RR vs DC: Who will replace Buttler and Mitchell Marsh for RR and DC Respectively
RR have a solid option in Joe Root to replace Buttler. Like the wicketkeeper batter, Root can bat up the order and also give Royals a few handy overs of spin in the middle phase of the innings.
Root is yet to make his IPL debut. Apart from the former England captain, the Royals have the explosive option of Donovan Ferreira, leg-spin optiom in Adam Zampa, and pace bowler in Obed McCoy to go with to replace Buttler for the match against DC.
On the other hand the Capitals, they have big-hitting all-rounder Rovman Powell to come to replace Marsh for a few IPL games. DC also have Lungi Ngidi, and Mustafizur Rahman to replace Marsh.
Both players though do not offer batting options as Marsh does. Powell seems likely to replace Marsh, while Root is tipped to finally make his IPL debut in place of Buttler.
Speaking about the Capitals, they are the only team apart from SRH to lose two games on the bounce in IPL 2023 season. DC is still searching for their first win, meanwhile, RR have played two games winning one and losing one against PBKS.
