Rivalry notes
Everything is as expected so I’ll be sticking to my team but Nischal vouched against Samson so we’ll see who’s right.
Last game was BAD, no one showed any intent or quality but I mean it's hard to get points when the total runs by both teams is under 300. Marsh might be back in form hard to say but bowlers are definitely good choices for C/VC now, unless SRH is playing...
I only have de Kock and so I'll make 2 transfers this game. Markram doing for sure but between Vaibhav or NKR ether could go. I just dropped NKR because I knew I had to bring in the all rounder Jamie Overton. The only two matches that CSK has won this season had Sanju Samson registering a 30+ score. So he'll want to lead by example, against rivals MI on what should be a high-scoring Wankhede surface. Samson has a decent record at the venue and smashed a 89 (42) in the T20 World Cup semi-final against England. Tilak has had a horrible season until last game where he showed insane acceleration to score a century. Mhatre is injured and unfortunately not available. Jamie Overton has had the golden touch and played brilliantly throughout the season, taking wickets like it's nothing. Other than Jamie the all rounders have high prices but lacklustre performances. BUT Naman Dhir who has struggled early, made 50 and 45 the last 2 games making him a very valid choice (doesn't bowl though). For the bowlers there's really only 1 choice. Anshul Kamboj who has made more than double the points than the next it line. A must pick if you need a bowler. My final duo I'll bring in are Overton and Samson, with de Kock as Cap and Samson as VC for now.
Thanks for reading and I'll see you after the toss!
It's not shown in the image but Samson is my VC for now.
Is TC De Kock a good shout?
FOR SURE. CSK should put some good runs on and board with de Kock coming in early he’ll have plenty of time. And he gets any bonus points for keeping. Definitely has potential as we’ve seen with the century and CSK’s lineup isn’t the strongest. Good luck
