Jos Buttler suffered a finger injury in the clash against Punjab Kings and is now expected to miss the Delhi Capitals match
Rajasthan Royals will miss the star opener Jos Buttler in their upcoming Indian Premier League 2023 match against Delhi Capitals. Butler had injured his finger while fielding during the match against Punjab Kings on Wednesday. It was the last over of Punjab’s innings when Buttler ran in from the deep and took a sliding catch off Jason Holder but was immediately seen writhing in pain as he walked off the ground with two balls to spare.
He didn’t come to open the innings in the chase as Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson said he was getting stitches on his injured finger.

“Jose was not fit. He had stitches on his finger after the catch,” captain Sanju Samson said during the post-match presentation ceremony.
Now a report in Cricbuzz suggests that RR are waiting for the medical staff’s report to decide on Buttler’s participation in their next match.
Meanwhile, the same report also states that Delhi Capitals will miss the services of Mitchell Marsh next week as he is flying back to Australia for his wedding.
Marsh hasn’t been at his best IPL With back-to-back low scores so far in the first two matches of the season against Lucknow Super Giants and Gujarat Giants.
Battered by poor pace in back-to-back matches and an injured Delhi Capitals batting unit is likely to get some respite when they take on Rajasthan Royals in an IPL match on Saturday afternoon.

Mark Wood and Alzarri Joseph have replaced the likes of Prithvi Shaw and Sarfaraz Khan in DC’s line-up in the first two matches.
And when these talented but under-confident Willow Wilders face an attack of Trent Boult, KM Asif and Jason Holder, they will have to negotiate speeds in the mid-130 kmph which is right up their alley.
However, the finesse and artistry of Ravichandran Ashwin and Yuzvendra Chahal will not be a pleasant proposition on late afternoons and evenings in Guwahati.
