IPL 2022 Fantasy League: Best Fantasy XI for Match 2 - DC vs MI and Match 3- PBKS vs RCB| IPL Fantasy Tips
It's Day 2of Tata IPL 2022, and we already have the first double header of the season. Delhi Capitals (DC) will go up against Mumbai Indians (MI) in the afternoon game at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai. Punjab Kings (PBKS) will lock horns with Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the second game of the day at the Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy.
Players playing in Match 1: Devon Conway (BAT) (CSK) (8 Credits), Ambati Rayudu (BAT) (CSK) (8.5 Credits), Ruturaj Gaikwad (BAT) (CSK) (9.5 Credits), Shreyas Iyer (BAT) (KKR) (10 Credits), Ajinkya Rahane (BAT) (KKR) (8.5 Credits), and Venkatesh Iyer (ALL) (KKR) (9 Credits).
Captain: Shreyas Iyer | Vice-Captain: Venkatesh Iyer.
Credits Remaining: 0.
After having six players from the opener to play the Power Batter booster, I only have two players from this game. So I'll use two regular and one uncapped transfer.
Transfer Deadline: 03:30 PM IST on Sunday, March 27.
Note: The team suggested is subject to change depending on the toss or other unexpected team news. Any such changes will be updated for the next game.
Transfers
Transfers used: 2. Transfers remaining: 128.
1) Shreyas Iyer (BAT) (KKR) (10 Credits) - OUT | Prithvi Shaw (BAT) (DC) (9 Credits) - IN.
2) Ruturaj Gaikwad (BAT) (CSK) (9.5 Credits) - OUT | Jasprit Bumrah (BOWL) (MI) (11 Credits) - IN.
3) Ambati Rayudu (BAT) (CSK) (8.5 Credits) - OUT| Arsdheep Singh (BOWL) (PBKS) (8 Credits)- IN (Uncapped Transfer).
With not many uncapped players from this IPL game, I've decided to bring in Arshdeep Singh from the PBKS-RCB fixture. However, I could take a punt on Murugan Ashwin if he plays.
The transfers from this game are pretty self-explanatory. With MI boasting a new-look bowling attack, Jasprit Bumrah is the most reliable and safest option. While the wicket should be on the slower side, Bumrah is someone who could pick up wickets in any conditions.
Prithvi Shaw is my second transfer in from this IPL game. His knowledge of the various Mumbai tracks makes him a quality option both for DC and for our Fantasy teams. After a couple of inconsistent IPL seasons, he'll look to make this one his own and get off to a good start against MI.
My transfers out were decided by nothing more than funds. While I'd like to retain Shreyas Iyer and Gaikwad, they're too expensive to hold on to when their teams don't play anytime soon.
I'll have zero credits in the bank after making the following transfers:
IPL 2022 Fantasy Team for Match 2 - DC vs MI
Wicketkeepers: Ishan Kishan (MI) (WK) (9.5 Credits).
Batters: Devon Conway (BAT) (CSK) (8 Credits), Prithvi Shaw (BAT) (DC) (9 Credits), Ajinkya Rahane (BAT) (KKR) (8.5 Credits), and Shikhar Dhawan (BAT) (PBKS) (10 Credits).
All-Rounders: Venkatesh Iyer (ALL) (KKR) (9 Credits).
Bowlers: Harshal Patel (BOWL) (RCB) (9 Credits), Jasprit Bumrah (BOWL) (MI) (11 Credits), Arsdheep Singh (BOWL) (PBKS) (8 Credits), Shardul Thakur (BOWL) (DC) (9 Credits), and Mohammed Shami (BOWL) (GT) (9 Credits).
In Ishan Kishan, Shardul Thakur, Prithvi Shaw and Jasprit Bumrah, I feel I have a solid quartet of players from Match 2 of IPL 2022.
The pitch is expected to be slow, so a slightly low-scoring game could be on the cards. With no known uncapped player likely to play a prominent role for either team, I've opted to use it to bring in Arshdeep Singh from PBKS.
I'm happy with how the team is ahead of this IPL game and am optimistic about the position it leaves me in for future matches.
Best IPL Fantasy Team for Match 2 - Summary
Players playing in Match 2: Ishan Kishan (MI) (WK) (9.5 Credits), Prithvi Shaw (BAT) (DC) (9 Credits), Jasprit Bumrah (BOWL) (MI) (11 Credits), and Shardul Thakur (BOWL) (DC) (9 Credits).
Captaincy: All four players are good captaincy picks in their own right, and the toss should have a huge bearing on my final decision. However, Bumrah and Ishan Kishan have the edge over their DC counterparts, owing to their consistency and better points potential.
