports as "baseless," affirming that Samson remains integral to the team. Currently, Rajasthan Royals have won only two out of seven matches, placing them eighth in the standings. (PC: PTI)
