Transfers
Transfers used: 2, Transfers remaining: 34.
1) Yashasvi Jaiswal (BAT) (RR) (7 Credits)- OUT | Shreyas Iyer (BAT) (DC) (9.5 Credits) - IN.
2) Jason Holder (ALL) (SRH) (9 Credits) - OUT | Kagiso Rabada (BOWL) (DC) (10.5 Credits)- IN.
3) Harshal Patel (BOWL) (RCB) (7 Credits) - OUT | Nitish Rana (BAT) (KKR) (8.5 Credits) - IN. (Uncapped Transfer).
I'll talk about the transfers out before coming to ones I'm bringing in. I'm going to bring Harshal Patel in as my uncapped transfer before RCB's next game, but I'm taking him out now to make space for Chris Morris.
Shreyas Iyer was my first choice for this match, and I know the risks of going in without a DC opener. However, on a slow track where spinners could run the show, Iyer looks like a player who could dominate. Rabada can pick up wickets on any surface, and should be in my team for most of DC's games.
Lastly, I'm adding Nitish Rana to my team as the uncapped transfer. Similar to Shreyas Iyer, he's a good player of spin, and he could score a lot of runs on this playing surface.
Best IPL Fantasy Team for Match 41 - KKR vs DC
The three uncapped KKR players could contribute lots of IPL Fantasy points between them. Varun Chakravarthy picked up a five-wicket haul against DC last season, and he looks to be in good form this time too. Venkatesh Iyer is a value pick with the bat at the top of the order.
Shreyas Iyer and Kagiso Rabada have always been consistent performers for DC, and they should shine in this match. I'll have 0.5 credits in the bank after making all the transfers.
Best IPL Fantasy Team for Match 41 - Summary
Players playing in Match 41: Varun Chakravarthy (BOWL) (KKR) (8 Credits), Venkatesh Iyer (ALL) (KKR) (6 Credits), Shreyas Iyer (BAT) (DC) (9.5 Credits), Kagiso Rabada (BOWL) (DC) (10.5 Credits), and Nitish Rana (BAT) (KKR) (8.5 Credits).
Captaincy: Shreyas Iyer and Rabada are the frontrunners for captaincy, with Nitish Rana a viable pick too. The final decision will depend on the toss.
