Ishan Kishan is the talk of the town in IPL 2020 and not even the pressure of a high-octane Qualifier was able to deter the pocket-sized dynamite on Thursday. Kishan scored yet another fifty against DC as Mumbai Indians stormed to the final courtesy of a whopping 57 run win in Dubai. As a result of Kishan's sixth consecutive 50+ match score, his price saw an increase of 7.7%, the second-highest among the Mumbai Indians. Jasprit Bumrah, who starred with the ball, had a fantasy stock price increase of 9.4% as he registered the highest bowling score in this competition of 105.05. The likes of Shikhar Dhawan and Shreyas Iyer fell victim to Bumrah with only Marcus Stoinis able to hold his own, whose knock resulted in a 27.1% increase.It wasn't the ideal day for the captains with both Rohit Sharma and Shreyas Iyer seeing their prices drop by nearly 7%. As we build towards the Eliminator, the spotlight will ideally be on the two captains, David Warner and Virat Kohli as SRH takes on RCB in Abu Dhabi. While David Warner is on a roll off a late, the same cannot be said about Virat, whose fantasy stock price has decreased by a fair bit in the last few games. As RCB's perennial worries with their bowling unit resurface again, what is actually hindering Virat's performances? Here's all you need to know about Virat and the Sixer Market ahead of the all-important Eliminator!Virat Kohli down by 8% in his last five games! Can he come up trumps in the Eliminator?There aren't many batsmen better than Virat Kohli in this format. The RCB captain is leading run-scorer in the history of the IPL although an IPL trophy still eludes him. This year, with a balanced squad in place, RCB and Virat Kohli came into the tournament with high hopes. Although Virat has a match score average of 57.20, it is safe to say that he isn't reached expectations this IPL. For starters, he has only achieved two 100+ scores this year, which has been a cause for concern for his fantasy shareholders. Although his price has risen by nearly 20% in this IPL, his form hasn't been too great with a Runs vs Expectation value in the negatives. His inability to get going in the middle overs hasn't helped him with Virat striking at only 122.01, his lowest since IPL 2012! The RCB captain has looked to keep wickets in hand towards the end, but a lack of a genuine finisher has forced Virat to throw his wicket a few times in the back-end. With added responsibility this year, Virat has been blowing hot and cold in IPL 2020, but it is only a matter of time for the star batsman!RCB, which is generally renowned for a star-studded top order, has opted for a better balance in the side. As a result of this approach, more of the batting load now falls on Virat Kohli, who has played second fiddle to the likes of AB de Villiers and Devdutt Padikkal, who has scored four fifties this season for RCB. However, RCB will need their captain to come to the fore against Rashid Khan, who currently tops the Sixer Market with his magical leg-spin in the middle overs. An able player of spin, Virat Kohli's ability to pick the ball and turn will be crucial against Rashid and co, who have been on fire in recent games. And adding India's tour of Australia later this month, a big knock and a fantasy increase might be around the corner for Virat Kohli, whose stocks currently trade at JUST 53.90 Sixer Coins per Share!Williamson and Chahal also in action! Who will come out on top?While one of the 'Fab Four' is eyeing a big score for RCB, another one patiently waits for an opportunity to pounce upon his rival on Friday! Kane Williamson, whose stocks are currently trading at 45.70 Sixer Coins per Share, hasn't been in the best of forms this season. He did show glimpses of his ability against KKR (56.80 Match Score) and CSK (97 Match Score) although that isn't nearly what he is capable of in this format. Generally an adept player of spin, he has also faced his fair share of troubles against them, but it can be attributed to his unfamiliarity at the number four spot for SRH. He is bound to be a popular option in the Sixer Market, especially with the West Indies touring New Zealand later this month. With Williamson set to the lead side, he might be the perfect long term trade!He wouldn't have it any easier on Friday, though, with Yuzvendra Chahal set for action! Chahal's fantasy stock price is up by 21% in his last nine games, which should hold him in good stead. With Chris Morris also being troubled with injuries, the onus falls on Chahal to deliver the wickets in the middle overs! If you aren't entirely sold on Williamson or Chahal, there's always the threat of David Warner, whose stocks if up by 28.55% in his last five games. With the three-time Orange Cap holder eyeing another big knock, fantasy shareholders wouldn't want to miss out on this one. So who are you backing in the final games of the IPL? Add them to your portfolio before they run out!
