Sanju Samson: I think it looks a good wicket to bat on. Should be a high scoring game. Let's see how we turn up. With the impact rule, we can balance the side both ways. We can kind of manage. Jos is alright. We have a couple of changes. I am a bit confused. I will have to see the sheet as it keeps changing thanks to the impact rule.
David Warner: Don't know what's gonna happen. Hopefully we will start well. Marsh has gone home to get married. All the best to him. There is one forced change with Powell coming in for Marsh. There are changes. Lalit comes in as well for Sarfraz. Manish Pandey comes in.

Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the IPL 2023 game between Rajasthan Royals and Delhi Capitals at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati.
Background
Hello and welcome to ABP's live coverage of IPL 2023. Rajasthan Royals are set to face Delhi Capitals in the first match on a doubleheader Saturday at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati. Sanju Samson’s team suffered a defeat against Punjab Kings and will be looking to seal a win against struggling Delhi.
The only cause of concern for the Royals is star batter Jos Buttler is injured and will likely to miss the match on Saturday. The question is who will open with Yashasvi Jaiswal, though the Rajasthan-based franchise can try either skipper Sanju Samson or Devdutt Padikkal.
Delhi Capitals on the other side are struggling at the moment as they lost two back-to-back games. They need to find a way to tackle Royals’ spinners Yuzvendra Chahal and Ashwin in order to win this game. Prithvi Shaw failed in the last game while Mitchell Marsh also looked weak so far in the IPL 2023. David Warner’s team will be looking to fill all the voids and will look for a win here against Rajasthan Royals.
