I made some changes after the toss, bringing in Chris Morris (ALL) (RR) (9 Credits) and Yashasvi Jaiswal (BAT) (RR) (7 Credits) over Liam Livingstone and Chetan Sakariya.

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.

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.

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.

Like in the last game, I have two players from this match, and will make two regular and one uncapped transfer for this match.

Deadline for Transfers: 7:30 PM IST on Tuesday, 28th September.

Note: The team suggested in the article isn't guaranteed to be the final selection. In case of any unexpected team news at the toss, players will have to make required adjustments, which will then be updated in the article for the next match.


Transfers

Transfers used: 2, Transfers remaining: 32.

1) Shreyas Iyer (BAT) (DC) (9.5 Credits) - OUT | KL Rahul (WK) (PBKS) (11.5 Credits) - IN.

2) Kagiso Rabada (BOWL) (DC) (10.5 Credits) - OUT | Jasprit Bumrah (BOWL) (MI) (11 Credits)- IN.

3) Nitish Rana (BAT) (KKR) (8.5 Credits) - OUT | Harpreet Brar (BOWL) (PBKS) (6.5 Credits) - IN. (Uncapped Transfer).

KL Rahul and Jasprit Bumrah are my two transfers in for this match. Rahul has been pretty consistent against MI, and should step up in this crunch game for the team. On the other hand, Bumrah seems to be in good form, and he has troubled the PBKS batters more than any other MI bowler. He offers a good bowling threat for MI.

I've gone with Harpreet Brar as my uncapped pick because I couldn't afford Bishnoi. He could offer IPL Fantasy value with the bat and the ball, and is a decent pick at 6.5 Credits.

I'm usually confident for PBKS matches, and I'm backing Rahul and Arshdeep to get some good points.

Suryakumar Yadav should score runs sooner or later, and he could deliver with points on the line for MI. Jasprit Bumrah has delivered IPL Fantasy points in the last two games, and he could continue that streak in this game too. I won't have any credits left in the bank after that.

Players playing in Match 42: Suryakumar Yadav (MI) (BAT) (9.5 Credits), Arshdeep Singh (BOWL) (PBKS) (7.5 Credits), KL Rahul (WK) (PBKS) (11.5 Credits), Jasprit Bumrah (BOWL) (MI) (11 Credits), and Harpreet Brar (BOWL) (PBKS) (6.5 Credits).

Captaincy: KL Rahul and Jasprit Bumrah are the top contenders for captaincy. Suryakumar Yadav is also an option to consider, but his lack of recent returns makes him a slightly unattractive pick.
