The runners-up of last season Rajasthan Royals will start their 2023 Indian Premier League campaign against Sunrisers Hyderabad on April 2 in Hyderabad. Sanju Samson and Co. played quality cricket last season and reached the final of the tournament where they suffered a crushing defeat against Gujarat Titans. However, the inaugural champions looked like a rejuvenated side in 2022 after several years of failures they were one of the favourites last season and it will be the case once again in IPL 2023.
It all started when RR management played it boldly and handed the captaincy to Sanju Samson. The move paid dividends as under a new skipper and an iconic Director of Cricket Kumar Sangakkara they looked like a rejuvenated unit.
Rajasthan retained their core players and bought some valuable players in the IPL 2023 mini-auction with the likes of Jason Holder, Adam Zampa and Joe Root.
Jos Buttler and Sanju Samson will be once again the key players for the franchise as they will rely heavily on the duo in the batting department.
Meanwhile, Rajasthan Royals on Friday said that their 26-year-old pacer Prasidh Krishna will miss the 2023 season of the IPL owing to a stress fracture surgery, and the rehabilitation process that will follow.
Prasidh has suffered a lumbar stress fracture and has been advised surgery which will mean he needs more time to recover and get back to competitive cricket.
