Another week passes by as we inch closer to the start of the IPL, which commences from April 9th. But before we jump into the thick of things, here are the top performers and not so top performers over the last week or so!Bull #1: KL RahulForm is Temporary, Class is Permanent! Well, in this case it is KLass is Permanent! After a few failures had seen his price drop to an all-time low. Critics and fans had suggested dropping Rahul for the in-form Suryakumar Yadav or Rishabh Pant in the ODIs. However, Rahul has silenced his critics in his trademark style. The Indian wicketkeeper smashed one hundred and one fifty in the ODI series, handing his fantasy shareholders a 22% increase. He averaged a match score of just over 82, holding him in good stead ahead of the IPL. At 50.90 Sixer Coins per Share, KL Rahul is reasonably priced at the moment, which could translate into another profitable acquisition given his IPL record for the Punjab Kings!Bear #1: Rohit SharmaWhile KL Rahul had a series to cherish, this wasn't the case with Rohit Sharma and his fantasy shareholders. After a highly successful T20I and Test series, all signs suggested another profitable series for Rohit. But it wasn't meant to be that way. Rohit Sharma struggled to convert his starts into his typically huge knocks that make him the player he is in international cricket. He averaged a match score of just 34.73, resulting in a price drop of 7.78%. While this may not seem a big decrease, Rohit Sharma's current fantasy valuation of 51.30 Sixer Coins might be enticing enough for fantasy shareholders to back him going into the IPL. With only a few days left for the T20 extravaganza, there might be value in adding Rohit's stocks to your portfolios.Bull #2: Josh InglisWe move away from the Indian subcontinent to the Trans-Tasman territory for our next two inclusions. First up is Josh Inglis, who is quitely adding value to his fantasy stocks for Western Australia. The diminutive wicket-keeper is up by 18.69% despite batting lower down the order in both the Sheffield Shield and the Marsh One Day Cup. He averaged a match score of 74.84 during the week, second to only Rishabh Pant among wicket-keepers. Similar to Pant, Inglis also relies on daredevilry to get going and if he were to replicate Pant in the coming weeks, Inglis could be in for international honours soon!Bear #2: Mustafizur RahmanLast but not least comes Mustafizur Rahman, who hasn't been in his elements on Bangladesh's tour of New Zealand so far. The left-armer averaged a paltry 23.12 over the last few days, seeing his price drop to 43.50 Sixer Coins per Share. Although Mustafizur has regained some of the old magic he used to display during 2016-17, he hasn't been consistent enough with his lines and lengths. Although Fiz might not seem a great acquisition, he certainly is a shrewd one considering he might be Rajasthan Royals' first choice bowler after Jofra Archer's injury. At 43.50 Sixer Coins, Mustafizur Rahman presents a decent option but is he worth backing in a market full of Bumrahs and Boults? Only time will tell!
