Big IPL 2025 Sacrifice Announced by Sanju Samson, Who Will Be Changing His Role To...

The possibility of playing as a fielder has been discussed by Sanju Samson, who was signed by RR for Rs 18 crore.In the forthcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) season, Sanju Samson, the captain of the Rajasthan Royals (RR), may relinquish his wicketkeeping responsibilities. After being signed by RR for Rs 18 crore, Samson has hinted at the possibility of switching to fielding and handing up the wicketkeeping duties to young Dhruv Jurel. Samson also disclosed that he spoke with Jurel about the same thing, particularly as the latter was eager to hold onto the wickets following his recent promotion to second-choice Test wicketkeeper for India."We believe that Dhruv Jurel should wear the gloves in the IPL given his current status as a Test wicket-keeper, even though I haven't stated this on air. It was a conversation.

We'll probably be sharing gloves. As a fielder, I have never captained. That could be difficult. "I understand where you are coming from, Dhruv, and I think you should also keep for a few games as the team's leader," I informed him. Nothing should come before the team, but we'll see how we can work it out. Samson stated in a discussion on Ab de Villiers' YouTube channel that "the team should come first and the individual must be given importance."Earlier this year, during the home series against England, Jurel made his Test debut. But now that Rishabh Pant is fully recovered, Jurel has lost his spot to the seasoned player. Jurel was benched for the matches in Adelaide and Brisbane, but both Pant and Jurel participated in the first Test match against Australia in Perth. You can only listen to the newest music on JioSaavn.com. Unless there is an injury, it is unlikely that Jurel would continue to participate in the series.
