Top three Dream11 captaincy picks for GT vs PBKS, Match 5, IPL 2025

1. Jos Buttler

The former English captain is going through a lot in recent times and he recently stepped down as England’s white-ball captainc. But when it comes to the IPL, he is a different beast altogether. Buttler has some incredible numbers, and you always find him among the top scorers in the competition.

A lot of GT’s chances will depend on how Buttler performs, and with the stature he has, he is expected to fire. Not to forget, he can earn points on fantasy cricket platforms with the gloves as well. That is why he is a great option to make captain of Dream11 teams.

2. Shreyas Iyer

Shreyas Iyer has evolved as a batter in the last couple of years. He is more confident now and is also in good form. Iyer will be batting in the top three, which gives him chance to face more balls.

He is coming off a successful campaign at the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, finishing as the second-highest run-scorer. Iyer has a point to prove after KKR released him despite leading them to a trophy. We expect him to fire, which is why he can be a good captain for GT vs PBKS Dream11 teams.

3. Prabhsimran Singh

There are a few good other options as well, but we have gone with the PBKS opener, Prabhsimran Singh. He might feature in almost matches, but not many will choose him as captain. That is where he be a difference in your Dream11 teams.

The opener had an impactful campaign in 2024 edition. The surface in Ahmedabad might suit his batting style, and being an opener and keeper, he can get a good amount of points on fantasy cricket platforms.
