IPL 2017 Fantasy Guide: Fantasy Tips for Rising Pune Supergiant vs Sunrisers Hyderabad

IPL Fantasy League

Transfer out: Krunal Pandya, Basil Thampi

Transfer in: Ben Stokes/Imran Tahir, Rahul Tripathi

Now, I already have David Warner, Bhuvi and Rashid Khan in my team for this game!

I’ll be making just one substitution for this game and it would be either of Imran Tahir or Ben Stokes(I opt out of Steve Smith because a bowler(Tahir) gives you more assurance with the number of points and an all rounder has dual scoring opportunities)

While Ben Stokes hasn’t done anything of much note as of now, his all round abilities could make you tilt a little bit towards him. But he could very well be cleaned up by Rashid Khan in the middle overs.

Now, when there is no ideal way to tell as to which of them could reap better benefits, we’ll have to let the toss decide for us.

Ben Stokes double scoring option will come in handy when he scores big with the bat, and thus I would get him in if RPS bat first, as he could be bogged down under pressure while batting second(not everyone is Virat Kohli).

If RPS bowl second, I’ll be getting in Imran Tahir. Now, if you want to go with the safest choice possible, you should go in with Imran Tahir, as Stokes could hole out to Rashid and end up with zero wickets.

I won’t be getting in any other player from this game, as I won’t be able to carry them till their next matches.

For the uncapped player, I’ll be getting in Rahul Tripathi. He has been excellent in the two games that he has played, helping Pune get that brisk start that they so desperately need. Get him in!

Captain: Bhuvi/Imran Tahir(whoever bowls first)
