3 franchises whose IPL 2023 campaign could get derailed due to injury issues

Injury issues are common before every IPL season. However, ahead of IPL 2023, we have some popular names who miss the competition. This will severely affect the teams and their campaign could have a lot of issues due to this. On that note, in this article, we take a look at three franchises whose IPL 2023 campaign could get derailed due to injury issues.

1) Mumbai Indians

Jasprit Bumrah will not play for MI in IPL 2023. He recently had a back surgery and will take time to recover. He was the leader of the bowling attack and his absence will be a massive loss for the franchise. Further, Jhye Richardson will also miss the competition. Therefore, there would be a lot of pressure on Jofra Archer to lead the pace attack of the team.

2) Rajasthan Royals

Rajasthan Royals is one of the franchises whose IPL 2023 campaign could get derailed due to injury issues. Prasidh Krishna, who has been injured for a while, recently had a surgery and will miss IPL 2023. Trent Boult and Jason Holder have been inconsistent in recent months while Kuldeep Sen is raw. Moreover, Prasidh was brilliant last year. Considering these factors, RR's bowling attack would have some issues. It needs to be seen if RR would have any other capable Indian pacer who can replace him.

3) Delhi Capitals

Rishabh Pant, due to his unfortunate accident, would miss IPL 2023. David Warner recently went back home from India due to an injury. Considering Pant's absence alone, DC will have a big vacancy in the middle order. Pant was fulflilling the role of captain, wicket-keeper and middle-order left-handed batter. There are very few who could fulfill all these roles. DC might now have to find players to fit each role and that would affect the other areas of the playing XI.
