IPL Fantasy Tips- RCB vs PBKS and KKR vs SRH

The Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) will take on the Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the first match of a Sunday doubleheader of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium in Sharjah. The Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will lock horns with Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) later on the day.

I made some changes to my team for the Saturday doubleheader. I went for Steve Smith (BAT) (DC) (9.5 Credits) over Shreyas Iyer (BAT) (DC) (9.5 Credits) for the MI-DC match.

In the RR-CSK game, I made an extra transfer to bring Sanju Samson (WK) (RR) (9.5 Credits) in, taking Avesh Khan (BOWL) (DC) (7 Credits) out. I also went for Shivam Dube (ALL) (RR) (7.5 Credits) over Ravindra Jadeja (ALL) (CSK) (9 Credits). Moreover, I changed my uncapped pick to Ravi Bishnoi (BOWL) (PBKS) (8.5 Credits) over Yashashvi Jaiswal (BAT) (RR) (7 Credits).

Players playing in Match 47: Ruturaj Gaikwad (BAT) (CSK) (8 Credits), Moeen Ali (ALL) (CSK) (8.5 Credits), Shivam Dube (ALL) (RR) (7.5 Credits), Sanju Samson (WK) (RR), and Faf Du Plessis (BAT) (CSK) (9.5 Credits).

Captain: Moeen Ali | Vice-Captain: Shivam Dube.

Credits Remaining: 5.5.

I'll play my Double Up booster for this match, and aim to fill my team with players from PBKS and RCB. Therefore, I'll make four regular and one uncapped transfer for this match. I'll then use my Super Transfers booster to reset my team ahead of the SRH-KKR clash.

Deadline for Transfers: 3:30 PM IST on Sunday, October 3rd.

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 the required adjustments, which will then be updated in the article for the next match.

Transfers

Transfers used: 4. Transfers remaining: 20.

1) Faf Du Plessis (BAT) (CSK) (9.5 Credits) - OUT. | Mayank Agarwal (BAT) (PBKS) (9.5 Credits) - IN.

2) Moeen Ali (ALL) (CSK) (8.5 Credits) - OUT. | Virat Kohli (BAT) (RCB) (12 Credits) - IN.

3) Shivam Dube (ALL) (RR) (7.5 Credits) - OUT. | Yuzvendra Chahal (BOWL) (RCB) (9 Credits) - IN.

4) Sanju Samson (WK) (RR) - OUT. | Devdutt Padikkal (BAT) (RCB) (9 Credits) - IN. (Uncapped Transfer)

5) Ruturaj Gaikwad (BAT) (CSK) (8 Credits) - OUT. | Mohammed Shami (BOWL) (PBKS) (9 Credits) - IN.

As I'm going with eleven players from this match, it becomes a bit chaotic with the transfers. While I'm keen on including certain players like Mayank Agarwal and Yuzvendra Chahal, others will make my team subject to the pitch report and toss.

Virat Kohli is also a must-have in my team, considering his recent form. I'm unsure about AB De Villiers, though. While I could accommodate him in my team, it's unknown how he might perform, considering his perceived weakness against leg-spinners.

Suggested Team: IPL 2021 Match 48- RCB vs PBKS

Having a team full of players from one match makes this feel like a Daily Fantasy challenge.

The Double Up is the most powerful booster in IPL Fantasy, and the way I view it, it allows you to have nine captains, one triple captain and one player whose points get quadrupled.

Looking at it like that makes it all the more important how I fare in this match. I'm hoping that I've selected the right players from both teams. It's crucial to understand how the game is likely to pan out to structure my team accordingly.

I expect this game to be a 150-160 kind-of match, with equal opportunity for points for both batters and bowlers. There's a tremendous upside in getting that right, and I believe I've done the same for this match.

Players playing in Match 48: Arshdeep Singh (BOWL) (PBKS) (7.5 Credits), KL Rahul (WK) (PBKS) (11.5 Credits), Aiden Markram (BAT) (PBKS) (8 Credits), Virat Kohli (RCB) (BAT) (12 Credits), Harshal Patel (BOWL) (RCB) (7 Credits), Glenn Maxwell (ALL) (RCB) (9 Credits), Mayank Agarwal (BAT) (PBKS) (9.5 Credits), Mohammed Shami (BOWL) (PBKS) (9 Credits), Yuzvendra Chahal (BOWL) (RCB) (9 Credits), Devdutt Padikkal (BAT) (RCB) (9 Credits), and Virat Kohli (BAT) (RCB) (12 Credits).

Booster Used: Double UP

Captaincy: Captaincy should be a tricky proposition in this match, with eleven options available. The toss and pitch report should have a bearing on what I eventually opt to do.

The Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will take on the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the 49th match of the Vivo Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 on Sunday at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai. It's the second match of a doubleheader on the day.

Having filled my team with players from RCB and PBKS for the last match, I'll use my Super Transfer booster to set my team up for the remainder of the group stage. The booster will allow me to make unlimited transfers ahead of the match.

Deadline for Transfers: 7:30 PM IST on Sunday, October 3rd.

Best IPL Fantasy Team for Match 49 - KKR vs SRH

Suggested Team: IPL 2021 Match 49- KKR vs SRH

WicketKeepers: Wriddhiman Saha (WK) (SRH) (8.5 Credits).

Batters: Shubman Gill (KKR) (BAT) (9 Credits), Kane Williamson (SRH) (BAT) (9.5 Credits), Suryakumar Yadav (MI) (BAT) (9.5 Credits), and Shikhar Dhawan (BAT) (DC) (10.5 Credits).

All-Rounders: Jason Holder (ALL) (SRH) (9 Credits), Venkatesh Iyer (ALL) (KKR) (6 Credits), and Moeen Ali (ALL) (CSK) (8.5 Credits).

Bowlers: Jasprit Bumrah (BOWL) (MI) (11 Credits), Harshal Patel (BOWL) (RCB) (7 Credits), and Rashid Khan (BOWL) (SRH) (10.5 Credits).

While it's not my final team, it is similar to what I'd like to go for when using my Super Transfers. I've opted for six players from the KKR-SRH match, three from the CSK-DC game up next, and two from MI's clash against RR. I've gone with four players from SRH because I think they could deliver decent performances against KKR.

While I think KKR could win, I'm not sure where the points would come from. I'm not enthusiastic about going with Sunil Narine or Varun Chakravarthy in Dubai. Unless Andre Russell plays, I'm likely to stick with those six players. Having four SRH players allows me to retain two of them for their game against RCB.

The other picks are pretty self-explanatory. Jasprit Bumrah should star with the ball against RR after a modest outing against DC. Suryakumar Yadav looked better against DC, and he could make a big score against RR.

Avesh Khan has been excellent for DC, and he could be their chief wicket-taker against CSK. Shikhar Dhawan and Moeen Ali are, as always, great IPL Fantasy picks.

Players playing in Match 49: Wriddhiman Saha (WK) (SRH) (8.5 Credits), Shubman Gill (KKR) (BAT) (9 Credits), Kane Williamson (SRH) (BAT) (9.5 Credits), Jason Holder (ALL) (SRH) (9 Credits), Venkatesh Iyer (ALL) (KKR) (6 Credits), and Rashid Khan (BOWL) (SRH) (10.5 Credits).

Booster Used: Super Transfers.

Captaincy: With multiple good captaincy options available, I'll make my final choice after the toss. Jason Holder could get the nod, if he's likely to bowl at the death. Venkatesh Iyer is also someone I'd consider if KKR go in with only four bowlers.
