Sanju Samson then didn’t come out to bat, and it was speculated that the batter had suffered some serious injury. But after the match, he provided an update, saying that he was fine but wasn’t ready to bat.
“It feels alright (His injury). I wasn’t just ready to come back and bat. It feels alright now. We will observe it tomorrow and see how it is,” Samson said after the match.
However, him now undergoing scans hints that the injury is much worse than expected. The Rajasthan Royals management would be hoping that the result of the scans comes good; otherwise, it will be a massive blow for the franchise.
