Sandeep Sharma getting ruled out of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 comes as a massive blow, especially with the qualification scenario on the line. The pacer has been an integral part of the team for the last few years, and he has been terrific for the team.

In the ongoing IPL 2025, Sandeep Sharma has taken 10 wickets with an economy rate of 8.03 in 10 matches that he has played. His best came in the game against Gujarat Titans, where he picked figures of 2/21.

Rajasthan Royals are having a tough time in the league

This comes as a second injury blow for Rajasthan Royals. Apart from him, Sanju Samson also has been nursing an injury. The right-hander suffered a side strain injury during the game against Delhi Capitals and since then has been out of action, and there is no clarity when he will be back.

Rajasthan Royals are having a tough time in the league. They are reeling at the bottom half of the table, and it's a must-win situation for them in the Indian Premier League. To make it into the playoffs of the tournament, the franchise needs to win all their games.
