Grand League Punts
> Cameron Green has shown improvement with the bat, notching up his maiden IPL ton in the last game. However, most of his runs, including his hundred, have come on batting-friendly tracks where the ball tends to come onto the bat. Given Chennai has offered slow tracks more often than not, you can make the brave call of dropping Green if you want to tend away from playing safe. Instead, Krunal Pandya could be the more suited all-rounder for the conditions.
> Quinton de Kock has scored of 28, 16, 29 and 70 in his four games this season. These are not breathtaking numbers but they are not bad either given de Kock has not batted in many high-scoring games. As an opener and a top class wicketkeeper, he can make a big difference to your side.
> Akash Madhwal has fetched eight wickets in six games, being a crucial asset for Mumbai in the death overs. The right-arm pacer nabbed a four-wicket haul in Mumbai's last league game against Hyderabad and shall not be ignored if you have to make big bucks.
