Lucknow vs Bangalore on May 9
To keep their hopes alive to confirm a playoff berth, Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) cannot afford to drop points when they take on Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in Match No. 59 of the Indian Premier League 2025 on Friday, May 9, at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow. Notably, the Super Giants are currently holding the seventh position of the points table, and the Rishabh Pant-led side is in desperate need of a win. Having suffered four defeats from their last five games, LSG need to push themselves to get back to winning ways. The best they can do now is win all their remaining matches, finish on 16 points, and hope that some results fall in their favour.For RCB, the road ahead is slightly easier as they require just one more win to confirm their qualification. Notably, if they win two out of their remaining three games, they guarantee a top-two finish. Rajat Patidar has led his troops brilliantly in his debut year as captain. With this being another away game, RCB will look to better their record on the road.
Best economical pick – Krunal Pandya has contributed with both bat and ball in various matches and will be a handy budget pick for this match.
Top captains & vice captains – Star RCB batter Virat Kohli is currently fourth in the list of highest run-getters in the ongoing IPL 2025 season, and could once again make his bat do all the talking. The 36-year-old has smashed 505 runs in 11 matches so far in the competition, including seven fifties. Kohli can prove to be a massive threat to LSG in the upcoming game. Notably, the veteran batter has smashed 139 runs in five innings against LSG since 2022.Nicholas Pooran has scored 410 runs in eleven matches at a strike rate of 200 so far this season. He will be keen to do well once again.
Smart pick –Ace pacer Josh Hazlewood has been the standout bowler for RCB this season. The Australian has picked up 18 wickets from 10 matches so far, and with that, he is currently third in the IPL Purple Cap race. Hazelwood, who missed the previous game, will be coming in fresh for the upcoming clash. The 34-year-old has been brilliant in the powerplay overs, giving his team early breakthroughs.
Cautious Pick – Rishabh Pant has had a disappointing IPL 2025 so far, scoring just 128 runs in 11 matches at an average of around 12.8, with only one notable innings and several single-digit scores. The pressure of captaincy and his record-breaking price tag seem to have affected his form and confidence, making him a risky pick for your fantasy team.
My XI – Virat Kohli(Captain),Nicholas Pooran(Vice-Captain),Josh Hazlewood,Krunal Pandya,Aiden Markram, Ayush Badoni, David Miller, Digvesh Singh Rathi, Jacob Bethell, Rajat Patidar, Romario Shepherd

Punjab vs Delhi on May 8
Punjab Kings will take on Delhi Capitals in the 58th match of the Indian Premier League. This match will be played at Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association in Dharamsala. 74 matches will be played across 13 cities over the next two months as the IPL fever kicks off. Qualifier 1 and the Eliminator will be played in Hyderabad on May 20 and 21, respectively. Qualifier 2, on May 23, and the final on May 25, will be in Kolkata. Punjab Kings are third in the table with seven wins and three losses in eleven matches. They beat Lucknow Super Giants in the previous match at the same venue and will be keen to continue their good form. On the other hand, Delhi Capitals are fifth in the table with six wins and four losses in eleven matches. Their previous match against Sunrisers Hyderabad ended in a no result due to rain. This promises to be a closely fought game between these two sides.
Best economical pick – Young PBKS opener Priyansh Arya has been in a sensational form in the ongoing IPL 2025. He has scored 347 runs in ten innings
Top captains & vice captains – Punjab Kings' skipper Shreyas Iyer could be the best batter in the upcoming game against Delhi Capitals. With 405 runs in his last 11 matches, Iyer is one of the best performers for his side in the tournament. Coming off a decent knock against LSG, the right-handed batter will be hopeful to attack the Delhi bowlers similarly.The stylish right-handed batter KL Rahul has made 381 runs in the last ten matches he has played so far for DC. He will be expected to continue his solid form in this game.
Smart pick –Punjab Kings’ Arshdeep Singh could be the best bowler in the upcoming game. With 16 wickets in his 11 matches, Arshdeep is the fourth-highest wicket-taker in the competition, and his performance could be crucial against DC. In the previous game, the left-arm pacer ran through the LSG top-order and took three wickets under the powerplay.
Cautious Pick – Karun Nair had a spectacular start to IPL 2025 with a blazing 89 off 40 balls against Mumbai Indians, but his form has been inconsistent since, with two ducks and only one other notable score (44 off 10 balls), while his other innings have been modest or low-scoring. Given this patchy performance, it may be wise to avoid selecting him in your fantasy team.
My XI – Shreyas Iyer(Captain),KL Rahul(Vice-Captain),Priyansh Arya,Arshdeep Singh,Prabhsimran Singh, Josh Inglis, Yuzvendra Chahal, Abishek Porel, Tristan Stubbs, Axar Patel, Faf du Plessis

