IPL 2017 Fantasy Guide: Fantasy Tips for Kolkata Knight Riders vs Delhi Daredevils

IPL Fantasy League

Transfer out: Ben Stokes, Shubham Agarwal

Transfer in: Chris Morris, Any player worth 700,000

Now, I already have Sunil Narine, Manish Pandey and Kuldeep Yadav in my side for this game.

The first player that I’ll get in for this game is Chris Morris. He has probably been the worst used player by the DD side and still he has been their most well performing asset, giving rich dividends whenever he is brought into the foray. His death bowling has been immaculate and his lower order striking skills have been on display every time he is provided with the ‘opportunity’ to bat.

The Uthappa-Gambhir conundrum has existed since the two of them got together for KKR a few years back. When it comes to picking one out of the two, I’ll always opt for Uthappa because he gives me that extra scoring option with his wicketkeeping skills. Wicketkeepers are generally involved in a minimum of two dismissals and thus Gambhir will have to roughly score 15 more runs than Uthappa to match his score for the match. So, if you want to get in one from these two, Uthappa should be the one to go with.

Sanju Samson and Rishab Pant have impressed in bursts this year, but both of them don’t really ooze of consistency at the moment, and with DD not playing a game in the next 3 matches, there is no way I’ll be able to carry them, hence I opt out of going for them. KKRs bowling could prove to be a little too much for them as well.

If you have a lot of transfers, and you want to cover all your bases, you could go for Uthappa, but with just 27 transfers in the kitty, I’ll be opting out of him and will be making just the solitary transfer for this game.

For the uncapped player, I’ll be getting in any dummy player worth 700,000, as that is the amount I have left in my kitty and there is no player from both sides worth that much that would be making an appearance. If there is one, you know what to do.

Captain: Sunil Narine/Chris Morris(whoever bowls first)
