Hot Picks For GT vs KKR Dream11 Team Today- IPL 2026, Match 25
Gujarat Titans
Shubman Gill
Recent form in IPL: Matches- 3; Runs- 165; SR- 147.32
Gujarat Titans skipper Shubman Gill has been in solid form in IPL 2026. With a strong strike rate and a decent average, Gill will be a reliable performer for fantasy teams.
In the IPL at Ahmedabad, Gill has boasted an average of 52.6 with the bat while maintaining a strike rate of 162.0.
Jos Buttler
Recent form in IPL: Matches- 4; Runs- 176; SR- 158.55
Jos Buttler is another formidable prospect for fantasy teams, given his red-hot recent form, striking at over 158 in IPL 2026.
Buttler will be one of the most trusted and consistent performers for Gujarat Titans with the bat. In Ahmedabad, Buttler has a solid average of 55.4 in the IPL from 11 appearances while maintaining a strike rate of 159.9.
Sai Sudharsan
Recent form in IPL: Matches- 4; Runs- 113; SR- 148.68
Sai Sudharsan, another consistent top-order batter for Gujarat, will be key for fantasy teams looking to rack up points consistently.
Sudharsan has been in solid form so far, and in Ahmedabad, too, he has a spectacular average of 123.5 from four matches while striking at 159.4.
Kolkata Knight Riders
Ajinkya Rahane
Recent form in IPL: Matches- 5; Runs- 152; SR- 149.01
Ajinkya Rahane has been in decent form so far in IPL 2022, although his team, Kolkata Knight Riders, haven't been at their very best.
Rahane has been a consistent performer with the bat in the top order and has also maintained a strike rate of 155.6 at Ahmedabad from his two appearances.
Angkrish Raghuvanshi
Recent form in IPL: Matches- 5; Runs- 182; SR- 155.55
Angkrish Raghuvanshi, meanwhile, has been the highest run-scorer for KKR so far, with an impressive strike rate of 155.55. He has been consistent and will be relied upon once again in the upcoming clash.
Against the Gujarat Titans, however, Raghuvanshi has played only one match, where he scored 27 runs off 13 deliveries, underlining his intent ahead of the contest.
Rovman Powell
Recent form in IPL: Matches- 3; Runs- 70; SR- 152.17
Rovman Powell has been a solid all-rounder choice for KKR over the last three matches. The West Indies powerhouse has scored 70 runs from his three appearances at a strike rate of 152.17.
With his striking ability in the lower order, he can pose a serious threat to opposition bowlers while helping rack up consistent fantasy points.
Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad - Record Of Chasing Teams
The Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad has a record of teams chasing to win 23 times in IPL from 46 matches played here. While teams batting first have won 22 times.
As the average IPL 2026 score stands at over 173 in this venue, a competitive and balanced competition between the bat and the ball is expected, with the captain winning the toss choosing to bowl first.
GT vs KKR Risky picks- IPL 2026, Match 25
Rinku Singh
Rinku Singh can be one of the risky picks in fantasy teams. Having played five matches, Rinku's form has been at its worst, with only 78 runs to his name at a poor average of just 26. He can burst with form or flop, making him one of the riskiest choices.
Finn Allen
Finn Allen, another KKR batter who promised big but failed to convert them into solid totals, can be a risky inclusion in fantasy teams, as he can either go big or get out in the very first instance. From five matches, he has gathered 81 runs at an average of just 16.2, but with a solid strike rate of 192.85.
Glenn Phillips
Glenn Phillips, another all-rounder of the Gujarat Titans, can be either a hit or a miss in the upcoming clash. So far, he has gathered only 42 runs at a strike rate of 140, yet promises good totals with the bat if he finds his rhythm.
GT vs KKR Differential picks- IPL 2026, Match 25
Anukul Roy
Anukul Roy, an all-rounder from Kolkata Knight Riders, has potential. From the five matches he has played, he has managed to scalp four wickets while maintaining a decent economy rate of 8.26. With the bat, though, he hasn’t sparked yet, but promises good totals in the lower middle order in crunch situations.
Kartik Tyagi
Kartik Tyagi is another pacer from Kolkata Knight Riders who has shown promise so far in the tournament, with five wickets from his five appearances. It is likely that he might get another chance to bag some scalps against Gujarat. So far, he has been a solid strike bowler for Kolkata, with an average of 31.4.
Kagiso Rabada
Kagiso Rabada could be an interesting choice, considering the fact that he is a world-class bowler from South Africa, yet hasn’t found much success in IPL 2026 so far. He has four wickets from the four matches he has played and has been quite expensive too, with an economy rate of 10.8. However, given his stature, Rabada can be a good pick for fantasy teams.
