Grand League punts
> Captaining Devon Conway is almost a no-brainer. In 4 matches at Chepauk this season, Conway has averaged 133, posting scores of 92*, 77*, 50 & 47. This season, he's also passed fifty in five of his last six innings. Trust Conway to accumulate runs once again even though he scored a duck in the reverse fixture.
> Fun fact: Piyush Chawla has played 7 matches at Chepauk in the IPL and has NEVER gone wicketless. And here's why you gotta vice-captain him (or maybe even captain him) - he has taken 2-fers in each of his last five matches this season.
> Ruturaj Gaikwad, despite not being at his absolute best, is a must-have. He's been a bank with the bat (for fantasy users at least), scoring at least 35 in each of his last four innings.
