Quinton de Kock and Suryakumar Yadav starred for the Mumbai Indians as they ended another weekend at the top of the table in IPL 2020. Both de Kock and Yadav scored twin fifties which saw MI home, resulting in a fantasy stock price increase of 8.6% and 5% respectively. Earlier in the day, it was all about Shikhar Dhawan, who finally struck form in IPL 2020 with a well-composed fifty. As a result of a breakthrough knock against MI, Dhawan also saw his fantasy stock price soar by 12.2% in what was a productive day for most of his fantasy shareholders.It wasn't so ideal for some players who played in the first game on Sunday as English duo, Jonny Bairstow and Jos Buttler suffered a decrease of 5.3% and 5.5% respectively. Contrastingly, Manish Pandey continued his excellent form with a fifty and an increment of 6.7% to show for his efforts. The bowlers also had a say in the scheme of things with Jofra Archer standing out among his peers. Yet again, Archer conceded less than what he was expected to do (-8.2), helping his stock price rise by 2.3% in an RR win.As we continue to enjoy the gift of the IPL, we have a mouthwatering clash between KKR and RCB coming our way from Sharjah. More cricketing action means more opportunities for fantasy shareholders to flaunt their cricketing knowledge. Although the likes of Andre Russell and AB de Villiers are among the plethora of stars who are taking to the field on Monday, the spotlight is firmly on Virat Kohli and Shubman Gill ahead of this game. To kickstart your week, here's some much-needed insight into the match-up between a global superstar and one of the brightest prospects in world cricket!Master vs Apprentice - Can Gill outshine Virat?Virat Kohli and Shubman Gill have had a decent IPL so far. While Virat had a slow start to his IPL 2020 campaign, Shubman Gill has come off age for KKR with a couple of eye-catching knocks. It is safe to say that Gill has outshone his Indian captain albeit marginally. There isn't much to differentiate in terms of your usual stats, i.e. Runs and Strike-Rate. While Virat has scored 223 runs at a strike-rate of 128.9, Gill has managed to score 220 runs at 117.02. But here's where the context of the match comes into play. Virat Kohli averages a match score of 64.1, which is 2.5 less than what Shubman Gill manages in the purple and black of KKR. Another aspect where Gill stands out is the value of his wicket. His aggregate wicket value in IPL 2020 is 16.47, which is 6.18 more than what Virat Kohli's wicket has been worth in this IPL. Gill's knock against SRH, where he won the man-of-the-match award was an underrated one for KKR. Although he scored less than what he was expected to, Gill picked Rashid Khan to perfection, a bowler who is at the peak of his powers with a fantasy stock price of 77.60 Sixer Coins per Share. Gill has often gotten KKR off to a flyer and has dropped the anchor when required to do so as well in a manner that is reminiscent of his counterpart Virat Kohli. As both these individuals take to the field today, there will be a lot of expectations on their shoulders. While Virat Kohli, whose fantasy stock price has seen a whopping increase of 37.84% in his last five games, is sure to be a highly sought after stock, Shubman Gill could indeed assert himself with a stellar knock today. With both of them trading at 60.70 Sixer Coins and 65.30 Sixer Coins respectively, it could be Kohli and Gill's day given the batting-friendly conditions in Sharjah.AB de Villiers and Sunil Narine available for 53.10 Sixer Coins and 76.80 Sixer Coins!While the duo of Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli will definitely be in demand today, it doesn't end there. The likes of AB de Villiers (53.10 Sixer Coins per Share) and Sunil Narine (76.80 Sixer Coins per Share) are also viable options in the market. AB de Villiers has blown hot and cold this season although he already has three-match scores of over 50, which is a testament to his form. His wicket-keeping counterpart, Dinesh Karthik, is also in good touch as he comes into this game on the back of 93.89-rated match performance. At 45.80 Sixer Coins per Share, Dinesh Karthik's stock could be an absolute steal if his previous outing was any indication of things to come. So who are you backing today? Add fantasy player stocks to your portfolios and also keep an eye out for the 2:00 PM deadline.
