Transfers
Transfers Made: 2 | Transfers Remaining: 4.
1) Axar Patel (ALL) (DC) (9 Credits) - OUT | Quinton De Kock (WK) (LSG) (10 Credits) - IN
2) Ravindra Jadeja (ALL) (CSK) (10 Credits) - OUT | Andre Russell (ALL) (KKR) (10.5 Credits) - IN
3) David Warner (BAT) (DC) (10 Credits) - OUT | Rinku Singh (BAT) (KKR) (7 Credits) - IN (Uncapped Transfer)
Quinton De Kock absolutely loved playing against KKR as an LSG player and scored close to 200 runs in the teams' two meetings, while smashing an unbeaten 140. As I'm confused about who to pick, his performances against KKR last season make it a slightly easier decision.
The uncapped player transfer is a no-brainer, with Rinku Singh's POTM-winning performance against CSK showing yet again why he's the side's most important player.
The other regular transfer decision wasn't as straightforward, but I've decided to go with Andre Russell. He has a good record against many of the LSG batters, and was one of KKR's star performers in one of their meetings with LSG. While he hasn't bowled much in the last few games, positive match-ups could see him contribute with the ball and bat in this game.
Of course, there's a good chance of rain interrupting this match so I'll have to make the transfers taking the weather into consideration as well.
IPL Fantasy 2023 - Best Fantasy XI for Match 68 - KKR vs LSG: Thoughts and Captaincy Tips
Players playing in Match 68: Varun Chakravarthy (BOWL) (KKR) (8 Credits), Quinton De Kock (WK) (LSG) (10 Credits), Andre Russell (ALL) (KKR) (10.5 Credits), and Rinku Singh (BAT) (KKR) (7 Credits).
Any of these four players could be excellent captaincy options, but the point potential is highest for QDK and Russell, although Varun Chakravarthy could be a handful on this surface. Right now, I'm leaning towards making De Kock the captain due to his ability to pick up points from his wicket-keeping dismissals as well.
