Kohli vs MI runs855 runs
Captain Signal
Virat Kohli
855 runs vs MI career. Wankhede night + dew = chase paradise. 55% ownership but highest expected runs ceiling. C in 5-7 teams.
Safe Captain Alt
Rajat Patidar
RCB captain. 38% ownership -- better GL differential than Kohli. Middle-order + dew chase combo. VC if Kohli is your cap.
GL Differential
Tim David
Death-over finisher in dew-aided chase. SR 168 this season. Only 35% ownership. If RCB chase: Tim David overs 16-20 = massive pts.
Dew Risk
Avoid: death bowlers
Bumrah (defending death overs), Bhuvneshwar economy bonus unlikely with dew. Defending team's spinners lose value overs 12+.
