Sanju Samson reportedly struggled for fitness during India’s Asia Cup 2025 preparatory camp in Dubai.
India’s preparations for Asia Cup 2025 have gotten off to a false start. Sanju Samson reportedly injured himself on Day 1 of training in Dubai. Samson is in contention to open the innings during the tournament and it is less than ideal start for Gautam Gambhir and captain Suryakumar Yadav.
Injury scare for Sanju Samson?
As per Revsportz, Sanju Samson was less than 100% during India’s training session in Dubai. The Men in Blue landed in UAE to begin their preparations for the Asia Cup 2025. As per the report, Samson was limping while facing throwdowns from the Indian support staff. The Kerala superstar also looked visibly in pain during the session.
India would hope that Sanju’s injury is not too serious. The 30-year-old has three centuries in the last 10 T20Is, forming a strong partnership with Abhishek Sharma. However Shubhman Gill’s return to the side has put his place in the doubt in the XI.
Fortunately, Sanju Samson seemed in better rhythm as the session went on. After sitting out for a couple of hours, the Rajasthan Royals tonked sixes for fun in the nets.
