IPL 2017 Fantasy Guide: Fantasy Tips for Kings XI Punjab vs Sunrisers Hyderabad

IPL Fantasy League

Transfer out: Chris Morris, Sunil Narine, Ankit Bawne

Transfer in: Glenn Maxwell, David Warner, Dummy Uncapped player

Now, I already have Bhuvi and Rashid Khan in my team for this game.

The first player that I get into my side is David Warner. The only real threat in the KXIP bowling unit is Axar Patel and he’ll be spinning the ball into David, making it easy for him to manoeuvre him around, and thus I believe Warner would help himself to a fifty very easily tonight. Sandeep Sharma has often troubled him early on, but Sandeep hasn’t been swinging the ball too much this season, thereby making it easy for Warner to negate his threat up top.

Now, for the second transfer it is going to be a straight toss up between Maxwell and Amla. Amla has been really solid up top but Maxwell has time and agains showed that all he needs is 20 balls to blow away the opposition. Maxwell though will have to deal with Rashid Khan’s threat in the middle overs, and I am sure Warner would save him for Maxi. Thus, I am a little tilted towards Amla, the major reason being Rashid’s trickery. If you can, I would suggest getting both of them in, as KXIP play again after a gap of just 2 matches.

My team combination does not allow me to get in Amla, as I already have enough batsmen in my side, and hence I’ll have to go with Maxwell and hope that Bhuvi can sort Amla out up front and then Maxi can destroy SRH lower down the order. It’s a ‘fantasy’ world we live in , don’t we?

For the uncapped player, I am left with just 600,000 and thus I will have to go for a dummy substitution here.

Captain: Bhuvaneshwar Kumar
