Manish Up by 21% as Archer Continues Meteoric Rise; Can Boult Follow Suit?

23-Oct-20

Jofra Archer was at it again with the ball in hand, but it wasn't meant to be RR's day as Manish Pandey led SRH to a stunning win on Thursday. Despite Archer's economical spell in the powerplay, Pandey slammed an unbeaten fifty, courtesy of which his price rose by a whopping 21%. Despite losing both Warner (10% decrease) and Bairstow (3.5% decrease), Pandey's knock kept SRH in the hunt for a playoff place in IPL 2020 with only a few games left in the tournament. Earlier in the day, SRH had Jason Holder to thank for an impactful performance resulting in a match score of 62.38. As for the RR batsmen, it wasn't a great day in the office with only Sanju Samson (+7.1%) able to do some good to his stock in this fixture.All in all, it was a vintage display from Manish Pandey, who completely overshadowed Jofra Archer's stunning rise in the Sixer Market of 42% in his last ten games - staggering numbers for a bowler. Just imagine being an owner of Archer's stock for that period!Although it is a missed opportunity, there's a similar proposition in store for fantasy shareholders on Friday. Another world-class bowler in Trent Boult is in the spotlight with his stock price of 53.10 Sixer Coins being slightly underwhelming for a man of his talent. The left-arm pacer comes into this game on the back of a woeful performance against KXIP although this isn't the first time it has happened this season. Slated to bowl to the CSK batsmen tomorrow, a lot is riding on Boult and his thunderbolts with the new ball. How viable is his stock in the long run? Let's find out!7 50+ scores in 9 matches for Boult! Can he do an Archer?Jofra Archer has been the best performing stock in the IPL with a stunning stock price increase of 42% in his last ten games. Although he hasn't been as impressive as the Englishman, Boult has also done his bit with the ball for Mumbai Indians. His stock did drop against KXIP earlier in the month but his consistency with the ball was on show with a stock price increase of 8.2% following that decrease. He didn't concede many runs as well with a Runs Conceded vs Expectation value of -10 throwing light over his ability in this format. Although his stock did drop considerably after his previous game, one must consider the fact that Boult had seven fifty-plus match scores in nine games, both of his failures coming against KXIP. If he were to replicate the same form he displayed against the other six teams in the reverse fixture, his price would breach the 65 Sixer Coins mark! With Sharjah providing some swing as well, watch out for those thunderbolts from Boult today. Also, New Zealand is slated to take on West Indies after the IPL, adding more strength to his case for a trade. Don't miss out on his stocks, which are now trading at 53.10 Sixer Coins per Share.Rohit down by 12.31% in last five matches! Will he overturn his form?Like Trent Boult, Rohit Sharma also had a bad outing against KXIP in the previous game. Rohit couldn't manage many runs against the likes of Shami and Jordan as his price dropped to 58.20 Sixer Coins per Share. Although his fantasy shareholders would be breathing heavily, there isn't much to worry about the Hitman and his form. He has a decent record against CSK even though his previous outing against them yielding a match score of only 32. Rohit's nemesis this season has been leg-spin although he is known to be a good player of spin. Despite the possible inclusion of Imran Tahir for this game, Rohit Sharma's experience and ability to utilise the shorter dimensions of the ground in Sharjah point towards a big payday for his fantasy shareholders.His counterpart, MS Dhoni, is also not in the best of forms in IPL 2020. Although his price is on the verge of slipping below the 40 Sixer Coins mark, one can take comfort from the fact that Dhoni's second-highest match score this season (62.13) came at Sharjah. Also, Dhoni wouldn't have much pressure on him to perform given CSK's standing in the points table, which could mean a promotion in the batting order. He will have to be wary of Jasprit Bumrah (71.30 Sixer Coins per Share), who comes into this game on the back off four consecutive 70+ match scores. With the likes of Faf du Plessis (55.60 Sixer Coins per Share) and Kieron Pollard (58.90 Sixer Coins per Share) also set to grace the field, fantasy shareholders are in for a busy day in the Market!
