1) Hrithik Shokeen (BOWL) (MI) (6.5 Credits) - OUT | Rinku Singh (BAT) (KKR) (7 Credits) - IN. (Uncapped Transfer).
I'm writing this piece on the assumption that I won't be playing my Double Up Booster in this match, and I'm 70-30 in favor of not playing it as it stands. It obviously has been quite a while since we've had IPL action at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, but if memory serves us right, it was never a high-scoring venue.
With its large boundaries and spin-friendly wickets, it's a rare bowlers' paradise, and that usually doesn't make for a good points haul. However, there is always a chance that we will get a fresh wicket that plays well for the batters like we have seen on occasion at the stadium in Lucknow. I'll wait till we get the pitch report before taking my final call.
As for the uncapped transfer, I'm going for Rinku Singh from the second clash of tomorrow's double-header between KKR and DC since I don't have any other players from that fixture.
IPL Fantasy 2023 - Best Fantasy XI for Match 26 - RR vs LSG: Thoughts and Captaincy Tips
Players playing in Match 26: Yuzvendra Chahal (BOWL) (RR) (9.5 Credits), Sanju Samson (WK) (RR) (10 Credits), Trent Boult (BOWL) (RR) (9 Credits), Mark Wood (BOWL) (LSG) (8.5 Credits), and KL Rahul (BAT) (LSG) (11 Credits).
None of these five players are uncapped and all are solid captaincy picks in their own right. If the wicket is slow, Yuzvendra Chahal is on my mind as a captaincy option.
