Now, I already have Virat Kohli, ABD, Yuzi Chahal and Steve Smith in my side for this game.

With Fandromeda giving us more leeway with transfers we can afford to get in some half-picks for this game.

I can transfer out just one overseas player as all other feature either today or tomorrow. Now, I can bring in one from Tahir, Badree and Ben Stokes.

The only issue I have with Badree is that he finishes most of his overs during the powerplay, and with RPSG having a solid top 3, I don’t see him running through them in the inital stages, hence I leave him out.

Tahir operates in the death overs, which makes him a far better prospect even though he is facing a more explosive batting unit. But the fact that Stokes will also operate during the death and will also get the opportunity to bat, tilts it a little bit in favour of Stokes. It’s the double scoring opportunity that entices me and thus I’ll be going in with Stokes!

I’ll be making one more transfer for this game and it’ll be one from Tripathi, Rahane and Kedar. The fact that Kedar bats at number 4 and might not get a lot of overs to bat, if the top 3 click, makes me opt out of him.

Now, when it is a straight toss up between Rahane and Tripathi, I am tempted to go for the more secure option. Thus, I’ll be getting in Rahane.

Batting Star: Virat(if RCB bat second)/ABD(if RCB bat first)

Bowling Star: Yuzi Chahal/Ben Stokes(whoever bowls first)

Happy team picking 🙂
