Series | Indian Premier League |
Season | 2025 |
RCB come into this fixture with strong form (WWLDW), with recent wins driven by consistent performances from their top-order and Hazlewood's strikes with the new ball. Meanwhile, PBKS have alternated between wins and losses (WLWLW), showing flashes of brilliance, especially from their young Indian batters and a reliable middle order.
The wide boundaries of Ahmedabad could assist spinners and change-up bowlers later in the innings, while power-hitters and composed top-order batters will enjoy the pace early on.
Phil Salt (RCB) – Selected by 89.94%, he's the go-to choice with 901 points and a low credit value of 8.5. In explosive touch.
Prabhsimran Singh (PBKS) – Under 50% picked but has 950 points; a differential pick with the same credit value as Salt.
Jitesh Sharma (RCB) – Selected by 40.67%, has decent form with 691 points and costs only 8.0 credits.
Shreyas Iyer (PBKS) – One of the most reliable fantasy batters with 1184 points, selected by 91.17%.
Virat Kohli (RCB) – Nearly identical points (1182), always a solid pick and selected by 94.38%.
Prabhsimran Arya (PBKS) – A consistent performer this season (870 points), available at 8.5 credits.
Rajat Patidar (RCB) – Less picked (48.02%), but a potential impact player at 8.0 credits.
Krunal Pandya (RCB) – Reliable utility player with 778 points; contributes in both departments.
Marcus Stoinis (PBKS) – Only 398 points so far, but dangerous on his day. Could be a risky X-factor.
Josh Hazlewood (RCB) – Key death-over weapon, with 805 points and a strong 85.38% selection rate.
Arshdeep Singh (PBKS) – Can pick wickets in the powerplay and death. Worth the 8.5 credits with 791 points.
Captain: Shreyas Iyer – Consistent run-scorer and most picked batter with 1184 points. Anchors PBKS’ innings.
Vice-Captain: Virat Kohli – Proven performer at Ahmedabad, leading run-getter for RCB this season.

Marcus Stoinis (PBKS): Despite potential, has only 398 points; not very consistent this season. Use with caution.
Mayank Agarwal (Team 1): Has not had a big score recently; could be rotated out or pushed down the order.
RCB look more settled and carry better form into this game. With Kohli, Salt, and Hazlewood all firing, they may hold the edge. However, PBKS's unpredictability and power-packed line-up mean they can't be ruled out if they click on the day.
