The 32nd match of the IPL 2025 will feature the home side, Delhi Capitals up against the Rajasthan Royals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi. The match will pip the RR captain, Sanju Samson against his former IPL side, a franchise where the talented batter made a name for himself.

The IPL 2025 journey has been a topsy-turvy one not only for Samson, but also for the Royals as they are languishing at the 8th position in the points table and lost their last match against RCB. However, the team has a ray of hope against DC as skipper Sanju Samson has a point to prove and here are two key reasons why he could be the match-winner on Wednesday.

Brilliant record at the Arun Jaitley Stadium

Samson has a terrific record at the Arun Jaitley Stadium and it was also his homeground for several years when he used to play for the franchise. He knows the surface on the back of his hands and that could come in handy for the RR captain.

(Samson record at Arun Jaitley Stadium)

In 19 matches, he has 513 runs at the venue and has also racked up 3 fifties at the ground. This is the third most runs he has scored on any ground, apart from Sawai ManSingh Stadium and the Wankhede Stadium.

The flat nature of the Arun Jaitley Stadium will help his batting as Samson loves bat on ball and this is exactly what the pitch will give him.

A point to prove with RR tottering

So far, Samson has got starts in almost all the games, but hasn't delivered the knockout punch in any of the matches. In 6 matches this season, he has 193 runs, with a strike-rate of 140, but there hasn't been a single match-winning knock and this is what samson will look to change against DC.

His team is struggling in points table and the opening batter need to win the game for his side to help their campaign and to also silence his critics. Hence, Samson could use it as a motivation to decimate DC.
