The 47th match of IPL 2025 features Rajasthan Royals (RR) hosting Gujarat Titans (GT) at the batting-friendly Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur, on April 28.
With Gujarat Titans leading the points table and Rajasthan Royals struggling near the bottom, this game is crucial for both teams’ playoff hopes.
Fantasy cricket players are keen to pick the best Dream11 captain to maximize points.
Here is a detailed analysis of the top three captaincy picks for this high-stakes encounter.
1. Sai Sudharsan (Gujarat Titans)
Sai Sudharsan is currently the leading run-scorer (Orange Cap holder) in IPL 2025 with 417 runs, showcasing remarkable consistency throughout the season.
In GT’s last match, Sudharsan scored a valuable 52 runs, continuing his fine form and ability to anchor innings or accelerate as needed.
His role as a top-order batter ensures he faces maximum deliveries, increasing his fantasy points potential.
Sudharsan is the safest captaincy pick for small leagues due to his steady run-scoring and consistency.
2. Shubman Gill (Gujarat Titans)
Shubman Gill has been a key player for GT, recently smashing 90 runs in a commanding victory over Kolkata Knight Riders.
As the GT captain and a top-order batter, Gill combines flair with consistency, making him a prime candidate for captaincy.
His ability to play long innings and accelerate in the middle and death overs offers high fantasy returns.
Gill is recommended as the grand league captaincy pick for those seeking high-risk, high-reward options.
3. Yashasvi Jaiswal (Rajasthan Royals)
Despite RR’s struggles this season, Yashasvi Jaiswal has been a bright spot, scoring 49 runs in the previous match and providing aggressive starts at the top.
Jaiswal’s attacking style and ability to build innings make him a valuable fantasy asset, especially when RR needs to set or chase big totals.
He is a strong vice-captain choice and a potential differential captain pick for those backing RR to upset GT at home.
