Moneyball9 Fantasy Tips: 10 bowlers to look forward to in the playoffs
It has been one of those bizarre seasons where not even a single bowler managed to pick up 20 wickets in the league stage. This is something that doesn’t happen often. However, as well know, they win you matches. A T20 side with the best bowling attack is always a dangerous outfit. So as we go into the playoffs, who are the bowlers we can bank upon to fetch us points in the fantasy? Here’s an analysis:
Praveen Kumar
The Gujarat Lions spearhead might have picked only nine wickets in this tournament but his performances at crucial junctures helped his team. He bowled with the new ball and at the death to deny the opposition vital runs. And he will have to bring out his best against the Royal Challengers in the first qualifier. If he can have a good outing, his team can breathe a little easy.
Initially looked at upon as a new ball bowler, Praveen Kumar has also added some variations to his bowling to become an excellent bowler at the death. He will cost you 6000 rupees.
Dhawal Kulkarni
With 14 wickets to his name, Dhawal Kulkarni is one of the leading wicket-takers in this year’s edition. He has been mightily effective with the new ball moving it both ways and denting the opposition right at the start. He can go for a few though at the death even though he has some variations.
Kulkarni costs 6000 rupees in the fantasy like Praveen but you may not want to take both these bowlers for the first game since it is an absolute batting paradise and the fact that they will be up against one of the most intimidating batting line-ups we have ever seen. But he is certainly an option in their next game.
