Shimron Hetmyer was the star of the show for the Delhi Capitals as they beat Rajasthan Royals in a surprisingly one-sided affair in Sharjah. Despite Delhi's power-packed top order failing to get going against Jofra Archer (2.5% increase), Shimron Hetmyer steadied the ship and guided Delhi to a defendable total with a knock of 45 runs from just 24 balls. This knock helped his fantasy stock price go up by 16%, much to the delight of his fantasy shareholders. He was ably supported by Marcus Stoinis, whose fantasy stock increased by a further 10% courtesy of a composed knock of 39, in addition to a few wickets as well. Despite the target being well within their reach, the Royals top-order trio of Smith, Samson and Buttler failed against the likes of Rabada and Ashwin, both of whom registered increments on Thursday. Ashwin, in particular, was at his best as he conceded nine runs less than his expected value, which earned him a 7.2% increase and the man-of-the-match award as well.All in all, it was a thoroughly professional performance from Shreyas Iyer and co, whose bowlers did exceedingly well while defending 184 in Sharjah. As we try to fathom over the brilliance of Delhi Capitals duo Ravichandran Ashwin and Shimron Hetmyer, we have a double-header coming our way as KXIP take on KKR while MS Dhoni and CSK eye a crucial win over RCB today. Walking on the same lines, here is some much-needed insight to kickstart your weekend as the 2:00 PM deadline approaches.Can Dhoni continue his fine form against RCB? Trading at 46.30 Sixer CoinsMS Dhoni and CSK have endured a tough campaign so far with just two wins in six games. In search of an elusive third win in IPL 2020, Dhoni is set to lead his side against Virat Kohli's RCB in the second of two games today. While the focus has been on Faf du Plessis and Shane Watson in recent games, MS Dhoni's IPL record against the Royal Challengers Bangalore is definitely one to keep an eye out for in this game. Dhoni has scored 793 runs against RCB, the highest he has managed against an opposition. His average and strike-rate of 41.70 and 143.50 also add strength to his case, but it is his recent form against RCB that truly sets him apart from the rest. In his last three outings against RCB, Dhoni has scored 187 runs without being dismissed. In fact, he has scored 33.06 runs more than what he was expected to score with an average match score of 115.12. Also, Dhoni's average wicket value, the points accrued taking the context of the game into consideration, is nearly 9 with his wicket value of 15 in his last outing against RCB being one of the highest in IPL history. Having said that, Dhoni's recent form in IPL 2020 hasn't been too promising. His stock price has decreased by 7.19% over his last three games although he did show glimpses of his old self against SRH. Against a well-oiled RCB bowling unit for whom Chris Morris (64 Sixer Coins per Share) is available, MS Dhoni's pyrotechnics will be the need of the hour, especially at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium where teams are beginning to score more than 180 with relative ease. His fantasy stock price of 46.30 Sixer Coins per Share shouldn't be a put off although there are some concerns over his batting position. Considering his past performances against the Bangalore franchise, now could be the time to back the former Indian skipper to come good in the Sixer Market.Spoilt for Choice - Kohli, du Plessis and KL Rahul in action today!While Dhoni's fantasy shareholders will be hopeful of a match-winning knock, there are more viable options in the Sixer Market today! For starters, Indian captain Virat Kohli, whose stock is up by 34.56% in his last three games, should be available at 2:00 PM IST, although you need to have your skates on for that one. We also get to see two of the highest run-scorers in the competition, Faf du Plessis (64 Sixer Coins per Share) and KL Rahul (74.40 Sixer Coins per Share) in action with both of them looking to make up for their no-show in the previous game. If you're not too keen on batsmen fantasy stocks, there's no dearth in bowlers' fantasy stocks as well. The in-form duo of Mohammed Shami and Yuzvendra Chahal are also in the scheme of things, and if their IPL 2020 form is any indication of things to come, their fantasy shareholders are in for a profitable day. Also watch out for Chris Gayle (54.60 Sixer Coins per Share), who could make his first appearance of the season today. Considering his record against KKR of 649 runs including five 50+ scores, Gayle could be a sleeper pick in what should be an action-packed day in both the Sixer Market and IPL 2020. So what are you waiting for? Add player stocks to your portfolios and also keep an eye out for new supply at 2:00 PM IST!
