Transfers

Transfers Used- 2, Transfers remaining- 37

1) Virat Kohli (RCB) (12.5 Credits)- OUT: With RCB playing next on Matchday 37, transferring Kohli out can free up funds and secure a spot on the team.

2) Ben Stokes (RR) (11 Credits)- IN: The England all-rounder seems to have secured his spot as an opener. Considering that he also bowled three overs in the last game, he has an opportunity to pick up some serious points this game.

3) Chris Morris (RCB) (9 Credits)- OUT: Morris has bowled really well this IPL season. The overseas slot will be open up by releasing him, so opting to transfer him out instead of Devdutt Padikkal is a feasible option.

4) Kane Williamson (SRH) (10 Credits)- IN: The Kiwi batsman was promoted to the top of the order in his last match. He was nursing an injury during the game, if he can get back to form, he can play the game and play it well.

Note: David Warner (SRH) (12.5 Credits) will be considered if Williamson isn't playing or isn't going to open (batting).

Players who will feature on IPL Matchday 40

Ben Stokes is a difficult option for this match. He hasn't performed that well in this IPL season, but could step up for his team during this crucial match.

Rahul Tewatia is the highest scoring IPL Fantasy player from the Royals at the moment. Expect him to continue his great run this season.

Kane Williamson has done pretty well with the limited opportunities he has been handed this season. He'll look to capitalize on the opportunity to open for SRH.

Robin Uthappa didn't fare too well against CSK. He will look to replicate his performance against RCB on a better pitch against SRH.

T Natarajan has been very consistent for SRH. He should continue with his habit of picking up key wickets, this can add to his IPL Fantasy points tally.
