Unadkat Reigns Supreme with 13.8% Increase; Can Faf and Gayle Replicate their IPL 2020 Form?

Jaydev Unadkat saw a massive spike in his fantasy price after a stellar performance against the Delhi Capitals! But who else made an impact in the Sixer Market? Find out in today's Daily Insight

What a day it was in the Sixer Market with Chris Morris and Rishabh Pant seeing their stocks soar by nearly 9%. But it was all about Jaydev Unadkat, who had a mesmerizing first outing in this year's IPL. The left-arm picked three wickets inside the powerplay to lead Rajasthan Royals to a crucial victory at the expense of Delhi Capitals. Unadkat registered his first 100+ match score in four seasons as his price rose by 13.8% on Thursday alone.However, it wasn't a day for the batsman as no top-order batsman could get into double-digits. Jos Buttler, who was shifted to the top of the order, is now available for just 46.40 Sixer Coins per Share, which a lot of fantasy shareholders would be keeping tabs on in the coming days. Although Delhi and Woakes (7% increase) tried to sneak a win, Chris Morris' blinder in the death overs ensured the Royals a win.It doesn't stop here in the IPL nor in the Market! We've got a mouthwatering clash between Chennai Super Kings and Punjab Kings today at the Wankhede. While the focus is likely to be on the two captains KL Rahul and MS Dhoni, who is priced at just 33.00 Sixer Coins, we cast our eye upon two veterans of the game in Chris Gayle and Faf du Plessis. Without further ado, here's some much-needed insight to kickstart your day!A Point to Prove - Gayle and du Plessis Lock Horns at the Wankhede!The funny thing about Gayle and du Plessis is that either of them played for the Quetta Gladiators in the PSL not long ago. Faf came in as Gayle's replacement, a like-for-like one, and rightly so. Both of them have the ability to open the batting or even drop down to number three. Either of them has multiple hundreds in their T20 career, and despite being on the wrong side of 35, they are still going strong.One only needs to look as far as their IPL 2020 stats. Faf du Plessis was one of a few bright spots in an otherwise abject CSK campaign. The Proteas batsman scored 449 runs in 13 games with a couple of fifties against Punjab Kings, the very opponent he faces off against today. He had a match score average of 65.00, resulting in a price increment of nearly 41%. Although he did take his time initially, Faf came to the fore with some sparkling knocks towards the end of the tournament.As for his counterpart, Chris Gayle was asked to do something he had never done - bat at three. Well, he did bat at three before but not to any degree of success. But Gayle was a man possessed. His ability to take on the spinners will make him a unique addition at the number three slot as he registered a match score average of 70.93. While his price peaked at 71 Sixer Coins per Share, the IPL saw his price move up by 21.50%. Although he could drag Punjab to the playoffs, he managed to launch a comeback into the Windies T20I set-up after his reinvention in the Punjab batting unit.As for Gayle and Faf today, both are reasonably priced at 58.10 Sixer Coins per Share and 48.50 Sixer Coins per Share. While they didn't have the best of outings in the first round of fixtures, they are set to play a major role for their respective sides batting in the top order. With Wankhede being the venue for this epic clash between Chennai Super Kings and Punjab Kings, loads of runs are on offer for both of them to cash in on.If not for the duo, you've still got the likes of Sam Curran, Moeen Ali and KL Rahul to invest in. Not to mention, MS Dhoni is trading at a paltry 33.00 Sixer Coins per Share! Who do you think will have a bigger say in the coming weeks? Don't forget to invest in the English players playing in the England County Championship!
