Grand League Punts

> With 21 wickets, Piyush Chawla has the second most wickets by a spinner in this season. While the Ahmedabad track has  not supported spinners a lot, you can pick Chawla as a punt to make big bucks. 

> Similarly, Noor Ahmad has had an excellent IPL season but in Ahmedabad, he has picked only five wickets in as many games. His average here (29.4) is the highest among all venues. But like Chawla, you can pick him as the differentiator in your side. 

 > Cameron Green has been in excellent batting form, scoring a hundred two games ago. He should relish the batting friendly track in Ahmedabad. Adding his bowling value, he can be a good captaincy option.
