I have two players from this fixture and will make two regular and one uncapped transfer.

Transfers
Transfers Made: 2. | Transfers Remaining: 103.
1) David Warner (BAT) (DC) (10 Credits) - OUT | Mark Wood (BOWL) (LSG) (8.5 Credits) - IN
2) Axar Patel (ALL) (DC) (9 Credits) - OUT | KL Rahul (BAT) (LSG) (11 Credits) - IN
3) Mukesh Kumar (BOWL) (DC) (7 Credits) - OUT | Suyash Sharma (BOWL) (KKR) (4.5 Credits) - IN. (Uncapped Transfer).
This game is a bit confusing for me as a KL Rahul fan because I could stop with one transfer by bringing in Mark Wood. A red soil wicket is expected and while it should play well for the batters, it'll definitely have something for the pacers.
Rahul has looked completely out of sorts in the first four matches, but at this point in time, I almost feel like I have to pick him for the team, and I'll be rooting for him to score some runs.
As for the uncapped transfer, I'm not overly impressed by the prospects of players from this game, so I'm going with an option from the MI-KKR game in Suyash Sharma.
The Delhi Capitals (DC) will play next in match 28, and as a result, I'm taking out all their players.
