CSK & PBKS bowlers at Wankhede:
Shardul in second ☑️
Bravo in first ☑️
Section 8: Finding the fantasy value:
Top picks:
Lokesh Rahul: Default captaincy pick in small leagues and there’s no reason why he shouldn’t be your captain. Incredible numbers at Wankhede and good numbers against CSK as well.
KL in his last 4 innings at Wankhede has four consecutive 90+ scores, including a 100
KL’s last 5 scores at Wankhede: 91, 91, 100*, 94, 4
KL’s last 5 innings vs CSK: 29(27), 63(52), 71(36), 55(47), 7(11)
Captaincy suitability: Small & grand leagues both.
Chris Gayle: Looked good in the last game and no express quick bowler to trouble Gayle with pace & bounce. And also, has done well against Moeen who could have been another threat with his off spin. Exactly the kind of bowling lineup that Gayle likes and also has good numbers at Wankhede.
Captaincy suitability: Small & grand leagues both.
Faf: His recent form might be a bit of concern, but his numbers against PBKS are his best in IPL.
Faf vs PBKS: (His most runs & highest average against any IPL side)
| Innings | 10 |
| Runs | 502 |
| Average | 55.8 |
| SR | 149.9 |
| 50 | 6 |
| HS | 96 (also his highest IPL score) |
In the last 7 innings vs PBKS, his average is massive 70.17
Has 5 fifties against PBKS in last 7 innings: 48, 87*, 96, 54, 14, 67 & 55
Captaincy suitability: Small & grand leagues both.
Another good choices for small leagues are Raina & Moeen.
Grand league pick:
Jhye & Meredith (bowling first): CSK have struggled against express pace. In fact, they had the second worst SR against bowlers who bowl over 145 kmph and KXIP have two Aussie quicks who consistently bowl around the same speed. Both were below par in the first game, but can be very good picks in GL’s bowling first.
Captaincy suitability: Grand leagues only. (Can consider Jhye in SL’s too, bowling first)
