I made a couple of changes to my transfer plans ahead of the game, bringing in Michael Bracewell and Arshad Khan over Jofra Archer and Mahipal Lomror, respectively.

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

Transfers
Transfers Made: 1. | Transfers Remaining: 132.
1) Ishan Kishan (MI) (WK) (9 Credits) - OUT | Moeen Ali (ALL) (CSK) (9.5 Credits) - IN
2) Arshad Khan (BOWL) (MI) (5 Credits) - OUT | Rajvardhan Hangargekar (BOWL) (CSK) (5.5 Credits) - IN. (Uncapped Transfer).
With Deepak Hooda, Ravindra Jadeja, and Ravi Bishnoi already on my Fantasy team ahead of this fixture, I'm saving transfers by making only one. While Ruturaj Gaikwad and KL Rahul ran through my mind, I felt that a pure batter could well struggle in these conditions, and I could have a better haul if I took a chance on someone like Moeen Ali.
He looked to be in decent nick before he got caught behind off Rashid Khan's bowling, and on a spinning track, his power-hitting against spinners could prove valuable for CSK. LSG also have the dangerous Kyle Mayers, Nicholas Pooran, and Krunal Pandya in their ranks, and Moeen's off-spin should come in handy against them.
As for the uncapped player, Rajvardhan Hangagekar feels like the right player to go with. When CSK backs a youngster, they go all the way, and they seem to have placed a lot of trust in the talented seamer. He bowled the right lengths en route to his three-wicket haul on debut against GT and should pick up wickets in this match as well.
IPL Fantasy 2023 - Best Fantasy XI for Match 6 - LSG vs CSK: Thoughts and Captaincy Tips
Players playing in Match 6: Deepak Hooda (ALL) (LSG) (8.5 Credits), Ravi Bishnoi (BOWL) (LSG) (8.5 Credits), Ravindra Jadeja (ALL) (CSK) (10 Credits), Moeen Ali (ALL) (CSK) (9.5 Credits), and Rajvardhan Hangargekar (BOWL) (CSK) (5.5 Credits).
Having brought in Moeen Ali for his all-round abilities, I could well hand him the captain's armband, especially because of his high batting position for CSK. Ravindra Jadeja, Deepak Hooda, and Ravi Bishnoi are all contenders for the vice-captain's position, with my final decision based on the toss.
