GT vs RR: Top 5 Dream11 fantasy picks for match 9 of IPL 2026
The GT vs RR match of the IPL 2026 will be played at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
Gujarat Titans and Rajasthan Royals are set to take on each other in the second game of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 on Saturday. This contest will be held at Narendra Modi Stadium at 7:30 PM IST. Both teams are coming off a contrasting game.
GT lost to Punjab Kings (PBKS) while RR thrashed Chennai Super Kings (CSK). If we look at the record between these two sides, GT have an excellent record, but as per current form, RR look lethal.
It will be a clash between two teams with young captains, and both will carry a fearless approach. On the other hand, if you are preparing to make a Dream11 team, this can be a good game for you. There are some really good players to choose from.
Hence, we have suggested five players who could be a great choice for your Dream11 teams on various fantasy cricket platforms.
Top Dream11 fantasy picks for the GT vs RR clash
1. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi
The last time these two teams met, Vaibhav Suryavanshi slammed a 35-ball century. With that, he became the fastest Indian to score an IPL century.
He has already shown his intent with a 15-ball fifty against CSK, and everyone is waiting for him to get on the crease. We can assure you, if he plays 20-22 balls, RR will be on top.
2. Yashasvi Jaiswal
Yashasvi Jaiswal is the star boy for RR after Sanju Samson. He is the backbone of RR’s batting unit, and he is playing maturely. He played a second fiddle with Sooryavanshi in the first game and spent some time on the crease.
That must provide him confidence, and he will look to produce a match-winning knock. He is in good form, and he will be a good pick for your Dream11 team.
3. Shubman Gill
Shubman Gill looked good in the first game and scored 39 off 27 balls. But he got out at the wrong time. Gill has a point to prove after he was dropped from the Indian T20I side. We think this will be a big season for him.
The GT captain will look to take his team to their first win, and his runs will be crucial for the team. Hence, his form and stature make him a bankable batter at the top.
4. Sai Sudharsan
The Orange Cap winner of the 2025 season, Sai Sudharsan, missed in the first game. But he is too good of a player to miss in consecutive games.
The left-hander has a great head on his shoulders, and he will be determined to play long in this game. His ability to play long innings is why you can’t miss him while making your Dream11 team.
5. Jos Buttler
Many will argue that Jos Buttler is out of form. But he spent some time on the crease, which was missing in the T20 World Cup 2026. That must give him some confidence going into this contest.
RR is his former team, and he knows these bowlers, which will be another advantage to him. Buttler getting unleashed is a treat to watch. Adding to that, he is also the keeper and can earn points behind the wicket as well.
