Top Player Picks for RCB vs KKR Dream11 Prediction

Rajat Patidar (RCB):

• Rajat Patidar has 373 runs at an average of 31.08 and a 152.62 strike rate in 14 innings in Bengaluru. He also has three fifties here.
• Rajat Patidar has done well against most KKR bowlers, including Sunil Narine. Since the new-ball movement will be gone when he arrives, Patidar will get nice batting conditions.
• Rajat Patidar will be RCB’s biggest weapon to counter the spin duo threat of Varun Chakravarthy and Sunil Narine. They will get some help off the surface, and Patidar must step up.
• Rajat Patidar’s only negative matchup in this game is Andre Russell, who has dismissed him twice in four balls.
• Rajat Patidar’s last five scores: 11, 6, 1, 12, & 23.

Krunal Pandya (RCB):

• Krunal Pandya has 171 runs at an average of 19 and a 114 strike rate in 12 innings in Bengaluru. He also has five wickets at an average of 75.40 and a 61 strike rate in 16 innings at this venue.
• Krunal Pandya will get some assistance off the deck in Bengaluru. The spinners have done better at this venue compared to previous seasons, increasing Krunal’s value.
• Krunal Pandya is no longer a defensive spinner. He has been a wicket-taker and can wreak havoc against a shaky KKR’s batting lineup.
• Krunal Pandya dismissed Ajinkya Rahane five times, while Sunil Narine, Venkatesh Iyer, and Rinku Singh have lost their wickets once each.
• If a few early wickets fall, Krunal Pandya might be promoted in the batting unit. There is a chance of a few quick dismissals, and Krunal’s batting value will increase.
• Krunal Pandya’s previous five scores: 73*, 1, 18, 5, & 0. Krunal Pandya’s last five figures: 1/24, 1/28, 2/31, 2/25, & 0/10.

Angkrish Raghuvanshi (KKR):

• Angkrish Raghuvanshi will bat in the middle order, and the new-ball movement might subside when he arrives. That will make his job easier.
• Angkrish Raghuvanshi has an average of 47.66 and a 134.90 strike rate against spinners in IPL 2025. Hence, he will be tasked to counter spin bowlers, who will get grip and turn in the middle overs. Krunal Pandya and Suyash Sharma have never dismissed him.
• Angkrish Raghuvanshi has a negative matchup against Yash Dayal, who has dismissed him twice in five balls.
• Angkrish Raghuvanshi has looked in good form this season. While a big score has eluded him, Angkrish has had starts in almost every game.

Varun Chakravarthy (KKR):

• Varun Chakravarthy has three wickets at an average of 15.66 and a strike rate of 12 in two innings in Bengaluru.

• Varun Chakravarthy has done reasonably well against most RCB batters. Barring dismissing them here and there, Varun has also been economical against most of them.
• Varun Chakravarthy’s previous five figures: 2/18, 2/32, 2/39, 1/39, & 0/33.

• Virat Kohli has done equally well against spinners this season, averaging 118.50 and striking at 135.42. While Sunil Narine has troubled him in the past, Kohli should manage to play him out this time.

Sunil Narine (KKR):

• Sunil Narine has 162 runs at an average of 27 and a 180 strike rate in eight innings in Bengaluru. He also has seven wickets at an average of 48.14 and a 37.71 in 11 innings here.

• Sunil Narine has dismissed Virat Kohli four times, Krunal Pandya thrice, and Romario Shepherd twice.
• Sunil Narine’s previous five scores: 26, 11, 27, 4*, & 17. Sunil Narine’s last five figures: 0/28, 0/27, 3/29, 0/35, & 0/36.

RCB vs KKR Player to Avoid

Rahmanullah Gurbaz (KKR):

• While Rahmanullah Gurbaz is a good player, we can avoid him for this game. Gurbaz will open the innings and will face the toughest conditions. Further, RCB have done well in the powerplay and can trouble him.

• Even in general, Rahmanullah Gurbaz can have issues with the moving ball. The chances of his success are low.
