Rajasthan Royals Predicted XI vs Delhi Capitals, IPL 2023: Who Could Replace Injured Jos Buttler?

Rajasthan Royals face Delhi Capitals in their third IPL 2023 match that will take place at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati on Saturday. RR are likely to miss the services of their star opener Jos Buttler in the match against Delhi Capitals on Saturday. Buttler had got stitches on the little finger of his left hand after sustaining a bruise while taking a catch in the last game that was against Punjab Kings. Even if RR play without him, they look a formidable side with stars like Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sanju Samson, Dhruv Jurel, Riyan Parag, and Shimron Hetmyer to take the batting responsibility.

Delhi Capitals Predicted XI vs Rajasthan Royals, IPL 2023: Who Will Take Mitchell Marsh's Place?

Eyeing their first win of the season, the David Warner-led Delhi Capitals take on Sanju Samson's Rajasthan Royals in an Indian Premier League (IPL) match at the Barsapara Stadium in Guwahati. DC lost to Lucknow Super Giants by 50 runs in their first game, before going down against Gujarat Titans at home earlier this week. Already without the services of Rishabh Pant, DC will miss the presence of star all-rounder Mitchell Marsh who has flown back to Australia for a week for his wedding. DC's batting has been battered and bruised by raw pace in back-to-back matches, which is likely to find some breathing space on a featherbed in Guwahati.

Delhi Capitals, already reeling at the bottom half of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 standings, are set to lose overseas star Mitchell Marsh for a few games. In an update, the franchise's bowling coach James Hopes revealed that Marsh will be returning home to get married. The personal event, however, will not see the Australian star miss the remainder of the campaign. After wrapping up the nuptials, the all-rounder will return to join the Capitals for the 16th edition of the league.

Delhi Capitals Aim For Improved Batting Show Against Rajasthan Royals

Battered and bruised by raw pace in back-to-back matches, Delhi Capitals' batting unit is likely to find some breathing space on a featherbed when the side takes on Rajasthan Royals in an afternoon IPL match, on Saturday. Mark Wood and Alzarri Joseph have scarred the likes of Prithvi Shaw and Sarfaraz Khan in DC's line-up in the first two games. And when these talented but low on confidence willow wielders face an attack comprising Trent Boult, KM Asif and Jason Holder, they would have to negotiate speed in mid 130 kmph, which is right up their alley.

The struggles of Prithvi Shaw and Sarfaraz Khan against top quality pace attack has been the talking point in Delhi Capitals' crushing defeats so far, but bowling coach Ajit Agarkar finds it unfair to single out any player when the failure has been a collective one. Lucknow Super Giants beat DC by 50 runs in their first game before Gujarat Titans on Tuesday comfortably romped home by six wickets with 11 balls to spare.

Gujarat Titans had yet another memorable night as they defeated Delhi Capitals in their IPL 2023 match on Tuesday. Playing at Arun Jaitely Stadium in Delhi, the defending champions restricted the Capitals at 162/8 and then chased down the target with six wickets and 11 balls remaining.
