Massive boost for Rajasthan Royals as star Indian duo joins squad ahead of IPL 2025
Cricket, Sports: India’s batting duo of Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sanju Samson are two first-team players and key to Rajasthan Royals' success in the impending season.
In a massive boost to the Rajasthan Royals, the Indian batting duo of Yashasvi Jaiswal and captain Sanju Samson have recovered from their respective injuries, making themselves available for the side’s curtain raiser against SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) on Sunday (Mar 23) in IPL 2025. Jaiswal and Samson are the first team players and key to the side’s success in the impending season.
While the attacking opener Jaiswal has recovered from his ankle injury, having already joined the pre-season camp, the skipper has also recovered from a broken index finger he suffered during England T20Is earlier and is likely to re-link with his IPL 2025 squad on Monday (Mar 17) after receiving the green signal from BCCI’s Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru.
"Samson is joining RR on Monday. He has cleared his fitness test for his batting at the BCCI's CoE, and now the medical team at the CoE is taking his wicket-keeping test as well before releasing him. Regarding Jaiswal, there was a small tear in his ankle. He underwent extensive rehab at BCCI's CoE before being released for the IPL," a source close to the information said in a chat with the Times of India (TOI).
Rajasthan Royals posted Jaiswal’s welcome video on its X handle.
