GT vs RCB Dream11 Prediction, Dream11 Playing XI, Today Match 42, IPL 2026

Dream11 fantasy XI tips and guide for match 42 of the IPL 2026 between GT vs RCB to be played in Ahmedabad.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru have continued their impressive form from last season and have started their title defence on a strong note. They are currently in second spot in the Indian Premier League 2026 points table with 12 points. RCB will now face the Gujarat Titans in their next game.

The match will be held at the Narendra Modi Stadium on April 30 at 7:30 PM (IST). If RCB win this contest, they can replace Punjab Kings at the top of the leaderboard. On the other hand, GT have had a pretty decent campaign so far.

They have 8 points as of now and are coming off a win over Chennai Super Kings. Sai Sudharsan has been exceptional in the last two games. However, GT will have to address their persistent middle-order issues. That also cost them the game against RCB a few days back.
