Transfers
Transfers Made: 2 | Transfers Remaining: 49.
1) Shikhar Dhawan (BAT) (PBKS) (9.5 Credits) - OUT | Mayank Agarwal (BAT) (SRH) (9 Credits) - IN
2) Liam Livingstone (ALL) (PBKS) (9 Credits) - OUT | Andre Russell (ALL) (KKR) (10.5 Credits) - IN
3) Arshad Khan (BOWL) (MI) (5 Credits) - OUT | Abhishek Sharma (ALL) (SRH) (8 Credits) - IN (Uncapped Transfer).
While I'd have liked to keep my Punjab Kings (PBKS) players, especially Liam Livingstone, it doesn't make sense to do that when their next game is a few days away. Instead, I'm retaining enough players from the Mumbai Indians-Chennai Super Kings match so that I can go transfer-less for that one.
As for the incoming players, I am bringing Andre Russell (KKR) and Mayank Agarwal (SRH) into my team for the first time since their respective teams' opening fixtures. I have the same reasoning to get both of them in, and it's that they're really due for a match-winning performance.
Russell has started bowling more regularly now, and on a big ground like the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, you can almost count on a couple of SRH batters trying to take on Russell and holing out in the deep. The fact that I'm talking about Russell's bowling as a plus should tell you how good his batting has been this season, and while he has regained his form with a couple of cameos, a substantial knock is yet to arrive.
The same goes for Mayank, who has had a torrid time since the start of last season, and the shift in base hasn't helped the ace batter. While he has got off to a couple of promising starts for SRH, he hasn't been able to make the most of them. Against a rather ineffective KKR opening bowling lineup, this could be the game where he finds his form.
Abhishek Sharma is the obvious choice for the uncapped player transfer, considering his good form heading into this game.
IPL Fantasy 2023 - Best Fantasy XI for Match 47 - SRH vs KKR: Thoughts and Captaincy Tips
Players playing in Match 47: Suyash Sharma (BOWL) (KKR) (4.5 Credits), Mayank Agarwal (BAT) (SRH) (9 Credits), Andre Russell (ALL) (KKR) (10.5 Credits), and Abhishek Sharma (ALL) (SRH) (8 Credits).
The uncapped players taking part in this match are stronger than your usual options, and I won't be taking them out of consideration for captaincy. The potential impact Dre Russ could have makes him the frontrunner for the captaincy.
