Transfers
Transfers Made: 3. | Transfers Remaining: 17.
1) Moeen Ali (ALL) (CSK) (9.5 Credits) - OUT | Heinrich Klaasen (WK) (SRH) (8 Credits) - IN
2) Ravindra Jadeja (ALL) (CSK) (10 Credits) - OUT | Shubman Gill (BAT) (GT) (9.5 Credits) - IN
3) Virat Kohli (BAT) (RCB) (11 Credits) - OUT | Hardik Pandya (ALL) (GT) (11 Credits) - IN
4) Rinku Singh (BAT) (KKR) (7 Credits) - OUT | Abhishek Sharma (ALL) (SRH) (8 Credits) - IN (Uncapped Transfer).
I'm insisting on making an extra transfer in this match to get one more SRH player in - Heinrich Klaasen. The Orange Army play thrice till the end of the group stage compared to some sides who have only one or two games left. Klaasen is yet to win a POTM award in IPL 2023, and this could well be the game.
Shubman Gill is a must-have when GT is playing at Ahmedabad, and while it was a tough toss-up between Hardik Pandya and Rashid Khan, especially after the latter's monstrous performance at the Wankhede, I'm backing the GT skipper to come good in this game.
Abhishek Sharma is the only uncapped player who stands out as an option ahead of this match, although the threat of GT shining with the new ball remains.
IPL Fantasy 2023 - Best Fantasy XI for Match 62 - GT vs SRH: Thoughts and Captaincy Tips
Players playing in Match 62: Abhishek Sharma (ALL) (SRH) (8 Credits), Heinrich Klaasen (WK) (SRH) (8 Credits), Aiden Markram (BAT) (SRH) (9 Credits), Mohammed Shami (GT) (BOWL) (9 Credits), Shubman Gill (BAT) (GT) (9.5 Credits), and Hardik Pandya (ALL) (GT) (11 Credits).
With six players on the team, captaincy won't be easy for this match. One thing I can say for sure, however, is that I'm not considering Aiden Markram as a batter who can bowl because it sure was shocking to see him bowl Glenn Phillips over himself despite seeing left-handers bat at the crease for an extended period of time. Shubman Gill's record in Ahmedabad makes him the captaincy favorite.
