I already have three players from this fixture and will make two regular and one uncapped transfer.

Transfers
Transfers Made: 1. | Transfers Remaining: 102
1) Sam Curran (ALL) (PBKS) (9.5 Credits) - OUT | Cameron Green (ALL) (MI) (9 Credits) - IN
2) Axar Patel (ALL) (DC) (9 Credits) - OUT | Rinku Singh (BAT) (KKR) (7 Credits) - IN. (Uncapped Transfer)
With three players already in my team from this fixture, I've decided to save some transfers and am making only one regular transfer. I could've chosen pretty much anyone, but I'm sticking with Cameron Green feels, which feels like the right decision for me.
With the other expensive auction buys delivering (Sam Curran, Harry Brook) delivering the returns, I have faith that the Australian all-rounder will do just the same. He's bowling plenty of overs for them as well but has been unlucky not to pick up more wickets.
As for the uncapped transfer, I'm playing it safe and going with the in-form Rinku Singh, who should enjoy batting at the Wankhede Stadium.
IPL Fantasy 2023 - Best Fantasy XI for Match 22 - MI vs KKR: Thoughts and Captaincy Tips
Players playing in Match 22: Shardul Thakur (BOWL) (KKR) (8.5 Credits), Narayan Jagadeesan (WK) (KKR) (7 Credits), Rinku Singh (BAT) (KKR) (7 Credits), Cameron Green (ALL) (MI) (9 Credits), Tilak Varma (BAT) (MI) (8.5 Credits)
With three of the five players uncapped option, I might finally give in and make one of them my captain or vice-captain. The in-form Tilak Varma is the top captaincy pick in that sense, especially after he batted at No. 3 in MI's last match.
