“He is currently undergoing recovery and will remain at the team’s home base with select RR medical staff. As part of his ongoing rehab process, he will not be travelling to Bangalore for the upcoming match against RCB,” Royals’ statement read.
Samson experienced a bit of pain in the abdominal area during the game against Delhi Capitals and underwent scans. He also missed RR’s home match against Lucknow Super Giants.
In his absence, Riyan Parag will lead the Royals.
For RR’s first three matches of the season, Samson was not allowed to keep wickets as the India international had fractured his right index finger, requiring surgery. This led the franchise to appoint Riyan as stand-in skipper.
So far in the ongoing season, the Kerala batter has scored 224 runs in seven matches, averaging 37.33 and striking at over 140. He has scored one half-century so far.
