Rajasthan Royals (RR) captain Sanju Samson looked utterly disappointed after losing his wicket in the IPL 2025 clash against the Punjab Kings (PBKS) in Chandigarh on Saturday, April 5. The right-hander hurled his bat in the air after getting out against the run play as RR lost their first wicket for 89. He walked back after scoring 38 runs off 26 balls, including six boundaries.

The dismissal came in the 11th over of RR’s innings. Lockie Ferguson bowled a fuller-length ball on off-stump. As per Cricbuzz, the Kiwi speedster cloaked it at 144.2 kmph. Samson tried to get underneath it and chip it over the infield. He failed to get the height, and skipper Shreyas Iyer took an easy catch at mid-off. Samson was in sheer disappointment before taking a walk back to the pavilion.
