Grand League punts
> Across the last 15 days in the IPL, no one has taken more wickets than Mitchell Marsh (9). He's arguably the most in-form wicket-taker in the competition right now, his last three match figures reading 3/18, 2/21 and 4/27 and astonishingly, he's struck every 6.7 balls in this period. Marsh is in the midst of the purplest of purple patches and it would be criminal to not captain or vice-captain him for his bowling alone. Factor in his batting — he's scored 89 off 56 balls in his last two games in Delhi — it's a no brainer to put all faith in Marsh.
> A fantasy player's dream, Axar Patel, like Marsh, has been in terrific form in lead-up to tomorrow's clash. He collected 103 fantasy points vs CSK — the highest among all players in that clash — and has averaged 71.8 points in his last five matches. He hit three figures in points against SRH in Delhi too. Left-arm spin has been the most economical bowling type at the Arun Jaitley Stadium too, so Axar is expected to build pressure. That could very well yield him wickets.
