Sanju Samson Injury Update: Likely to Miss RR’s IPL 2025 Clash Against Mumbai Indians on May 1

Sanju Samson's injury worries continue to trouble Rajasthan Royals (RR) as they move ahead in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. The concern came just after RR pulled off a stunning eight-wicket win over Gujarat Titans (GT), with young Vaibhav Suryavanshi smashing a record-breaking century to help chase down a 210-run target with 25 balls remaining a much-needed boost for their season.

Rajasthan Royals (RR) might have to play without their captain Sanju Samson in their next match against Mumbai Indians (MI) on May 1 at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. With his injury still bothering him, Samson is likely to miss the game, which could be a setback for RR just after their morale-boosting win over Gujarat Titans.

Sanju Samson picked up an abdominal injury during Rajasthan Royals’ (RR) Super Over defeat to Delhi Capitals on April 16, and the issue has kept him out of action since. The RR skipper has missed three crucial matches against Lucknow Super Giants, Royal Challengers Bengaluru, and Gujarat Titans—during a key phase of the season. His absence has been a concern for the team, especially as they fight to stay in the playoff race.

Samson is still recovering, and RR will take a final call on his availability for the upcoming clash against Mumbai Indians on May 1 in Jaipur after a fitness test on April 30. The team management remains hopeful, but his chances of returning depend entirely on whether he clears the test and is deemed match-ready.
