IPL 2017 Fantasy Guide: Fantasy Tips for Mumbai Indians vs Rising Pune Supergiant

IPL Fantasy League

Transfer out: Rishab Pant, Iqbal Abudlla, Chris Morris

Transfer in: Ajinkya Rahane, Ben Stokes/Imran Tahir, Rahul Tripathu/Krunal Pandya

 

Now, I already have Jos Buttler and Jasprit Bumrah in my side for this game.

I won’t be getting in any other Mumbai player into my side for this game as they don’ t play a game for sometime now. Also, with RPS playing their next game on Wednesday itself, makes more sense to stack up my team with RPS players.

There are four players in my consideration set for this game: Ajinkya Rahane, Steve Smith, Ben Stokes and Imran Tahir.

Now, I can transfer out only one overseas player for this game, as all other overseas players play either today(Jos Buttler) or have a game tomorrow(ABD and Rashid Khan).

The first player that I get in is Ajinkya Rahane. I can transfer out Rishab Pant, as DD won’t be playing anytime soon and thus Rahane seems to be the ideal replacement. With he playing two matches in 3 days, and on pitches that will help the ball come onto the bat, I expect him to give me a return of at least 120 points before I transfer him out. He is as dependable as it gets(despite a not so very good season), get him in!

For the second transfer, I’ll be transferring out Chris Morris and getting in one from Ben Stokes and Imran Tahir into my team. Ideally I would have wanted to get in Steve Smith, but my team combination does not allow me to do so. If you can, he should be the first player that you get in for this game.

Imran Tahir would have to bowl with the wet ball, if RPS bowl second, and that is when I would prefer to get Stokes in rather than Tahir. If RPS bowl first, Tahir could be better option.

If RPS bat first I’ll get Stokes in. He bats at number 5 and gets to bowl at least 3 overs, with one of them during the death. And with two matches in 3 days, he becomes an indispensable part of the unit. Get him in!

For the uncapped player I’ll be getting in Rahul Tripathi, if RPS bat first, as I won’t be able to afford Krunal Pandya then. If I get in Tahir though, I’ll be going in with Krunal Pandya. I can’t be getting in Rana because of the team combination.

Captain: Jos Buttler