Kolkata vs Chennai on May 7
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) continue their ongoing IPL 2025 campaign by taking on Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in their upcoming match. Both sides will face off at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata in the 57th game of the tournament on Wednesday, May 07. Kolkata will be coming into the clash after registering a one-run win over Rajasthan Royals at the same venue. The recent win has kept their hopes alive to stay in the race for a playoff berth. The Ajinkya Rahane-led side will look to win all their remaining games and hope other team results land in their favour.On the other hand, the MS Dhoni-led side is coming off its fourth consecutive defeat. Being the first team to be eliminated this season, the Yellow Army has a good opportunity to spoil other teams' parties. Notably, CSK has had an upper hand over the Men in Purple in the past and will look to better that.
Best economical pick – KKR's star spinner Varun Chakaravarthy has always put his hand up whenever the team is in a tough spot. With 15 wickets in his last 11 matches, the mystery bowler has been KKR's highest wicket-taker this season so far. Chakaravarthy, who is well-versed with the pitch conditions, will be looking to use them to his advantage and bamboozle the CSK batters.
Top captains & vice captains – Sam Curran is a talented all-rounder and scored 88 runs a few games back. He will also bowl a few oves which makes him a good captaincy pick. Angkrish Raghuvanshi could be the best batter in the upcoming game against the Chennai Super Kings. With 285 runs in his last 10 innings, the right-hand batter has been a dependable batter for the defending champions so far. The young batter is coming off a solid 44-run cameo against the Rajasthan Royals and will be hoping to carry on the same momentum.
Smart pick –Noor Ahmad is a quality spinner and conditions will suit him and he will be a top pick against this opposition. He has picked up 16 wickets in eleven matches this season.
Cautious Pick – Deepak Hooda has struggled significantly in IPL 2025 so far, scoring just 31 runs in five innings at a poor average of 6.20, failing to make any meaningful impact for Chennai Super Kings. Given this underwhelming form and lack of contributions, it would be reasonable to avoid picking him in your fantasy team.
My XI – Sam Curran(Captain),Angkrish Raghuvanshi(Vice-Captain),Noor Ahmad,Varun Chakaravarthy,Rahmanullah Gurbaz,Ajinkya Rahane,Andre Russell,Ayush Mhatre,Ravindra Jadeja, Dewald Brevis,Sunil Narine

Mumbai vs Gujarat on May 6
Mumbai Indians (MI) will be locking horns with the Gujarat Titans (GT) at the iconic Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Tuesday, May 6. The hosts are coming off six consecutive wins, with three coming while defending totals, and the remaining during pursuit of targets. The five-time champions have had one of the best turnarounds this season and are currently holding the third spot in the points tally. MI are also in contention for finishing in the top two and having a good chance of ending their five-year title drought.On the other hand, GT are another team who have looked in solid touch this season and are favourites to lift their second IPL title. The Shubman Gill-led side is coming off a clinical 38-run win over Sunrisers Hyderabad. Notably, the last time these two sides faced each other in Ahmedabad, Gujarat emerged victorious by 36 runs, thanks to Sai Sudharsan and Prasidh Krishna's efforts.
Best economical pick – Ryan Rickelton has had a solid debut IPL season in 2025, scoring 334 runs in 11 matches at an average of 33.40 and a strike rate around 154, including impactful knocks like 62 (41) against KKR and 61 (38) against RR. His aggressive starts at the top and consistent contributions make him a reliable fantasy pick, especially considering his dual role as a wicketkeeper-batter for Mumbai Indians
Top captains & vice captains – GT opener Sai Sudharsan already has managed 504 runs in 10 innings this season. Being second on the top run-scorers list up until now, it may be expected for him to score big yet again. The southpaw has been in the form of his life, scoring runs at will. With the former champions requiring a win in this game, Sudharsan's bat needs to do the talking once again.Suryakumar Yadav has been the standout batter of IPL 2025 so far, leading the Orange Cap race with 475 runs from 11 matches at a remarkable strike rate of 172.73 and an average of 67.86, consistently scoring at least 25 runs in every game this season. His extraordinary form, versatility, and ability to dominate bowlers in all conditions make him an excellent vice captaincy pick for your fantasy team.
Smart pick –Jasprit Bumrah has taken 11 wickets in seven matches this season and might be expected to fire once again. Coming off a match-winning spell against the Rajasthan Royals, Bumrah will be running high on confidence. MI skipper Hardik Pandya will bank on his star bowler to tackle Gujarat's solid batting line-up and provide crucial breakthroughs.
Cautious Pick – Rahul Tewatia has had a disappointing IPL 2025 season so far, scoring only 43 runs in 10 matches at a low average of 6.14, with no significant contributions either with the bat or ball. Given his lack of impact and form, it would be wise to avoid picking him in your fantasy team.
My XI – Sai Sudharsan(Captain),Suryakumar Yadav(Vice-Captain),Jasprit Bumrah,Ryan Rickelton, Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Jos Buttler, Prasidh Krishna, Hardik Pandya,Will Jacks,Washington Sundar

