Recent form in IPL: Matches- 2; Runs- 86; SR- 245.71

Phil Salt

Recent form in IPL: Matches- 2; Runs- 54; SR- 145.95

Barsapara Stadium, Guwahati - Record Of Chasing Teams

The Barsapara Stadium in Guwahati has a record of teams chasing to win 3 times in IPL from 8 matches played here. While teams batting first have won 4 times. 

As the average score stands at 138 in IPL in this venue, a competitive and balanced competition is expected, with the captain winning the toss choosing to bowl first.

RR vs RCB Risky picks- IPL 2026, Match 16

Riyan Parag

Riyan Parag, the Rajasthan Royals skipper, has been in hot-and-cold form this IPL. Although known as a solid and consistent performer with the bat, he is averaging 21 this season, albeit with a strong strike rate of 168. With his power-hitting ability, Parag can be a risky pick given his potential to either explode or fail in the upcoming all-important match.

Shimron Hetmyer

Shimron Hetmyer, another Rajasthan Royals batter, has also been in inconsistent form. However, with his Caribbean power to hit big sixes, he could either be a match-winner or a liability in fantasy contests if dismissed early.

Rajat Patidar

Rajat Patidar, skipper of Royal Challengers Bengaluru, has played explosive knocks in both the Sunrisers Hyderabad and Chennai Super Kings clashes. However, his form has not been consistent, and he is often seen as a support player. He can be a risky pick, given that he might falter under pressure, unlike Virat Kohli.

RR vs RCB Differential picks- IPL 2026, Match 16

Tushar Deshpande

Tushar Deshpande has solid experience in the IPL and is one of the primary weapons for Rajasthan Royals as a strike bowler. Though he has not been at his best this season, with an economy rate of 10.60, he could still be a game-changer in Dream11 contests for the upcoming clash.

Suyash Sharma

Suyash Sharma, playing for Rajasthan Royals, has not shone so far, with only two wickets in two matches. However, his potential speaks for itself, as the leg-spinner can act as a key pivot in turning the game in favor of Royal Challengers Bengaluru.

Ravi Bishnoi

Ravi Bishnoi, however, has been a top performer in the spin-bowling department for Rajasthan Royals. He has scalped seven wickets from three matches at an economy rate of 9.11, while striking every 7.00 balls. However, with the Guwahati track often favoring batters and seamers, Bishnoi's inclusion might either be a boon or a bane for the team.
