Transfers
Transfers used: 2. Transfers remaining: 115.
1) Umesh Yadav (BOWL) (KKR) (8 Credits) - OUT| Ishan Kishan (WK) (MI) (9.5 Credits) - IN.
2) Varun Chakravarthy (BOWL) (KKR) (8.5 Credits) - OUT| Yuzvendra Chahal (BOWL) (RR) (9.5 Credits) - IN.
3) Venkatesh Iyer (ALL) (KKR) (9 Credits) - OUT| Rahul Tewatia (ALL) (GT) (8.5 Credits) - IN. (Uncapped Transfer).
With KKR playing only six games later, I've prioritised taking their players out ahead of this game.
All of my transfers are pretty self-explanatory. Ishan Kishan seems to be the standout option from a brittle-looking MI batting lineup and offers excellent IPL Fantasy value. The maturity he showed batting deep even as wickets fell around him bodes well for MI.
Yuzvendra Chahal ripped through the SRH batting lineup in a challenging run chase. Considering the MI batters' weakness against spin, Chahal seems like a shoo-in. However, any of the other bowlers in their star-studded lineup would be a good pick.
The uncapped transfer is Rahul Tewatia from the GT-DC game. As I plan to play the 'Power All-Rounder' booster in that game, getting Tewatia in advance would make things easier.
I'll have 2.5 credits in the bank after making the above transfers.
IPL 2022 Fantasy Team for Match 9 - MI vs RR
With the team in good shape to use the Power All-rounder booster in the next game, I'm content with having only four players. Leg-spinners have started this tournament very well. Batters from both teams tend to struggle against spin, so Chahal and M Ashwin could both finish with decent point hauls.
Both Ishan Kishan and Sanju Samson batted well in their opening fixtures but ended on opposite sides of the finish line. They'll look to build on those knocks and get some consistency in their game.
Best IPL Fantasy Team for Match 9 - Summary
Players playing in Match 9: Sanju Samson (WK) (RR) (10 Credits), Murugan Ashwin (BOWL) (MI) (7 Credits), Ishan Kishan (WK) (MI) (9.5 Credits), and Yuzvendra Chahal (BOWL) (RR) (9.5 Credits).
Captaincy: All four players are viable captaincy options. However, I'm usually tentative in captaining uncapped players, and that could put M Ashwin out of the reckoning. The other three players stand a good chance of becoming one of my captaincy options. The toss should help me decide better.
