"IPL 2023: Sanju was dropped as player in newzeland when dhawan was captain can sanju prove it wrong



 Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) are scheduled to face each other at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati, marking the first occasion that the Indian Premier League (IPL) will be played in north-east India. The Royals were supposed to play in Guwahati in 2020, but the COVID-19 pandemic caused those plans to be canceled.

Prior to the game, Punjab Kings are still missing English cricketer Liam Livingstone, who is waiting for clearance from the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) to confirm his fitness and has not yet arrived in India. Nevertheless, Kagiso Rabada has joined the team following South Africa's ODI series against the Netherlands on April 2 and may replace Nathan Ellis in the XI if he is prepared to play. Meanwhile, the only uncertainty for the Royals is the fitness of West Indies fast bowler Obed McCoy, who is currently recovering from an injury.

Both teams enter the match on the back of impressive victories in their first games of the IPL 2023 season. Punjab Kings, captained by Shikhar Dhawan, triumphed over Kolkata Knight Riders in their opening match despite missing key players Livingstone and Rabada. The Royals, on the other hand, will aim to replicate their attacking top-order batting, incisive new-ball performance, and tight spin bowling that helped them defeat the Sunrisers Hyderabad in their first game. Currently, both teams have won their opening fixtures and scored highly, but the Royals are ranked higher on the points table at number two owing to their superior Net Run Rate, while Punjab Kings are at number five.

Bhanuka Rajapaksa played an exceptional role for Punjab Kings, scoring a noteworthy half-century that helped the team to post a competitive total. Arshdeep Singh also played a vital role in the team's victory by taking three wickets. In contrast, Rajasthan Royals' top-order batting was the main highlight of their victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad. Jos Buttler, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Sanju Samson all scored impressive scores of over 50 in the match. Yuzvendra Chahal also made a significant contribution to RR's win by picking up five wickets in the game.

The Barsapara Stadium located in Guwahati has developed a reputation as a favourable ground for batsmen due to its firm pitch providing consistent bounce, enabling batters to hit large shots. In recent games, bowlers have found it difficult to control the scoring rate, and this trend is likely to continue in the upcoming match. The pitch primarily features a hard deck, which allows batsmen to rely on the bounce and hit the ball powerfully. As a result, the match between the Royals and Kings is anticipated to be a high-scoring contest, with both teams expected to register substantial totals.

In the opening ODI of the series against New Zealand in Auckland, Sanju Samson managed to score a decent 36 runs. However, he was ruled out of the second match at Hamilton on Sunday. As news of his absence spread, fans expressed their frustration on social media. In the second match, all-rounder Deepak Hooda replaced Samson, while Deepak Chahar came in for Shardul Thakur. Shikar dhawan was the captain of the Indian Team then

Rajasthan Royals: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Jos Buttler, Sanju Samson (wk/c), Devdutt Padikkal, Shimron Hetmyer, Riyan Parag, Jason Holder, Ravichandran Ashwin, Trent Boult, KM Asif, Yuzvendra Chahal
