GT vs SRH Pitch Report
The Brabourne Stadium has been a high-scoring venue with scores of over 170 being a common sight in IPL 2022. Although another high-scoring fixture is on the cards, the pacers are likely to get some help early on. As the match progresses, the pitch should slow down and offer more assistance to the spinners. Taking the pace off and hitting hard lengths would be the bowlers' go-to options towards the backend of the innings. With this being a day game and no dew factor involved, neither team would mind batting first upon winning the toss.

Today’s GT vs RCB Dream11 match top picks
Wicketkeeper
Dinesh Karthik: Dinesh Karthik has been RCB's go-to man in the death overs, with his range against pace being brilliant. The keeper-batter has been in fine form, scoring at a brisk rate in the death overs. With the match-ups likely to be favorable for Karthik, he is certainly one to keep an eye out for in this game.
Batter
Shubman Gill: Shubman Gill, despite a strong start to his IPL 2022 season, hasn't fired in the last few games. But he remains Gujarat Titans' best batting prospect, with his ability against spin being second to none. With the opener due for a big knock, he is a must-have in your GT vs RCB Dream11 fantasy team.
All-rounder
Hardik Pandya: Hardik Pandya's form in IPL 2022 has been refreshing to say the least. The star all-rounder has scored 305 runs in seven matches this season, even pushing himself up to No. 3 in the batting unit. Although he hasn't been required to bowl in the last few games, Pandya's form and ability should hold him in good stead.
Bowler
Josh Hazlewood: Aussie pacer Josh Hazlewood has been impressive for RCB this season, picking up 10 wickets in just five games. While his swing-bowling ability is note-worthy, he has been good in the backend of the innings as well. With conditions helping his style of bowling, Hazlewood is a fine addition to your GT vs RCB Dream11 fantasy team.
