Picks for GT vs PBKS Dream11 Team Today

Gujarat Titans

Shubman Gill

• The GT captain will be one of the key batters for the Gujarat Titans in this game. Shubman Gill is a consistent run-scorer and could be one of the key picks for the fantasy contests of the game.

Rashid Khan

• The Afghanistan all-rounder is one of the key players for the Gujarat Titans. Rashid Khan can be an effective points contributor in both innings of the game. 

B Sai Sudharsan

• The young Indian middle-order batter has been a very solid presence in the GT batting line-up. Sai Sudharsan is consistent run-scorer and would be a very important pick for the fantasy contests. 

Punjab Kings

Shreyas Iyer

• The IPL 2024 winning skipper is a part of the Punjab Kings and will be leading them. Besides being the skipper, Shreyas Iyer will also be the backbone of the PBKS batting. Given the quality he brings to the table, Shreyas will be one of the hot picks for the fantasy contests.

Josh Inglis

• The Australian wicketkeeper has shown that he can bat under pressure and score runs when the team needs it. There is a high chance that PBKS will include Josh Inglis in their playing combination and hence he will be a key pick for the fantasy contests.

Glenn Maxwell

• The Australian all-rounder has found his way to the PBKS ahead of IPL 2025. Glenn Maxwell can be a match winner with the bat and can often pick up crucial wickets for the team. Even though he is not carrying the best of forms into the tournament, Maxwell could be a differential choice for the fantasy contests of the match.

Weather - The skies will be clear during the game. As reported by AccuWeather, the highest temperature will be around 29°C and there is no chance of rain during the game.

Pitch - The pitch at the Narendra Modi Stadium has been a balanced one. The even pace and bounce of the wicket helps the batters to play their shots. However, under the lights the ball might move a bit and the pacers might come into the game. As the ball gets older, it might grip a bit on the surface and the spinners could play a significant role.
