RCB vs GT Dream 11 Prediction, IPL 2024, Match 52: Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Gujarat Titans playing XI, fantasy team and squads

Preview 

Faf Du Plessis and Shubman Gill will meet again to play their reverse fixture to keep their hopes alive for a place in the top four of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 points table. The last time these two sides had met in Ahmedabad, it was a century by Will Jacks that had won the game for RCB to keep their hopes alive. 

Royal Challengers Bengaluru are currently bottom of the table and have won their last games. While they are still playing catch-up cricket, Faf Du Plessis and his team though are playing some amazing cricket and are putting the opposition teams under pressure. 

Gujarat Titans (GT) who had begun the season well have floundered and find themselves fighting to keep their hopes alive. Shubman Gill will want to come good with the bat and make a point to the selectors after having been ignored for the T20I World Cup spot.

Pitch Report 

Bengaluru has traditionally been a great ground for run-scoring. Batting second at this venue would be a better option as the ball does come well onto the bat in the second half of the game. Seam bowlers will get a decent amount of purchase while the spinners could get a bit of grip and turn once the ball goes softer.

Top players for RCB vs GT Dream 11 Match 

Top Players – Royal Challengers Bengaluru   

Virat Kohli- It has been yet another season of amazing batting by the former RCB Skipper. The IPL 2024 campaign has shown the world why Virat Kohli is a dangerous batter in this format of the game. 

Will Jacks – It has been a great introduction to the team for Will Jacks. His century in the last game has filled his team with optimism and new hopes. Will Jacks is not only a destructive batter but also has the ability to bowl well and take some wickets for his side. 

Top Players – Gujarat Titans 

Shubman Gill – It has been a mixed-bag season for Shubman Gill as he has seen his run-scoring form take a dip. Captaincy seems to have weighed heavy on his shoulders but Gill can take inspiration from the fact that the last time he played at this venue he had scored a century.

Sai Sudharsan – The left-handed batter has been one of the best batters for Titans this season. Sai Sudharsan has been a vital cog in the wheel with the bat and his consistency in terms of run-scoring has taken a new turn. 

RCB vs GT Must Picks for Dream 11 Cricket

Faf Du Plessis: RCB skipper Faf Du Plessis saw his IPL 2024 season start slow but once the tournament began he found his groove with the bat. The veteran star has been pivotal with the bat and given his team good starts along with Virat Kohli to deflate the opposition. 

David Miller – Gujarat Titans have seen David Miller come back into form with the bat in recent times. His blistering fifty against the Delhi Capitals nearly pulled off an amazing chase. David Miller has already scored an IPL ton versus RCB and has enough quality to cause damage once more. 

Suggested playing XI No.1 for RCB vs GT Dream11 Cricket Fantasy 

D Karthik, S GIll, F D Plessis (VC), V Kohli, S Sudharsan (C), D Miller, W Jacks, C Green, R Khan, M Siraj, S Warrier

Suggested playing XI No.2 for RCB vs GT Dream11 Cricket Fantasy 

D Karthik, W Saha, V Kohli (C), S Gill (VC), FD Plessis, S Sudharsan, W Jacks, C Green, R Khan, S Warrier, M Siraj

RCB vs GT Risky Captaincy Choices 

Glenn Maxwell – after being rested for a few games, Glenn Maxwell made his way back into the team. The veteran Australian star has been hampered by inconsistency but on his day he is very dangerous with the bat in hand. 

Rashid Khan – IPL 2024 has been very difficult for Rashid Khan with the ball in hand. The Afghan star hasn’t been able to pick up the wicket as he is known to and put the fear into the opposition. His batting form though has been amazing and Rashid Khan has shown why he is a more than capable batter in the lower order. 

Players, you should avoid 

Mahipal Lomror – Young Mahipal Lomror has a huge reputation in the domestic cricket circles. That form hasn’t been translated into IPL as he has failed to perform well so far this season. With just a handful of matches left to play, Lomror will want to prove his worth to RCB for a possible retention. 

Mohit Sharma – It seems the form of Mohit Sharma with the ball has taken a 180-degree turn. The best bowler from IPL 2023 has seen his bowling figures get sullied as the opposition batters have taken him to the cleaners this season.
