The Mumbai Indians will take on the Punjab Kings in the 42nd match of Vivo IPL 2021 on Tuesday at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi. It'll be the second game of a double-header.
Players playing in Match 41: Varun Chakravarthy (BOWL) (KKR) (8 Credits), Venkatesh Iyer (ALL) (KKR) (6 Credits), Shreyas Iyer (BAT) (DC) (9.5 Credits), Kagiso Rabada (BOWL) (DC) (10.5 Credits), and Nitish Rana (BAT) (KKR) (8.5 Credits).
Credits Remaining: 0.5.

Like in the last game, I have two players from this match, and will make two regular and one uncapped transfer for this match.
Deadline for Transfers: 7:30 PM IST on Tuesday, 28th September.
Note: The team suggested in the article isn't guaranteed to be the final selection. In case of any unexpected team news at the toss, players will have to make required adjustments, which will then be updated in the article for the next match.
Transfers
Transfers used: 2, Transfers remaining: 32.
1) Shreyas Iyer (BAT) (DC) (9.5 Credits) - OUT | KL Rahul (WK) (PBKS) (11.5 Credits) - IN.
2) Kagiso Rabada (BOWL) (DC) (10.5 Credits) - OUT | Jasprit Bumrah (BOWL) (MI) (11 Credits)- IN.
3) Nitish Rana (BAT) (KKR) (8.5 Credits) - OUT | Harpreet Brar (BOWL) (PBKS) (6.5 Credits) - IN. (Uncapped Transfer).
KL Rahul and Jasprit Bumrah are my two transfers in for this match. Rahul has been pretty consistent against MI, and should step up in this crunch game for the team. On the other hand, Bumrah seems to be in good form, and he has troubled the PBKS batters more than any other MI bowler. He offers a good bowling threat for MI.
I've gone with Harpreet Brar as my uncapped pick because I couldn't afford Bishnoi. He could offer IPL Fantasy value with the bat and the ball, and is a decent pick at 6.5 Credits.
Best IPL Fantasy Team for Match 42 - MI vs PBKS

I'm usually confident for PBKS matches, and I'm backing Rahul and Arshdeep to get some good points.
Suryakumar Yadav should score runs sooner or later, and he could deliver with points on the line for MI. Jasprit Bumrah has delivered IPL Fantasy points in the last two games, and he could continue that streak in this game too. I won't have any credits left in the bank after that.
Best IPL Fantasy Team for Match 42 - Summary

Players playing in Match 42: Suryakumar Yadav (MI) (BAT) (9.5 Credits), Arshdeep Singh (BOWL) (PBKS) (7.5 Credits), KL Rahul (WK) (PBKS) (11.5 Credits), Jasprit Bumrah (BOWL) (MI) (11 Credits), and Harpreet Brar (BOWL) (PBKS) (6.5 Credits).
Captaincy: KL Rahul and Jasprit Bumrah are the top contenders for captaincy. Suryakumar Yadav is also an option to consider, but his lack of recent returns makes him a slightly unattractive pick.
