Tue Apr 29 19:10:00 UTC 2025: **Rajasthan Royals Captain Sanju Samson to Miss Upcoming IPL Match Due to Injury**
JAIPUR, INDIA – April 29, 2025 – Despite a thrilling victory over the Gujarat Titans, fueled by Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s record-breaking century, the Rajasthan Royals face a setback. Captain Sanju Samson will miss their next IPL 2025 match against the Mumbai Indians due to an abdominal injury.
Suryavanshi, at just [age not specified in text], became the youngest player ever to score an IPL century, achieving the feat in only 35 balls – the second-fastest in IPL history. His performance secured an eight-wicket win for the Royals, their third of the season, placing them eighth in the standings after ten matches.
However, Samson’s injury casts a shadow over the team’s success. The injury has sidelined him for the Royals’ last three matches, limiting his participation this season to seven games and a total of 224 runs, including one fifty. Samson, retained by the Royals for a hefty ₹18 crore before the 2025 mega auction, is a significant loss to the team. The match against Mumbai Indians will take place in Jaipur on Thursday.
