RR’s Sam Curran doubtful for IPL 2026 with injury

Rajasthan Royals’ Sam Curran is set to miss IPL 2026, starting March 28, after a suspected groin injury during training, leaving the team facing a key setback before the season.

The all-rounder is still under assessment, but early signs are not encouraging. “He is an important player for us, so this is a concern,” a team source said. Another official added, “We are waiting on reports, but it doesn’t look good.”

Curran’s absence could hurt RR’s balance, given his role with bat and ball. “Replacing a player like him won’t be easy,” a coach admitted.
