Axar Patel remains a top captaincy candidate because of his all-round skill set. Batting in the middle order, he has made 238 runs in the season at an average of 27 and strike rate of 157. The left-arm spinner has found his mojo, picking up four wickets in the last two innings.
Prabhsimran Singh is having his best IPL season, delivering consistently. The explosive opener has amassed 437 runs at an average of nearly 40 while striking at 170. He has hit four half centuries in the competition, three of which have come in the last three games.
Nehal Wadhera bats at number five and hasn’t had much time in the middle. He has struck 210 runs in the season at an average of 30 while striking at 149. He offers a good differential value.
Karun Nair smashed 89 off 40 against Mumbai Indians but has since managed 65 runs from five innings. That has dropped his fantasy ownership but he can be a great differential pick on a pitch like this.
