In the IPL 2023, the Rajasthan Royals faced off against the Delhi Capitals in Guwahati, resulting in a massive victory for the Royals. The Capitals are struggling with two losses in their first two games and the absence of Rishabh Pant, who has been their batting talisman in recent seasons. Despite David Warner’s performance, the batting line-up hasn’t clicked, and the middle-order was undone by the raw pace of Mohammed Shami and Alzarri Joseph.
Batting order woes for Rajasthan Royals
On the other hand, Rajasthan Royals are struggling with their batting order, despite scoring over 190 in their last game against PBKS. The problem is where to play Devdutt Padikkal, who had success as an opener at RCB but has struggled at No. 4 with RR. If he moves up the order, it would force a significant rejig of the batting, including that of an in-form Yashasvi Jaiswal.
Jaiswal and Buttler shine in Royals’ victory with Boult taking three wickets
In the match between these two teams, Royals’ Yashasvi Jaiswal and Jos Buttler bashed their way to a 98-run opening stand, with Jaiswal hitting five fours off the first over. Buttler also went on to score an impressive 79. In response, Capitals were bowled out for 142, with Trent Boult picking up three wickets.
This victory is crucial for Rajasthan Royals, who had lost their first two games. The team’s batting order is still a concern, but with this win, they have some breathing space to make the necessary changes. The Capitals, on the other hand, are in a dire situation, having lost three games in a row. It remains to be seen if they can turn things around in their upcoming games
