'A big joke against quality bowling': Sanju Samson's worst innings continues to disappoint RR fans; netizens roast his dull show
Sanju Samson, the 30-year-old cricketer, played his entire powerplay against RCB and faced 19 balls in the process, but could score only 15 runs. He even failed to strike at 80, and on the other hand, his opening partner, Yashasvi Jaiswal, scored 32 out of 22 balls.
The mega clash between Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) is going on at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. Rajat Patidar won the toss as RCB played in their green jerseys. With RCB's fielding, which has been subpar, Sanju Samson seems to have played one of his worst innings.
Samson, who is known for his fluency on the crease and how easy he looks on the eye, the Rajasthan Royals (RR) captain, can't time the ball right now. Additionally, things got even worse for him on a slow Jaipur wicket against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB).

This is twice as quick as Samson. Fans highly criticise Samson's form in IPL 2025.