Hyderabad vs Delhi on May 5
The IPL 2025 will travel to the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad for Match 55 as Sunrisers Hyderabad gear up to take on Delhi Capitals on Monday, May 05. With just three wins in 10 games, the home team are virtually eliminated from the tournament and are no more in the race for the playoffs. The Pat Cummins-led side are coming off a 38-run defeat at the hands of the Gujarat Titans in a high-scoring game at Ahmedabad. This season hasn't gone the way planned for the Orange Army, with their top-order and fast bowling specialists struggling with form. However, with no pressure of qualifications, SRH will hope to give their opposition a tough time in the middle.On the other hand, Delhi's second half of the season has been underwhelming, with four losses in their last six games. With the tournament moving towards its business end rapidly, and teams are pushing hard to finish in the top four, the Axar Patel-led side needs to bring a different plan to decimate the opposition. Notably, the last time these two sides faced each other this season, the Capitals came out victorious by seven wickets.
Best economical pick – Delhi Capitals’ Kuldeep Yadav could be a possible threat to the opposition batters with his bowling. With 12 wickets in his last 10 matches, Yadav has been in good form, and his spell could trouble SRH. Notably, last time these two locked horns earlier in the season, the chinaman delivered a spell of 3/22 and played a key role in Delhi's win.
Top captains & vice captains – Delhi Capitals’ veteran opener Faf du Plessis could be the best batter on his side’s upcoming game against Sunrisers Hyderabad. With a fighting knock of 62 runs in his previous game, the South African will be keen on putting in a similar performance against SRH and propelling his side further up the standings. Faf has managed to score 165 in five innings at an average of 33.00 and a strike rate of 134.14, including two fifties.Team India dasherAbhishek Sharmahas racked up an incredible 314 runs in the last ten matches he has played so far. He will be expected to perform well here on their own backyard.
Smart pick –The South African sensation Heinrich Klaasen has racked up an incredible 311 runs in the last ten matches he has played so far. He will be expected to perform well here on their home turf.
Cautious Pick – Ishan Kishan’s IPL 2025 performance has been highly inconsistent: after a sensational unbeaten 106 off 47 balls in his first match, he struggled to make an impact in the next nine games, registering scores of 0, 2, 2, 17, 23, 14, 44, and 13, with only one other notable contribution of 44 runs. This patchy form-one explosive century followed by a string of low scores-suggests that while he has immense match-winning potential, his current lack of consistency makes him a risky pick for your fantasy team.
My XI – Faf du Plessis(Captain),Abhishek Sharma(Vice-Captain),Heinrich Klaasen,Kuldeep Yadav, KL Rahul, Abhisek Porel, Axar Patel, Mitchell Starc, Travis Head,Karun Nair, Nitish Kumar Reddy

PBKS have shown improved consistency and are just a win or two away from likely securing their first playoff berth since 2014.LSG have struggled recently, losing their last two matches, including a heavy defeat to Mumbai Indians. Their campaign is at a crossroads, and another loss could severely dent their playoff hopes.LSG leads the rivalry with 3 wins to PBKS’s 2 in their five IPL meetings so far.

Given his ongoing struggles and lack of consistency despite being the most expensive player this season, it would be wise to avoid picking him in your fantasy.

