Sanju Samson has suffered a major setback. In the fifth T20 match against England, a sharp bouncer from Jofra Archer has caused a serious injury to his index finger. Physio was called on the field itself, which proves that this is not an ordinary injury.
According to medical reports, Sanju Samson will have to stay out of the field for 6 weeks. This will not only affect his IPL 2025 participation, but will also be a big blow to Rajasthan Royals. Also, he will not be able to play in Kerala’s Ranji Trophy quarter-final match.
After a brilliant performance in the South Africa series, Sanju’s bat did not speak completely in the T20 series against England. His scores were 26, 5, 3, 1, and 16, which raises questions about his current form. England’s fast bowlers completely troubled him.
Rajasthan Royals management took immediate action and replaced Sanju with Dhruv Jurel as keeper. After the injury, doctors have confirmed a fracture in the index finger, which has caused concern in the team.
Cricket experts believe that this injury can prove to be a turning point in Sanju’s career.
A poor performance from before and now this serious injury is raising questions about his future. However, Sanju’s fans hope that he will recover and return as soon as possible.
