Samson<\/strong> has rejoined his <strong>Indian Premier League (IPL) team<\/strong> after successfully recovering from a <strong>finger surgery<\/strong> he underwent last month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>30-year-old wicketkeeper-batter<\/strong> completed his rehabilitation at the <strong>Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru<\/strong> and participated in the Royals\u2019 first <strong>practice session<\/strong> on Monday ahead of the upcoming <strong>IPL 2025 season.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Injury and Recovery<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Samson suffered the <strong>finger injury<\/strong> after being struck by a <strong>bouncer from Jofra Archer<\/strong> during <strong>India\u2019s five-match T20I series against England.<\/strong> Following the injury, he underwent <strong>surgery to repair the damage.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Having regained full fitness, <strong>Samson\u2019s availability as a wicketkeeper remains uncertain.<\/strong> If he is not ready to take up the gloves immediately, <strong>Dhruv Jurel<\/strong> is expected to step in as the <strong>stand-in wicketkeeper.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Royals\u2019 Practice Session and Team Interactions<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>Rajasthan Royals captain<\/strong> was seen engaging with his teammates, including <strong>India batter Yashasvi

made a <strong>full recovery from a shoulder injury.<\/strong> The injury had previously kept him out of the <strong>T20I series against South Africa and England.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Parag returned to action during the <strong>second phase of the Ranji Trophy<\/strong>, where he impressed by scoring a <strong>half-century<\/strong> and bowling <strong>26 overs against Saurashtra.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With key players regaining fitness, <strong>Rajasthan Royals<\/strong> will look to make a strong start to