Kolkata vs Rajasthan on May 4
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will look to keep their playoff chances alive when they host Rajasthan Royals (RR) at the iconic Eden Gardens on Sunday, May 3, in match No. 53 of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2025). KKR are positioned at No. 7 on the points table, having won four games and lost five. One of their matches ended without a result. In their most recent fixture, the defending champions beat Delhi Capitals by 14 runs at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. Meanwhile, the Rajasthan Royals were knocked out of the race to the playoffs after their 100-run defeat to the Mumbai Indians earlier this week. The inaugural champions have only managed three wins in 11 matches in what has been a forgettable season for them. KKR and RR met earlier in the season in Guwahati. The Knights won the match by eight wickets, chasing down a 152-run target in 17.3 overs. Ajinkya Rahane's men are the favourites once again, but expect RR to come out all guns blazing as they do not have the pressure of qualifying for the next phase of the tournament.
Best economical pick – Vaibhav Suryavanshi, just 14 years old, has made headlines with a record-breaking century-101 off 38 balls-against Gujarat Titans (GT) in the most recent RR vs GT fixture, helping Rajasthan Royals (RR) chase down 210 with ease.He became the youngest player to score a T20 and IPL hundred, and his 35-ball century is the fastest by an Indian in IPL history and the second-fastest overall.In the match immediately following his century, Suryavanshi was dismissed for a two-ball duck, as the RR batting lineup collapsed against Mumbai Indians.If you are looking for a high-upside, differential pick in your fantasy team, Vaibhav Suryavanshi is a strong option-especially given his record-breaking century against the same opponent (GT) just a few days ago.
Top captains & vice captains – Opener Yashasvi Jaiswal had a slow start to the season, but he has been in stellar form in the recent matches for the Royals. The southpaw has aggregated 439 runs from 11 matches at an average of 43.90 and a strike rate of 154.04. He will be the batter to look out for on Sunday.The willy off-spinner has been delivering consistent performances throughout the season. Sunil Narine might not have taken too many wickets in every game, but he has been hard to score runs off. The veteran has taken 10 wickets from nine games at an average of 25.40 and a strike rate of 19.80. He has an economy rate of 7.70. Narine's four overs will be crucial on Sunday.
Smart pick –Angkrish Raghuvanshi has been a consistent performer for Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL 2025, scoring 241 runs in 9 matches at an impressive average of 40.16 and a healthy strike rate of 146.95, including a crucial half-century against Sunrisers Hyderabad. His ability to provide quick runs in the middle order and convert starts into impactful scores makes him a strong candidate for your fantasy team.
Cautious Pick – Shimron Hetmyer has struggled for consistency in IPL 2025, scoring just 187 runs in 11 matches at an average of 20.78 and a strike rate of 150.81, with only one half-century and several low scores. Given his underwhelming returns and lack of big innings this season, it would be reasonable to consider avoiding him in your fantasy team.
My XI – Yashasvi Jaiswal(Captain),Sunil Narine(Vice-Captain),Vaibhav Suryavanshi,Angkrish Raghuvanshi,Rahmanullah Gurbaz,Ajinkya Rahane,Andre Russell,Jofra Archer,Nitish Rana, Riyan Parag,Varun Chakaravarthy

Gujarat vs Hyderabad on May 2
The 51st match of the IPL 2025 will witness Gujarat Titans (GT) locking horns with Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at the majestic Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Friday, May 02. GT will aim to bounce back after their recent defeat against the Rajasthan Royals in Jaipur on April 28. The Shubman Gill-led side lost the game by eight wickets, all thanks to the young centurion, Vaibhav Suryavanshi. GT posted 209/4 after their 20 overs, where Gill scored a 50-ball 84, including five boundaries and four sixes, while Jos Buttler contributed with a valuable unbeaten fifty as well. RR chased down the target with ease courtesy of Suryavanshi and Yashasvi Jaiswal, who guided the team to their third win of the season.Meanwhile, SRH are also coming off a positive win over Chennai Super Kings at Chepauk. However, the ongoing season hasn't gone the way they would have planned, as they have secured only three wins, but as many as six losses in nine games. The Pat Cummins-led side still has a slim chance of qualifying for the playoffs, and the team will look to give a final try and hope to win all their remaining five games to pull off a miraculous top four finish.
Best economical pick – Harshal Patel has been the best pacer for the Hyderabad-based franchise this season. He can take crucial wickets in the middle and death over, putting his team in the driving seat with his bowling. The right-armer has once again been among wickets, 13 wickets in eight matches. With the Ahmedabad pitch supporting pacers, Harshal will be determined to use it to his advantage.
Top captains & vice captains – Sai Sudharsan holds the key for the Gujarat Titans in the batting department. Coming in as an opener, he can provide a strong start and take them to a big total. The southpaw has been scoring runs for his side and forming a formidable opening duo alongside Shubman Gill. In nine matches, he has scored 456 runs and currently holds the Orange Cap. Sudharsan has been in fine touch and will be looking to continue it in the upcoming clash.Travis Head is an aggressive batter at the top of the order and had a great season last time scoring 567 runs in 15 matches.
Smart pick –Jos Buttler has scored 356 runs in eight matches so far this season and will be a top pick against this opposition.
Cautious Pick – Nitish Kumar Reddy’s performance in IPL 2025 so far has been underwhelming, with 152 runs in 9 matches at an average of 21.71 and a strike rate of 113.43, and no half-centuries or significant bowling contributions. Compared to his impressive 2024 season, his current form suggests he is struggling to make impactful contributions, so it would be reasonable to consider avoiding him in your fantasy team.
My XI – Sai Sudharsan(Captain),Travis Head(Vice-Captain),Jos Buttler,Harshal Patel,Shubman Gill, Jos Buttler, Prasidh Krishna, Rashid Khan, Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan, Heinrich Klaasen

