To win in  predictions, it is very necessary to pick the correct players in your fantasy teams. Similarly it is necessary to know the players you need to stay away from. On the bases of venue performances, match-up datas and recent form, here are three players you can stay away from or who can be risky picks in this game. 

Rohit Sharma 

While he is a legendary batsman, there are several concerning factors that make Rohit Sharma a risky fantasy pick for this specific match:

Poor record at Narendra Modi Stadium with an average of just 20.44 and a strike rate below 100 in recent outings

Specific matchup struggles against Mohammed Siraj

He bats in the top order where pace bowlers have dominated at this venue

Hardik Pandya 

Despite his all-round capabilities, Hardik Pandya presents significant fantasy risks for this match:

Limited batting impact at this venue with a modest average of 16.33

Will likely bowl during middle overs when GT's strongest batsmen typically consolidate

Kagiso Rabada 

Though a premier fast bowler, several factors suggest Kagiso Rabada might underperform in this particular fixture:

No established track record at Narendra Modi Stadium in the analyzed period

Head-to-head numbers against MI's middle order batters show limited success

Recently signed to GT, meaning less familiarity with home conditions compared to established GT bowlers
