Chris Gayle stole the headlines on Friday as he became the first man to hit 1000 sixes in T20 cricket. But it wasn't just his six-hitting ability that was on show as Gayle scored a boundary-laden knock of 99, resulting in a fantasy stock price increase of 18%. However, Gayle ended up on the losing side as KXIP felt the brunt of Ben Stokes' supreme all-round performance, which was awarded a match score of 128.23! He came good with both bat and ball and was well complemented by Sanju Samson, whose quickfire 48 saw a fantasy stock price increase of 9.5%. Each and every bowler was taken to the cleaners apart from the usual suspect, Jofra Archer, who registered yet another 50+ match score in the IPL. He did account for a couple of wickets but the day belonged to Stokes and Gayle, whose price has reached a tournament-high! Also, three Pakistan players took part in the first ODI against Zimbabwe, with Shaheen Afridi and Wahab Riaz picking nine wickets between them and 50+ match scores to show for their efforts. As for Babar Azam, he experienced a dip of 2.97% although he is primed to reach his all-time high at the end of the series.Speaking of all-time highs, we have the Afghan leggie, Rashid Khan in action today as he takes on AB de Villiers and RCB in Sharjah. However, the first match of the day pits Mumbai Indians against Delhi Capitals with both sides looking for a top-two finish. Much of the Capitals' hopes will lie on the shoulders of Kagiso Rabada, who is the current Purple Cap holder in IPL 2020. However, he will have a tough test today in the form of Ishan Kishan, who has impressed at the top of the order. Without further ado, here some much-needed insight to kickstart your day in the Sixer Market!Will young Kishan get the better of Rabada? Stock Trading at 55.30 Sixer Coins per Share!Mumbai Indians haven't availed the services of Rohit Sharma over the last few games. However, they haven't felt his absence at the top of the order with Ishan Kishan revelling as an opener alongside Quinton de Kock. The opener averages a match score of 57.02 with a fantasy stock price increase of 20.3% in just three games. He even smashed a quick-fire fifty against CSK, which was his second 100+ score in IPL 2020, holding him in good stead ahead of this encounter. However, we will have his hands full against a red-hot Kagiso Rabada, who has picked a wicket in all but one game in IPL 2020 so far. Rabada, who is the current holder of the Purple Cap, has a match score average of 63.8 to show for his efforts although his previous game against SRH yielded a match score of just four. He would be looking to add some value to his stock at the expense of Kishan, who is known to have a problem against short pitch bowling. With Rabada being quite lethal with the white-ball in hand, we should be in for a great contest between the two. Either way, both players are likely to play more games in the IPL, courtesy of the playoffs, which could see their talent and ability dwarf their current prices of 55.50 Sixer Coins and 55.30 Sixer Coins per Share respectively.Apart from the two superstars, fantasy shareholders would be eyeing up a trade for Rishabh Pant, who did look against SRH although he is still due for a big knock in IPL 2020. Against an MI team that boasts of a strong bowling attack, Pant's audacity and fearlessness could well be pivotal for him and his fantasy stockholders. Against an in-form Jasprit Bumrah, Pant will be on his toes, but given his 2019 antics against the MI pacer, this could well be his day!28.3% Increase for Rashid! Will he weave his magic over RCB again?While a player might dream of one fine day, Rashid Khan is having a ball in the IPL so far. Rashid leads the charts for highest match score average (83.77), highest Expectation vs Runs Conceded average (+11.05) and the most wickets for a spinner (17) in IPL 2020. All of this has resulted in a 28.3% fantasy stock price increase to Rashid's fantasy shareholders, who will be tempted to hold him for another game given his record against RCB. Against RCB's premier batsmen, Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers, the Afghan leggie has held his own. Both of them have barely scored at a run-a-ball against Rashid, who has accounted for their wicket on three occasions. However, he will have to be extra careful about AB de Villiers, in particular, given his season-high match score of 111.78 coming at this same venue. Although de Villiers has been a bit inconsistent, his ability to win games is undoubted and should prove to be a great option at just 54.60 Sixer Coins per Share.Just as talented as AB de Villiers, Virat Kohli is also due for a big knock against SRH and with his stocks trading at a relative low of 57.20 Sixer Coins per Share, he is the perfect long term option as well. While his counterpart David Warner falls in the same bracket, one could opt for the spin of Yuzvendra Chahal as well, who should have a significant say in the proceedings today. With countless deals and limited shares in each player available, we are all set for a busy day in the Sixer Market. As we go through the final stretch of the IPL 2020 league phase, you are backing to make an impact in the last six games of the season? Add them to your portfolio and also keep an eye out for the 2:00 PM deadline for new supply!
