Sanju Samson KCL 2025 Stats before Asia Cup: Runs, Highest Scores, Sixes; Updated before Thrissur Titans Match on August 26

Sanju Samson is playing in the Kerala Cricket League 2025 for Kochi Blue Tigers. The India star was bought for a record Rs 26.80 lakh in the auction and has played a key part for his team in the tournament.

Season 2 of the Kerala Cricket League started in Thiruvananthapuram from August 21 and Sanju is the flagship star of the tournament.

Sanju has opened the innings in this KCL match, marking a strong comeback to the opening role despite team strategies potentially moving him down the order for the Asia Cup due to Shubman Gill's inclusion. In the Asia Cup 2025, Sanju is part of India's squad but may bat in the middle order rather than as an opener, adapting to the team's lineup that includes Gill and Abhishek Sharma at the top.

Sanju also notched up his maiden KCL century in the recent match against Kollam Sailors. The Rajasthan Royals captain is expected to leave the KCL midway for national duty, but the tournament serves as a crucial rehearsal for Sanju ahead of the Asia Cup.
