Sanju Samson is a talented cricket player who is also the captain of the Rajasthan Royals team. In the IPL 2025 season, he had a tough time because he was hurt and didn’t play as well as he usually does. He scored 285 runs in nine matches, which is okay but not his best.

Normally, Sanju is known for hitting the ball very powerfully and leading his team well. During early 2025, he hurt his finger while playing a game against England, and then he also hurt his side.

Because of these injuries, he couldn’t play many matches and sometimes only played a little part in the games. Even though he faced these problems, Sanju is planning to get better and is now getting ready for a new cricket league called the Kerala Cricket League (KCL) in 2025.

The Kerala Cricket Association (KCA) confirmed that Sanju signed up for the KCL auction, which means he wants to play there. There are also rumors that he might move to a different IPL team called Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in 2026.

Playing in Kerala’s league shows that Sanju wants to play close to home and prove he is still a great player, hoping to get back into the Indian national team.

This article explains why Sanju is having a tough time in IPL, why he decided to play in the KCL, what this league is all about, and what it means for his future and cricket in Kerala.
