GT Predicted Playing XI vs RCB, Match 34, IPL 2026 

Top-order: Sai Sudharsan, Shubman Gill (C), Jos Buttler (WK)

Sai Sudharsan hasn’t been in great nick so far this season. However, the same can’t be said about Gujarat captain Shubman Gill. He needs 59 runs on Friday to take the Orange Cap from Abhishek Sharma. Meanwhile, Jos Buttler has also looked in fine touch, scoring 206 runs in six innings at an average of 34.33.

Middle-order: Washington Sundar, Jason Holder, Shahrukh Khan, Rashid Khan

Washington Sundar has fared decently with the bat. However, he would want to make more of an impact with the ball. Jason Holder could finally play his first game of the season after Glenn Phillips failed yet again with the bat in the last match against the Mumbai Indians. Shahrukh Khan is having yet another underwhelming season, scoring just 35 runs in four innings. Rashid Khan has bowled much better than the last two seasons in the IPL but managed only six wickets in six games.

Bowlers: Mohammed Siraj, Kagiso Rabada, Prasidh Krishna, Ashok Sharma

Mohammed Siraj will play a key role with the new ball in tandem with Kagiso Rabada. The latter has been in red-hot form this season, bagging 10 wickets in six matches. Prasidh Krishna will reclaim the Purple Cap if he gets amongst the wickets on Friday. So far, he has 12 wickets in six games. Ashok Sharma has impressed with his pace. He has also varied his pace nicely.

GT’s Predicted Playing XI: 

Shubman Gill (c), Sai Sudharsan, Jos Buttler (wk), Washington Sundar, Jason Holder, Shahrukh Khan, Rashid Khan, Mohammed Siraj, Kagiso Rabada, Prasidh Krishna, Ashok Sharma
