Shikhar Dhawan continued his fine form in IPL 2020 as Delhi Capitals beat Rajasthan Royals in a close encounter on Wednesday. Dhawan registered his second consecutive match-score of above 100 courtesy of his fastest IPL fifty. This saw him exceed expectations by nearly 16 runs, helping his fantasy stock price rise by a match-high 10.3%!. He was ably supported by skipper Shreyas Iyer (4.4% increase), who also scored a fifty for Delhi after they had lost both Shaw and Rahane cheaply. Both of them were accounted for by a rampant Jofra Archer, whose spell of 3 for 19 earned his fantasy shareholders a profit of 4.9% on Wednesday. In the process, Archer registered his highest bowling score of the season (64.64), which should hold him in good stead in the coming weeks.Despite the target being achievable, the duo of Steve Smith and Jos Buttler faltered yet again with Ben Stokes holding his own with a knock of 41. Despite the Englishman scoring less than his expectations (-2.86), his fantasy stock did see a rise of nearly 2% although his knock did go in vain in the end. As Delhi currently tops the table with this win, RCB has a chance to topple them as they face bottom-placed KXIP in Sharjah today. Although the focus would ideally be on Virat Kohli or KL Rahul, it is all about T20 veteran Chris Gayle in the build-up to this game. As we approach the 2:00 PM deadline, here's some much-needed insight to help you add stocks to your portfolio!Chris Gayle is all set for action against RCB!The Universe Boss, Chris Gayle is all set for action in IPL 2020 as he takes on his former team RCB in Sharjah. Gayle was surprisingly dropped by KXIP despite having excellent numbers from them over the last few years. Chris Gayle has scored 858 runs in the red of Punjab with a strike-rate of 150.3. What really throws light upon his impact is his match score average of 54.60. He even has a hundred to his name in KXIP colours which adds even more value to his case. His addition could add much-needed stability to the KXIP unit for whom only KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal have been performing consistently. Considering how KL Rahul is spurred in the presence of Chris Gayle, we could witness some fireworks in Sharjah.Talking about fireworks, AB de Villiers lit up the stadium with a boundary laden knock against KKR earlier in the week. His fantasy price has seen an increase of 5.71% over his last three games despite not scoring many runs. However, this isn't a worry at all for AB de Villiers' fantasy stockholders with the former Proteas skipper averaging a match score of 70.74 since IPL 2018. His strike-rate of 167.67 is second to only Andre Russell in this period with his Runs Scored vs Expectation value being a whopping 170.67! For a player of such talent, AB de Villiers has great numbers although he would be itching to get another big score against KXIP today. Given his knock in IPL 2019 against them yielded a match score of 138.83, KXIP bowlers will be wary of Mr. 360, who shows no signs of slowing down. Trading at 54.60 Sixer Coins per Share and 70.74 Sixer Coins per Share, Chris Gayle and AB de Villiers' stocks are sure to be in massive demand in the build-up to this much-awaited encounter. With the short Sharjah boundaries also coming into play, now wouldn't be a bad time to add them to your portfolios as well!Can KL Rahul inflict more damage upon the RCB bowlers?Another viable option is KXIP skipper KL Rahul, who is currently trading at 77.60 Sixer Coins per Share at the time of writing. Although his price is a put-off, his performances have been of the highest order with the former RCB wicket-keeper currently donning the Orange Cap as well. In fact, the last time KL Rahul played against RCB, he registered his second IPL hundred and a 150 match score to show for his efforts. Although he would love to repeat the trick, RCB's bowling unit bares a different look with the addition of Chris Morris (73.10 Sixer Coins per Share). Rahul's battle with Sundar, who is conceding just 4.58 runs in the powerplay this IPL, will be an exciting one for potential fantasy shareholders.That's not all. Indian superstar Virat Kohli is also available in the Sixer Market for 59.30 Sixer Coins per Share while the in-form duo of Mayank Agarwal (63.70 Sixer Coins per Share) and Yuzvendra Chahal (57.50 Sixer Coins per Share) are also more than viable options. Perhaps you could pull a bunny out of the hat with shares of Shivam Dube at 39.40 Sixer Coins per Share. So what are you still waiting for? Add fantasy player stocks to your portfolio and keep an eye out for the 2:00 PM deadline for new supply!
