Captain and Vice-Captain Picks
Captain: Shubman Gill (GT) — Gill is the standout captain pick for this match. The GT skipper is in tremendous form and has a superb record at northern Indian venues. Mullanpur's pitch suits his elegant stroke play, and as a right-handed opener he will look to dominate from the first ball. His fantasy average of 65+ points makes him the safest captain pick regardless of toss outcome.
Vice-Captain: Shreyas Iyer (PBKS) — Iyer returns to Mullanpur as PBKS captain and will be fired up for the home opener. His record against GT is exceptional and the Mullanpur pitch, which offers good bounce, suits his back-foot game perfectly. As the PBKS captain and number three batter, he gets maximum batting time.
Key Players to Watch
Arshdeep Singh (PBKS): The left-arm seamer is one of the most reliable fantasy bowlers in IPL. At his home venue in Mullanpur, he knows the conditions better than anyone. His ability to take wickets in the powerplay and death overs makes him a must-pick with a genuine 4-wicket upside.
Priyansh Arya (PBKS): The explosive PBKS opener was one of the most destructive batters in IPL 2025. He attacks from ball one and can score 40-60 runs in 20 balls on his day. At home in Mullanpur with a partisan crowd, expect Arya to come out swinging.
Differential Pick — Azmatullah Omarzai (PBKS)
Omarzai is the differential pick for this match. The Afghan all-rounder bats in the top six, bowls four crucial overs, and is expected to have low ownership under 15% because bigger names dominate selections. At ₹8.5cr he is outstanding value — a genuine match-winner who can contribute 40+ fantasy points with both bat and ball.
Fantasy Tips Summary
- Mullanpur pitch suits pacers — load up on Arshdeep and Siraj
- Gill is the safest captain pick regardless of toss
- PBKS home advantage is significant at Mullanpur
- If GT win toss and bat — upgrade Gill to captain immediately
