Last season's finalist, Rajasthan Royals (RR) will begin their IPL 2023 campaign against the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) on Sunday (April 2) at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium. Just like other venues, Hyderabad will host it's first IPL game since 2019 as COVID pandemic forced the games to take place at selected venues only for the past three seasons.

SRH finished eighth in the IPL standings last season and they will surely look to finish this year on top winning the title. However, the test they face is not easy as Sanju Samson's RR were in the finals last year and have won three out of their last five games against Hyderabad. SRH's permanent skipper Aiden Markram is unavailable for this fixture due to international duty. In his absence, veteran bowler and vice-captain Bhuvneshwar Kumar will lead the side in their first contest of the IPL 2023.
