I struggled in picking the right players from CSK and both Chahar and Jadeja let me down on Matchday 7. The Delhi Capitals players fared better with Shreyas Iyer having a decent day while Rabada had a great one.
Players playing in IPL Matchday 7: Shreyas Iyer, Kagiso Rabada, Deepak Chahar, and Ravindra Jadeja.
Captain: Shreyas Iyer | Vice-Captain: Kagiso Rabada
Points scored: 207.5
Credits remaining: 1.5
Both SRH and KKR have players who are capable of registering huge IPL Fantasy scores, and picking the right ones will be crucial. So on that note, let’s take a look at the best Fantasy XI for Matchday 7.
Transfers
Transfers Used: 2, Transfers Remaining: 96
- Kagiso Rabada (DC) (9.5 Credits)- OUT Rabada had a decent game and under ideal circumstances, I would’ve been shipping Jadeja out instead of him. Considering that I need the funds to get David Warner in my team, I will have to let him go.
Shivam Mavi (KKR) (7 Credits)- IN Shivam Mavi’s great spell of fast bowling was a rare positive for KKR against MI. He will be a cheap enabler who’s capable of getting me some valuable IPL Fantasy points.
- Deepak Chahar (CSK) (8.5 Credits)- OUT Deepak Chahar was unlucky not to get a wicket against DC. With CSK featuring next only on Matchday 14, it makes sense to remove those players from my IPL Fantasy team.
David Warner (SRH) (12.5 Credits)- IN He might be expensive, but David Warner will look to register a huge score after his unlucky dismissal in their first match. He has a great record against KKR, and I’ll be considering captaining him for this match.
Note: Once again, if Mohammad Nabi(SRH)(8.5 Credits) plays, I might opt to bring in him and Nitish Rana(KKR)(8.5 Credits) into the team, with Jadeja and Chahar going out.
Best IPL Fantasy Team for Matchday 8- KKR vs SRH:
KL Rahul, Shreyas Iyer, Shivam Mavi (Playing), Manish Pandey(Playing), Yashasvi Jaiswal, David Warner (Playing), Sunil Narine(Playing), Ravindra Jadeja, Yuzvendra Chahal, Rahul Chahar, and Mohammed Shami.
Captain and Vice-Captain Picks: Sunil Narine/ David Warner
Sunil Narine and David Warner are the obvious captaincy choices for this game. Who I captain and who I vice-captain may vary according to the toss, but I feel that Narine should be a bit higher in the pecking order, due to his all-round ability to fetch points.
Players who will feature in IPL Matchday 8
Sunil Narine is someone who’s likely going to remain in my team all season. His all-round abilities to get points makes him a candidate for captaincy in almost every game.
David Warner won the Orange Cap last IPL season after playing just 12 games and that should tell you how good a player he is. His batting is crucial for his team, and I expect him to get a big score against this inexperienced KKR bowling attack.
Shivam Mavi is more of a budget-saving pick, but considering that he bowls at the death, he could pick up a wicket or two.
Manish Pandey is my final pick for this IPL Matchday. He got off to a good start against RCB and will look to make a big score against his former side. His exceptional fielding could, of course, fetch me some extra IPL Fantasy points.
