Transfers
Transfers Made: 3. | Transfers Remaining: 0.
1) Cameron Green (ALL) (MI) (9 Credits) - OUT | Ruturaj Gaikwad (BAT) (CSK) (9.5 Credits) - IN
2) Suryakumar Yadav (BAT) (MI) (10 Credits) - OUT | Ajinkya Rahane (BAT) (CSK)(8 Credits) - IN
3) Piyush Chawla (MI) (BOWL) (7 Credits) - OUT | Deepak Chahar (BOWL) (CSK) (8.5 Credits) - IN
4) Akash Madhwal (MI) (BOWL) (5.5 Credits) - OUT | Tushar Deshpande (BOWL) (CSK) (7 Credits) - IN (Uncapped Transfer)
For the last time this season, I'm thinking about my transfers, and it actually isn't that straightforward of a situation. I can't take Ishan Kishan out as he's my sole wicketkeeper, while neither Wriddhiman Saha nor MS Dhoni appeals to me as an option.
That's why I have to take both Akash Madhwal and Piyush Chawla out and replace them with two bowlers. While Tushar Deshpande as the uncapped transfer is an easy replacement to fill one of those two slots, I'm backing the in-form Deepak Chahar over Matheesha Pathirana in the Final.
Chahar has good numbers against Shubman Gill, and CSK will desperately want him to deliver in this crunch game. As for the other two transfers, I have a wide set of CSK players to choose from, and it isn't the easiest decision to make.
I'm backing two batters to come good on what should be an excellent surface for stroke-making. Ravindra Jadeja comes in pretty late to bat anyway, so for this game, I'm considering him more as a bowling all-rounder, and since I already have two CSK bowlers, I'm taking a punt on Ajinkya Rahane for this match.
Ruturaj Gaikwad is a much easier pick, considering his form and record against GT.

Selecting a captain and vice-captain from among 10 players isn't my favorite thing to do, but with not much to play for, I may take a playful punt and hope it works out.
