Grand League Punts
> Cameron Green has scored 164 across his last three IPL games while also taking three wickets. Pick him in your XI at all costs, he is the kind that could fetch you a ton of points on a good day.
> Yashasvi Jaiswal is another fine captaincy candidate. Against CSK he posted his highest-ever IPL score (77) and his last three scores read 77, 47 and 44. MI have one of the weakest pace attacks in the IPL and Jaiswal could really end up feasting on the five-time champs' attack.
> Ravichandran Ashwin is another must-have. He's picked 7 wickets in his last 5 matches, scalping two-fers in three games.
