Transfers
Transfers Made: 2 | Transfers Remaining: 106.
1) Prabhsimran Singh (BAT) (PBKS) (6.5 Credits) - OUT | Aiden Markram (BAT) (SRH) (9 Credits) - IN
2) Sai Sudharsan (BAT) (GT) (7 Credits) - OUT | Nitish Rana (ALL) (KKR) (8.5 Credits) - IN.
3) Jos Buttler (WK) (RR) (11 Credits) - OUT | Narayan Jagadeesan (WK) (KKR) (7 Credits) - IN. (Uncapped Transfer).
I'm taking a fairly contentious call by taking Jos Buttler out of that wicket-keeper spot, but with RR playing only in M23, Buttler takes up an overseas spot and is a bit too expensive to keep. Therefore, I'm inclined to take an opportunity to bring in a wicketkeeper who bats up the order using my uncapped transfer.
As for the regular picks, Aiden Markram's selection should be self-explanatory at this point. Barring Rahul Tripathi, he's the best batter in the SRH side, and with the high number of left-handers in the KKR lineup, he is sure to bowl himself and could get some points with the ball as well.
Now, I could've gone for Umran Malik or Natarajan over Nitish Rana, but with KKR playing again after a quick turnaround in M22, it made more sense to load up on players from KKR.
IPL Fantasy 2023 - Best Fantasy XI for Match 19 - KKR vs SRH: Thoughts and Captaincy Tips
Players playing in Match 19: Shardul Thakur (BOWL) (KKR) (8.5 Credits), Aiden Markram (BAT) (SRH) (9 Credits), Nitish Rana (ALL) (KKR) (8.5 Credits), and Narayan Jagadeesan (WK) (KKR) (7 Credits).
I won't be considering Jagadeesan for captaincy although I will be rooting for him to do well. Markram is my first-choice captaincy pick due to his all-round potential for points. I'm still not fully convinced by the KKR batters so Shardul Thakur might trump Nitish Rana as the vice-captain pick.