Rajasthan vs Mumbai on May 1
Rajasthan Royals (RR) continue their ongoing IPL 2025 campaign by taking on Mumbai Indians (MI) in their upcoming match. Both sides will face off at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur in the 50th game of the tournament on Thursday, May 01. The Royals will be coming into the clash after a dominating victory in their last match against the Gujarat Titans by eight wickets, courtesy of 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi's scintillating ton. The home team finally broke their five-match losing streak to keep their slim playoff hopes alive. Riyan Parag-led team are currently sitting in the eighth position with six points and a negative NRR of 0.349.On the other hand, Mumbai has made a dramatic turnaround in its campaign, winning five games in a row to hold the second position in the tally. The Hardik Pandya-led side, which was earlier at the ninth spot, has quickly regrouped and found their rhythm. With the aspiration of finishing in the top two, Mumbai will leave no stone unturned in the coming game.
Best economical pick – Vaibhav Suryavanshi has been nothing short of sensational: in just three matches, the 14-year-old has scored 151 runs at a remarkable strike rate of 215.71, including a record-shattering 38-ball 101 against Gujarat Titans-making him the youngest centurion in IPL and T20 history, and the scorer of the second-fastest IPL century ever. His fearless batting, highlighted by a 17-ball fifty (the fastest in IPL 2025) and 11 sixes in a single innings, has drawn praise from legends and played a crucial role in reviving Rajasthan Royals’ campaign, making him an outstanding pick for your fantasy team.
Top captains & vice captains – Rajasthan's dependable opener Yashasvi Jaiswal could be the best batter in the upcoming game against the Mumbai Indians. With 426 runs in 10 matches, Jaiswal currently sits in the fourth position on the highest run-getter list this season. Notably, in his last five innings, he has produced four fifty-plus scores and was dismissed on 49 against RCB. The Southpaw will be running high on confidence and look to hammer the MI bowlers all around the park.Suryakumar Yadav has a stunning record in this format and has done well for both India and Mumbai Indians. He scored a half century in the last game and we can back him to do well.
Smart pick –MI's skipper Hardik Pandya could be crucial with the ball in the forthcoming match against the Royals. Pandya, who has taken 12 wickets in nine games, is currently the second-highest wicket-taker for his side. Interestingly, the all-rounder's record at this ground in IPL has been decent, taking three wickets in four games at an average of 33.00 and an economy of 9.28.
Cautious Pick – Tilak Varma’s IPL 2025 season so far has been steady but not exceptional: in 10 matches, he has scored 239 runs at an average of 39.83 and a strike rate of 140.58, with two fifties and a top score of 59 against Delhi Capitals. While he has shown glimpses of form, including a 56 (29) against RCB and 59 (33) against DC, his overall impact has been moderate, making him a reasonable but not must-have pick for your fantasy team.
My XI – Yashasvi Jaiswal (Captain),Suryakumar Yadav(Vice-Captain),Hardik Pandya,Vaibhav Suryavanshi,Nitish Rana, Riyan Parag,Jofra Archer,Ryan Rickelton, Rohit Sharma,Jasprit Bumrah,Trent Boult
