Key Players:
Shane Watson – 10 Cr
First in the list of key players features Sydney Thunder's captain Shane Watson. The 37-year-old is having an outstanding tournament with the bat in hand as he is currently the leading run-scorer for the franchise with 288 runs in nine outings at an average of 36. In the Thunder's previous match, Watson played a brilliant knock of 100 off 62 balls with the help of eight fours and six maximums. Those numbers suggest that Watson, who is valued at 10 Cr, is the player to have in your team. Former Australia all-rounder has played 282 T20s in his career, where he has scored 7,298 runs and has 215 wickets to his name.
Aaron Finch – 10.5
Second in the list of key players features Melbourne Renegades' captain Aaron Finch. The 32-year-old is having a hard time with the bat in hand recently and faced criticism for his below-par performances in the recently concluded three-match ODI series against India. In the competition so far, Finch has managed to score just 56 runs in two outings. However, the Victoria-born explosive opener is famous for his strong character and is expected to return to form, which is why he might not be a bad choice for your team for the match on Tuesday. In his career, Finch has played 245 T20s in his career, where he has scored 7,663 runs at an average of 35.97.
Kane Richardson – 9 Cr
Last in the list of key players features Melbourne Renegades' Kane Richardson. The right-arm pacer is having an excellent time with the ball in hand, where he is currently the leading wicket-taker with 16 scalps in eight outings. In the team's previous match, Richardson claimed figures of two for 17. Those figures suggest Richardson is the player to have in your team. In his career, the 27-year-old has played 84 T20s in his career, where he has 99 wickets to his name.
