Sanju Samson gears up for the upcoming Asia Cup 2025 with an intense training session alongside Kerala Police athletes, aiming to bounce back from recent form struggles and contribute strongly to Team India’s campaign.
Highlights:
Team India batter Sanju Samson has stepped up his preparations for the Asia Cup 2025, set to begin on September 9 in the UAE, by training alongside Kerala Police athletes at the Chandrasekharan Nair Stadium. The 30-year-old shared a snapshot on Instagram with the caption, “Training with Kerala police athletes…not easy.” In IPL 2025, injuries restricted him to nine games for Rajasthan Royals, where he amassed 285 runs at an average of 35.62 and a strike rate of 140.39, including a half-century.
The Rajasthan Royals had a challenging season, ending up ninth on the points table. Meanwhile, Samson’s recent international performance came under pressure, as he scored only 51 runs across five innings in the T20I series against England earlier this year, with a top score of 26.
Placed in Group A alongside Pakistan, Oman, and UAE, India will be counting on Samson’s experience and attacking prowess to make an impact in the Asia Cup. His rigorous training indicates a determined push to return to form and deliver on the big stage.
