• Sai Sudharsan (GT) – Consistent scorer, good value pick.
• Sanju Samson (RR) – Explosive middle-order batter, also gets you WK points.
• Yashasvi Jaiswal (RR) – Can fire big on his day.

• Sanju Samson – Better Dream11 option compared to Jurel in terms of consistency and captaincy role.

• Rahul Tewatia (GT) – Finisher + part-time spin + strong on home turf.
• Wanindu Hasaranga (RR) – Wicket-taking spinner, can bat too.

• Rashid Khan (GT) – Must-have pick, likely to take key wickets.
• Mohammed Siraj (GT) – Good form, economical bowler.
