Player Form and Fantasy Picks

Teenage sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi remains the focal point for Rajasthan. Having amassed 404 runs this season, he is a primary choice for fantasy managers. He is supported at the top by Yashasvi Jaiswal and captain Riyan Parag, the latter of whom recently struck a defiant 90 against Delhi Capitals.

For Gujarat Titans, Sai Sudharsan has been the model of consistency, recording three successive half-centuries. The dual threat of Jos Buttler against his former franchise and the recent bowling form of Jason Holder—who claimed four wickets in his last outing—makes them high-value picks. Kagiso Rabada and Rashid Khan continue to be the backbone of a GT bowling attack that has looked increasingly clinical. MS Dhoni Bowling: Viral Video Sparks Hope for CSK Legend's IPL 2026 Return.

RR vs GT Dream11 Team Prediction

Based on the squads and current form, here is a suggested Dream11 line-up for tonight's clash:

  • Wicketkeepers: Jos Buttler, Dhruv Jurel

  • All-rounders: Riyan Parag, Washington Sundar, Jason Holder

  • Bowlers: Rashid Khan, Jofra Archer

Captain and Vice-Captain Recommendations

Selecting the right captain and vice-captain is vital for maximising point returns. Shubman Gill and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi represent statistically safe choices for these roles due to their consistent volume of runs. For managers seeking differential or higher-risk options, Riyan Parag’s recent form and Jason Holder’s dual-threat capability make them viable alternatives.
