Grand League Punts
> CSK have plenty of batters in form. Each of their top four - Devon Conway, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Shivam Dube, Ajinkya Rahane - averages above 35 while striking at around 140 or more. All of them are excellent captaincy/vice-captaincy choices if you are eyeing big bucks.
> Shivam Dube averages 37 against spin this season while striking at 158.6. On the other hand, Delhi have the most economical spin unit this season, going at only 6.9 runs per over. However, they have only 16 wickets in the tournament. That is a match-up battle right there which Dube has a great chance to win given the Delhi spinners have not been among wickets.
> Moeen Ali has nine wickets in the season out of which five have come at Chepauk (in five matches). Given DC may feature three left-hnders in their top six, Moeen becomes a crucial all-rounder from the fantasy point of view.
> Mitchell Marsh has his form with the bat. He has 114 runs in the last three outings. In addition, he has also picked six wickets in his last two games including a four-for. Another great left-field captaincy option.
