Transfers

Transfers Made: 2 | Transfers Remaining: 0.

Credits Remaining: 3.

1) Ryan Rickelton (MI) (WK) (9 Credits) – OUT | KL Rahul (DC) (WK) (10 Credits) – IN

2) Hardik Pandya (MI) (ALL) (10.5 Credits) – OUT | Varun Chakravarthy (KKR) (BOWL) (10 Credits) – IN

We’ve rarely gone into a DC match without KL Rahul in our team, and aren’t going to do so now. While PBKS’s win over LSG knocked DC out of playoff contention, they will play for pride, and Rahul, who has historically performed strongly in these final group-stage matches, will look to do so once more.

While he doesn’t possess the greatest of records against KKR, nor at the Eden Gardens, Rahul remains a strong IPL Fantasy option in this fixture.

We’re likely to use our second and final transfer to take a punt on Varun Chakravarthy. The wickets at the Eden Gardens have strongly favored the spinners. With a very brittle-looking DC batting order to bowl against, the mystery spinner is a tempting differential, despite going wicketless against them earlier in the season.

However, our transfer plan will be heavily influenced by the outcome of the MI-RR game, with a win for RR knocking KKR out of the playoffs race, and in that case, we could consider selecting Mitchell Starc or Axar Patel over Varun instead

Players playing in Match 70: Cameron Green (KKR) (BAT) (8 Credits), KL Rahul (DC) (WK) (10 Credits), and Varun Chakravarthy (KKR) (BOWL) (10 Credits).

Despite Varun’s high points ceiling, Rahul and Green are the obvious captaincy choices for this match, with the Aussie all-rounder’s improved form with the ball giving him an edge over Rahul.
