A fairytale turnaround was completed by KXIP as they sneaked into the coveted fourth spot after beating KKR on Monday. Their bowlers, Mohammed Shami and Chris Jordan, were on the money again as they oversaw a fantasy price increase of 6.1% and 8.2% respectively. While the duo of Nitish Rana and Dinesh Karthik's fantasy prices saw a massive drop of 8.6% and 10.2% respectively, KKR did show some resistance in the form of Shubman Gill, whose seventh IPL fifty resulted in a whopping 11.5% increase. Although there were some hopes of a KKR win in the second innings, Chris Gayle squashed them with a blistering fifty, which saw him score nearly 10 runs more than his expected value.Nevertheless, Shubman Gill would be happy with his day's work after being named in the Indian Test side on Monday. However, the big talking point in the cricketing circle is the exclusion of Rishabh Pant from the T20 side. Blessed with immense talent and ability, Pant has underperformed season, but there's a lot more context to his disappointing performances, which might have played a role in his exclusion. To kickstart your day in the Sixer Market, here is some much-needed insight ahead of the 2:00 PM deadline for new supply.Is India T20 snub a blessing in disguise for Pant?Rishabh Pant is a prodigious talent! Ever since his IPL debut in 2016, he has been earmarked as MS Dhoni's successor in this format. His performances in this tournament since 2018 have been exemplary, and his run tally of nearly 1350 runs is second to only KL Rahul. However, Pant hasn't performed well this season with there being questions over his fitness as well. Although Pant's price has dropped marginally over the last few games, there's more than what just meets the eye!Pant might have underwhelmed in this season, but his price has actually increased by 15.5% in IPL 2020! In the eight games, he has played this season, he has four 50+ match scores with two of his lowest match scores coming after his return from injury. If that's not enough to lure you into a trade, Pant's record against SRH should. Pant has scored 356 runs against SRH in his IPL career at a strike-rate above 150. In fact, Pant's highest IPL score of 128 also came against SRH, which should add to his case in the Sixer Market. Although the pitches are nowhere similar to the one at the Feroz Shah Kotla, Pant's immense talent can dwarf any bowling attack. With a big knock just around the corner, now would be the right time for Rishabh Pant to finally silence his critics and reinstate his credentials as the premier wicket-keeping batsman in the country. Only time would tell if he can prove the selectors wrong, but for now, his stock price of 45.20 Sixer Coins could see a massive increment if Pant were to repeat his 2018 antics! With no pressure on his shoulders, there's no telling how far Pant's price could rise up to in the Sixer Market.Last chance saloon for Warner and Rahane! Who are you backing?We are into the final phase of the IPL as SRH are on the verge of elimination. Although their team hasn't changed much from last year, David Warner's drop in run-scoring production has been detrimental to their fortunes. Warner scored 692 runs in 12 games last season. At the same stage this time around, Warner has only 370 runs to his name. Although this isn't a bad run tally, his drop-off hasn't given SRH the luxury of fielding an extra bowler. However, he will be keen to get going against DC, against whom he had registered a match score performance of 82.46 earlier in the season. Against Rabada and co, he will need to be at his best if he were to add value to his stock price of 59 Sixer Coins per Share!Another batsman who is under a lot of pressure right now is Ajinkya Rahane, who hasn't achieved a Sixer match score of more than 40 so far in IPL 2020. Although Rahane's fantasy stock price of 39.20 Sixer Coins per Share is a fair reflection of his form, he is much more able that what his fantasy stock price suggests with there being room for a massive increase, especially with the Mumbaikar being included in the Indian Test team, which plays Australia later in this year! Apart from the two veterans, there are a lot of viable deals waiting for a buyer such as Shimron Hetmyer's stock, which is trading at 41.10 Sixer Coins per Share. Not to forget, the best leg-spinner in the world, Rashid Khan, who has already seen a 19.56% increase in his last nine IPL games. So who are you going to add to your portfolio ahead of today's marquee game? Keep an eye out for new supply at 2:00 PM IST!
