Transfers
Transfers Used- 3, Transfers Remaining- 18
1) Sunil Narine (KKR) (9.5 Credits)- OUT: With KKR playing next on Matchday 44, I'm releasing Narine to make way for an overseas player.
Jofra Archer (RR) (9.5 Credits)- IN: Archer has been in great form all season. He would be keen on rattling the KXIP batting order by taking some key wickets.
2) Lockie Ferguson (KKR) (8.5 Credits)- OUT: Like Du Plessis, I'm releasing Ferguson because KKR will play next, on Matchday 44, and I need an overseas slot to be free.
Sanju Samson (RR) (9.5 Credits)- IN: Sanju Samson was back in form with a great half-century against MI. Having already played in Abu Dhabi for a couple of games, he will have a better understanding of the conditions.
3) Nitish Rana (KKR) (8.5 Credits)- OUT: I opted to release Rana over Sam Curran because the latter is an all-rounder and is crucial in order to maintain a balance in the team.
Mohammed Shami (KXIP) (9 Credits)- IN: Mohammed Shami and KXIP's bowling act has been the main reason for their success this season. The ace speedster will look to lead his bowling unit for another successful game.
Note: I'm bringing Shami, assuming that Mayank Agarwal (KXIP) (8.5 Credits) isn't fit. If Mayank is fit, I might bring him in.
