The 59th match of IPL 2025, LSG vs RCB, is scheduled to be played on Friday evening in Lucknow.

The upcoming game in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 will feature two heavyweights up against each other. Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) will be taking on each other on Friday evening at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium.

RCB are undefeated this season whenever they have played an away game. They have 16 points and are very close to making it to the next round. RCB suffered a setback when Devdutt Padikkal was ruled out, but they have the backup. LSG are short on confidence and form.

But they can’t be written off, and they have players to challenge any team. This game also has the potential to do well on fantasy cricket platforms. Both sides are full of superstars, and there are a lot of options to choose for Dream11 teams. A good captain can make the team do pretty well.

For that, we’ve suggested three players who could be great choice to be picked as captain of Dream11 teams on various fantasy cricket platforms.

Top three Dream11 captaincy picks for LSG vs RCB, Match 59, IPL 2025

1. Virat Kohli

Virat Kohli is a run machine in the IPL. Every season he keeps on scoring with an incredible consistency. That’s what he has done this season as well, scoring 505 runs, and he is just six runs away from taking the Orange Cap.

Virat is the backbone of RCB, and with the way he is scoring, it looks pretty possible for him to play another good innings here. Virat has earned 955 fantasy points at an average of 86.82 per match, and is a safe pick as Dream11 captain.

2. Aiden Markram

The last two games haven’t gone well for Aiden Markram. That is also one reason that LSG have not done well. But Markram is in good form this season and has scored 348 runs with four half-centuries.

He will be very confident of doing well against RCB. He is not a dasher, so one can expect him to play an anchor role and then take on. Not to forget, he has also done well with the ball and taken a few wickets this season. That is why he can be a good pick as Dream11 captain.

3. Nicholas Pooran

The last fifty for Nicholas Pooran came five innings ago. But despite a dip in his form, he is still the highest run-scorer for his team. Pooran can win the game singlehandedly, and that’s what makes him a good choice as Dream11 captain.

He scores at a rapid pace and deals mainly in sixes. This is what helps to earn more points. Pooran has earned 938 points this season at an average of 85.27 per match.
