Pitch Report
As seen in the previous game, the pitch is a touch two-paced, with extra bounce on offer for the pacers. While there should be some swing early on, batters will look to score big in the first six overs during the powerplay field restrictions.
As the game progresses, spinners should play a role, considering the bigger dimensions of the ground aiding them. Both teams will ideally look to bat first and put a total on the board. A total of 160-170 should be a good total, with wickets in hand being the key.

Today’s GT vs RR Dream11 match top picks
Wicketkeeper
Sanju Samson: Samson has shown glimpses of his ability in the last few games, using his range and experience to get quick runs in the middle overs. However, the RR captain is due a big score in IPL 2022, having missed out on a few fifties this season. With the conditions also suiting his style of batting, Samson is a must-have in your GT vs RR Dream11 fantasy team.
Batters
Shubman Gill: Shubman Gill, like Sanju Samson, is a brilliant player of both pace and spin. Although he isn't known to get off to quick starts at the top of the order, his ability to score big runs is noteworthy.
He looked good in his previous game against the Royals and will be keen to come up with the goods in this much-awaited game.
All-rounders
Hardik Pandya: Pandya has been in decent form in the last few games, scoring valuable runs in the middle order. He comes into this game on the back of a good performance against the Royals. With Pandya likely to play a role with the ball as well, he's a must-have in your GT vs RR Dream11 fantasy team.
Bowlers
Yuzvendra Chahal: Chahal is one of the best spinners in the world with 26 wickets to his name this season. The leg-spinner, though, hasn't done well in the playoffs, proving to be a touch expensive. However, given the conditions and his experience, he can be backed to flip the script and pick up a few wickets in this game.
