Rickelton (wk), Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Will Jacks, Naman Dhir, Hardik Pandya (c), Bumrah, Boult, D Chahar, Cameron Bosch
Buttler (wk), Shubman Gill (c), Sai Sudharsan, Shahrukh Khan, Tewatia, Sundar, Coetzee, Rashid Khan, Sai Kishore, Prasidh Krishna, Siraj
Sai Sudharsan (GT | BAT) – The leading run-scorer in IPL 2025 with 504 runs in 10 matches, Sudharsan has combined consistency with elegance. A safe Dream11 captain option for mega leagues.
Suryakumar Yadav (MI | BAT) – The explosive right-hander is peaking at the right time. With 475 runs in 11 matches and a blistering half-century in his last outing, SKY is a top pick for Dream11 captain or vice-captain.
Jos Buttler (GT | WK-BAT) – The Englishman brings experience and aggressive intent at the top. With 470 runs and multiple 50+ scores, he’s ideal for Dream11 vice-captain in high-scoring contests.
Jasprit Bumrah (MI | BOWL) – Economical and lethal, especially at the death. With wickets in every game and a sub-7 economy rate, Bumrah is a valuable Dream11 differential pick.
Tilak Varma (MI) – A steady middle-order contributor who can anchor and accelerate.
Cameron Bosch (MI) – Offers all-round value and is often under-picked.
Washington Sundar (GT) – Can grab fantasy points with both ball and bat, especially on a turning track.
Shahrukh Khan (GT) – Struggling for form and batting too low to make a major fantasy impact.
Rahul Tewatia (GT) – While he’s capable of explosive cameos, Tewatia hasn’t had many opportunities this season.
