GT vs MI Dream11 Top Fantasy Cricket Picks
- Hardik Pandya: Mumbai Indians’ captain fantastic needs no introduction. Hardik Pandya is a player who can impact any match with both bat and ball. Moreover, we’ve seen how he comes alive in big games, so expect Pandya to have a positive impact in this match.
- Sai Sudarshan: He is the leading run-scorer in IPL 2025 at the moment, having scored 679 runs across 14 innings. He has been consistent scorer at the top and is the reason why GT are so good at putting huge totals.
- Suryakumar Yadav: With 640 runs across 14 innings, Suryakumar Yadav is the leading run-scorer for Mumbai Indians this season. India’s T20I captain holds the key for MI when it comes to batting. His mere presence can unsettle any bowling unit.
- Shubman Gill: Behind Sai Sudarshan is Shubman Gill, who has accumulated 649 runs across 14 innings. The newly appointed India’s test captain is a big scalp in any match and Mumbai Indians will be better off seeing the back of him early in the innings.
- Jasprit Bumrah: No need to use superlatives here — we all know how good Jasprit Bumrah is. He is the epitome of consistency in world cricket, an absolute nightmare for batters of all shapes and sizes. The Indian fast bowler can rip through any batting unit in the world.
- Trent Boult: The New Zealand fast bowler is in red-hot form at the moment. He has taken a total of 19 wickets in IPL 2025. But it’s worth highlighting that 13 of those wickets have come in the last 6 matches. He can make a big difference in this match as well.
- Prasidh Krishna: Much of Gujarat Titans’ success this season is down to the form of their fast bowlers. And one of the bowlers who has been having a positive impact on the team’s performance is Prasidh Krishna. With 23 wickets across 14 innings, he is the leading wicket-taker for GT in IPL 2025.
