Rajasthan Royals worried about injury to star player

New Delhi: Rajasthan Royals may have to face a serious problem before the start of IPL 2026. The team’s leading all-rounder Sam Curran may be out of the entire season due to injury. According to reports, he is suffering from a groin injury, which has raised serious questions over his fitness.

Sam Curran last played for England during the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 on March 5. After this, concerns about his fitness had increased. Now this injury has become a matter of big concern for Rajasthan, because the team expected all-rounder performance from him.

discussion about change

Curran was included in the team through an important trade last year. In this trade, Ravindra Jadeja and Sam Curran came to Rajasthan Royals, while Sanju Samson joined Chennai Super Kings. There were many discussions regarding this change.

Sam Curran’s Experience

Sam Curran has a lot of experience in IPL. He started his career with Punjab Kings and later also played for Chennai Super Kings. However, his performance last season could not live up to expectations. In limited matches, he could neither perform well with the bat nor be effective in bowling. Sam Curran scored only 114 runs in 5 matches and took only one wicket.

Challenge before Rajasthan Royals

Now in the absence of Karan, the challenge of balancing has arisen before Rajasthan Royals. The team has experienced players like Ravindra Jadeja, while young all-rounders like Donovan Ferreira are also present as options. At present, the team has not officially announced any replacement for Karan. It will be interesting to see how Rajasthan fills this gap and whether any new player takes advantage of this opportunity.
