Despite the IPL concluding a fortnight ago, there hasn't been any dearth in activity in the Sixer Market at all! Over 20 players were added to the Sixer Player Roster over the last week or so with some of the best players in the world in Dawid Malan, Marnus Labuschagne and even a few youngsters such as Cameron Green and Janneman Malan making the cut. While fantasy shareholders contemplate over the new additions, the recently-concluded IPL provides much-needed context for several existing players in the roster, which could be the driving force behind a trade. With the blockbuster series between England and South Africa fast approaching, the spotlight would undoubtedly be on the wicket-keeping duo of Quinton de Kock and Jos Buttler. Perhaps the best in the world, both of them are trading at a reasonable price of 55.80 Sixer Coins and 63.60 Sixer Coins, which does throw some light over their ability. With the duo playing a significant role for their respective teams in the IPL, de Kock and Buttler come into this tour with some form or momentum on their side. Walking along the same lines, here is some much-needed insight on the highly-rated battle of the keepers between RSA captain Quinton de Kock and England's Jos Buttler!De Kock and Buttler up by 18.1% and 8.1% respectively in IPL 2020!Quinton de Kock and Jos Buttler are arguably the best white-ball cricketers of their respective countries. Their records speak for themselves as they did their performances in the recently-concluded IPL. Quinton de Kock, in particular, had a great stint with eventual champions Mumbai Indians. He scored 503 runs at an average of nearly 40. Although he started the tournament with a string of low scores, de Kock hit his stride in the middle phase with four consecutive fifty-plus match scores for MI. His ability to take on the best bowlers in the opposition often made it easy for the rest of the MI batsmen with Suryakumar Yadav and Ishan Kishan reaping the benefits alongside him. His match score average of 64.40 Sixer Coins per Share was the second-highest among wicket-keepers in the IPL, which should give him much-needed confidence ahead of this clash with the English bowlers.On the other hand, we have Jos Buttler, whose penchant for pyrotechnics is well known among the cricketing fraternity. Although Buttler was used more as a finisher in this year's IPL, he managed to come up with some sparkling knocks. His 142-rated match score against CSK was the cherry on the top, which contributed significantly to his match score average of 55.71. While one might point out that his run tally of 368 runs might be slightly underwhelming for a man of Buttler's talents, his fantasy stock price did rise by 8.1%, throwing light on the impact he had for Rajasthan Royals! Along with de Kock, Buttler was among the highest-scoring wicket-keepers, which should hold him in good stead, especially considering his fantasy price of 55.80 Sixer Coins per Share! Adding in de Kock's fantasy stock price of 63.60 Sixer Coins per Share into the equation, fantasy shareholders are in with an intriguing question - Who will come up trumps in the Battle of the Keepers in South Africa?Battle of the Keepers - Will de Kock's class trump Buttler's explosive batting?While both keepers had a successful IPL 2020, international cricket is a whole different ball game. However, what differentiates the best from the rest is their ability to adapt, which Buttler and de Kock have done over the last few seasons with perfection. De Kock is one of the top run-scorers in the ODI format for South Africa with the Proteas skipper having a good record in home conditions as well. Also, de Kock would be keen to take on the English bowlers who will try to get the better of him with pace and swing. His counterpart, Jos Buttler, is a whole different proposition. Adept at playing both spin and speed, Buttler is the complete package and has often been used a floater by the English. Given South Africa's visible lack of quality in middle overs bowling, Jos Buttler's fantasy stock price of 55.80 Sixer Coins per Share could soar in a few weeks!There are a few others who are as viable as Jos Buttler and Quinton de Kock in the Sixer Market such as Steve Smith, Marnus Labuschagne and Virat Kohli, all of whom are in high demand over the last few days. With just a couple of days remaining for the resumption of international cricket, who are you backing in the Market?
