David Warner and SRH stormed into the play-offs with an utterly sensational performance against MI on Tuesday. Having restricted MI to a modest total, David Warner made sure that SRH faced no hiccups with a masterful 85*, which saw his price soar by nearly 8% in the Sixer Market! The bowlers were also spot-on for SRH with Sandeep Sharma picking 3 wickets, resulting in a 3% increase. Although Mumbai Indians did rest Bumrah and Boult, the returning Rohit Sharma couldn't do much with his fantasy stock price dropping by 7.8%. Despite the best efforts of Kieron Pollard, whose price saw a 7.6% increase, SRH cruised to a sensational win to book a knockout match against RCB on Friday.While Warner and Pollard stole the limelight in the final IPL 2020 league match, there was another individual who showed glimpses of what he has been doing all through the IPL this season. Ishan Kishan has long been touted as one for the future but didn't have consistency on his side in the past two seasons. However, 2020 has been a breakthrough year for the pocket-sized dynamite with 428 runs and a man-of-the-match award to show for his efforts as well. He is, in fact, one of the top-performing stocks in IPL 2020, which makes him one to watch out for in the play-offs as well. As fantasy shareholders contemplate over potential trades for the play-offs, here's some much-needed insight to help you out!Added Responsibility and Calculated Approach - 50% Increase for Kishan Stocks in IPL 2020It did come off a huge surprise when Ishan Kishan's name wasn't in the team sheet for the tournament opener between MI and CSK. His first taste of IPL 2020 action came against RCB nearly a week later and boy it was some introduction! Chasing a daunting score against RCB and with the likes of de Kock and Rohit Sharma already in the dug-out, Ishan Kishan scored a whirlwind knock of 99, which saw him register his first 150 match score in his career. This knock truly solidified his place in the playing 11 although it was followed by a dull period in the middle. Kishan couldn't get a 75+ match score in the next 6 games, which once again threw light over his inability to score consistently. At a time when Kishan was looking for consistency, his captain Rohit Sharma's injury handed him a promotion to the top of the order, and he didn't miss out on it. With a license to kill at the top of the order, Kishan went about his work briskly with a couple of 100+ match scores alongside Quinton de Kock, who played the perfect second fiddle. Kishan notched up five consecutive scores of 50 and above, which has already propelled him into the good books of potential shareholders. But to understand why Kishan's fantasy shareholders have seen such a rise lies within the numbers!It was a season of two halves for Kishan. Although he scored 186 runs in the first six games, it was primarily inflated by his stunning 99 in the very first game. His wicket value aggregate was 15.98 while a Runs vs Expectation value of 9.84 was a slight cause for concern. However, in the second half of the IPL, Kishan's promotion to the top of the order helped relieve some pressure off his shoulders with the likes of Pollard and Suryakumar Yadav waiting in the wings behind him. This showed in his numbers as well with Kishan scoring more freely with a Runs vs Expectation value of 14.59. He scored 242 runs at an average of 60.5, which is undoubtedly the best stretch of scores he has had in his IPL career. As a result of his consistent performances, his IPL 2020 price increase of 50% is second to only Jofra Archer's 64%, highlighting the value of a long term trade! Kishan's stock currently trades at 62.70 Sixer Coins per Share, which might be a put-off for a few fantasy shareholders. But if his recent performances are taken into account, Kishan could well top the Sixer Market by the look of things!Rohit, Warner or Kohli - Who will lead their side to glory in IPL 2020?The IPL play-offs were confirmed after the final league match as SRH, and David Warner will now take on Virat Kohli and his RCB side on 6th November while Rohit Sharma leads MI against DC tomorrow. While the likes of Jasprit Bumrah and Devdutt Padikkal starred this season, the captains Rohit, Warner and Kohli have left some room for improvement and a potential increase in their fantasy stock prices. While David Warner has got going in the last few games with a couple of fifties to his name, Rohit Sharma has been struggling with injury, and in his only game in the previous few weeks against SRH, he managed to score only four runs. Virat Kohli's dip in fantasy stock price is a much more intriguing one with the batting maestro unable to get going in the middle overs, which is one of RCB's main concerns heading into the play-offs. Nevertheless, both Rohit and Kohli are among the best white-ball cricketers in the world, and their current prices of 53,3 Sixer Coins per Share and 53.9 Sixer Coins per Share might not be a fair reflection of their ability and reputation. With only the best of the best able to handle the pressures of a knockout fixture, one would ideally turn towards the captains, in this case, Warner, Rohit and Kohli, to do the business. Their fortunes will be critical to their respective teams and also the fantasy shareholders who will be looking to close out the IPL with a bang!It isn't just about the IPL play-offs as well with several international tours being organised later this month. Perhaps, you could pluck out a bargain such as Tom Banton, Mohammed Rizwan or even Ajinkya Rahane, who plays both in the play-offs and in the Test format for India! An intriguing phase of trading awaits fantasy shareholders as we approach the conclusion of IPL 2020! Who are you backing to hand you a hefty profit?
