Transfers

Transfers Made: 2 | Transfers Remaining: 0.

1) Heinrich Klaasen (WK) (SRH) (8 Credits) - OUT | Shubman Gill (BAT) (GT) (9.5 Credits) - IN

2) Jason Behrendorff (BOWL) (MI) (8 Credits) - OUT | Faf Du Plessis (BAT) (RCB) (9.5 Credits) - IN

3) Abhishek Sharma (ALL) (SRH) (8 Credits) - OUT | Sai Sudharsan (BAT) (GT) (7 Credits) - IN (Uncapped Transfer).

With only two transfers to make on what should be a cracking wicket for strokeplay, it's only natural that all three of my transfers are batting options.

I'm not quite sure how to feel about GT taking on RCB in terms of what it means for Kohli and Faf's point potential. Apart from Conway and Ruturaj, the Kohli-Faf opening partnership is easily the best in the league, and they've been stellar in the powerplay.

However, taking on arguably the best bowling unit in the league, especially considering Mohammed Shami's current form, it should be a good fight between these two sides.

I feel Faf is more likely to score runs if he survives the powerplay, with his spin batting more effective against Rashid Khan and Noor Ahmad in comparison to Kohli. Centurion Shubman Gill is an easy transfer in, especially after I missed bringing him in for the previous game.

With no clear-cut uncapped option from RCB, I'm likely to pick Sai Sudharsan as the uncapped player from GT.

IPL Fantasy 2023 - Best Fantasy XI for Match 70 - RCB vs GT: Thoughts and Captaincy Tips

Best IPL 2023 Fantasy Team for IPL Match 70 - RCB vs GT

Players playing in Match 70: Mohammed Siraj (BOWL) (RCB) (9 Credits), Faf Du Plessis (BAT) (RCB) (9.5 Credits), Shubman Gill (BAT) (GT) (9.5 Credits), and Sai Sudharsan (BAT) (GT) (7 Credits).

Shubman Gill and Faf Du Plessis are overwhelming captaincy favorites, but I am scared about their chances of survival against two equally good powerplay bowling units.
