Sanju Samson returns to Kerala Cricket with record-breaking KCL signing

This will be Samson’s first competitive appearance since the conclusion of a disappointing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, in which he scored 285 runs in nine matches at an average of 35.62 and a strike rate of over 140, with a half-century to his name. His team finished at number nine, winning just four and losing 10 and failing to finish their games well. Samson missed a chunk of the season due to a side strain.
