The 58th match of IPL 2025, RCB vs KKR, is scheduled to be played on Saturday evening in Bengaluru.

The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 is back after the break, and the final phase will bring some of the best games to be played this season. The tournament will resume when Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) take on Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the 58th clash of the season.

This match is slated to be played at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru, on Saturday evening. All overseas players of RCB are back in camp, and they will come with full strength. RCB are just one win away from securing a berth in the playoffs, while KKR are on the verge of elimination.

But they will look to get a win here and keep the slim hope alive. Both sides have some really great T20 stars to choose from if you are making a fantasy cricket team. But the choice of captain can be a game-changer.

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 RCB vs KKR, Match 58, IPL 2025

1. Sunil Narine

Sunil Narine is expected to do well here. There is a prediction of rain, which will bring spinners into the game. He can use these conditions well. Then his batting for scoring runs in the powerplay will be slightly easier.

That is where Narine can benefit from such conditions. Not to forget, he is in great form and has been the best performer for KKR this season. Narine has earned 926 fantasy points so far at an average of 92.6 per match.

2. Virat Kohli

Virat Kohli will be playing his first competitive match since his announcement of retiring from test cricket. Hence, a lot will be going through his mind. But as we know, he likes such situations that bring the best out of him.

Virat is just six runs away from getting the Orange Cup. He has scored 505 runs at an average of 63.13 and a strike rate of 143.47, with seven half-centuries. Virat has earned 955 fantasy points at an average of 86.82 per match.

3. Krunal Pandya

Krunal Pandya has been an underrated performer for RCB this season. He has taken 14 wickets at an economy rate of 8.57 and has scored 97 runs at an average of 24.25.

Krunal can be a tough bowler to face in such conditions in Bengaluru. He is a wicket-taker and can bowl at any stage of the game. Then, his batting and fielding are other aspects where he can contribute and earn fantasy cricket points. Krunal has so far earned 690 points this season and can be a good captaincy pick.
