Rajasthan Royals (RR) Fast-Bouler Sandeep Sharma has been excluded for the rest of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 after suffering from fracture in his finger. The franchise said that its management is actively working on finalizing their replacement, the post that an official announcement will be made. Sandeep was hurt during RR’s struggle against Gujarat Titans (GT), which he won by eight wickets at Sawai Mansingh Stadium on Monday. A statement by RR said in a statement on Thursday, “He showed great bravery to continue bowling with this injury in the last match, and everyone in the franchise wishes him for complete and early recovery.”
Despite lifting the injury, Sandeep completed his four-over spell, with his figures 1-33. He also had the best economy rate for any RR bowler on that day – 8.25 – while off -Spin All -Nounder Washington was also picking up the wicket of Sundar.
In 10 sports, Sandeep, who was maintained by the franchise for INR 4 crore last year, chose nine wickets of 40.11 and the rate of economy of 9.89, their primary responsibilities were bowled in the overs of mid and death.
For the match against Mumbai Indians (MI) at Sawai Mansingh Stadium on Thursday, RR planted Pesar Akash Madhwal, who is making his debut for the franchise, which is also the first game of the ongoing tournament. Sandeep’s injury also increases problems for RR, who already has regular Captain Sanju Samson, who is on the edge due to a side strain injury.
RR is also remembering the services of leg-spinner Vanindu Hasranga for the game against MI due to an swallow.
RR is currently at the eighth position in the points table with six points out of ten matches and needs to win all your remaining games to give a chance to enter the playoffs. But it is easier than against MI, which is at the streak of five matches winning. A win for MI on Thursday will help them change the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) at the top of the points table.
