RR vs RCB Dream11 Prediction Today | Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing XI, Pitch Report – IPL 2025, 28th Match

Match Preview

The Rajasthan Royals are back in familiar territory as they return to the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. Rajasthan’s performance has been a bit underwhelming, to say the least. Despite having a strong team with talented domestic players, the team has been unable to deliver the desired results.

On the other hand, the Royal Challengers have fared better, especially in away games, where they have won 3 in 3. The batsmen have led the charge and have been well-supported by the bowlers. RCB hopes to continue playing well and climbing up the table.

Pitch Report & Weather Conditions

This is the first match of this season that will be played in Jaipur so we reckon that chasing might be a better option here. That said, we expect a good batting surface that has good pace and bounce. The bowlers might get some help if they pitch the ball in the right areas.

The afternoons in Jaipur are very hot and dry and the temperature will remain over 35 degrees with bright sunshine. It is unlikely that dew will play a part here.

RR vs RCB Dream11 Top Picks

Wicketkeeper

Both, Sanju Samson and Phil Salt have played well this season and find a place in our team.

Batters

Virat Kohli, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Rajat Patidar are our primary choices in this slot. We are also picking up Tim David as he has played some good cameos.

All Rounders

While there are quite a few all-rounders in both teams, there hasn’t been a standout performer. Nevertheless, we are picking up Riyan Parag and Liam Livingstone as they have been the best among the lot.

Bowlers

The seamers are likely to get more wickets here and that’s why we are opting for Jofra Archer and Josh Hazlewood. Theekshana is our first-choice spinner to keep a balanced attack.

RR vs RCB Captain and Vice-Captain Choices

Captain

We are going with Virat Kohli as our captain. He seems to be in good form and has played well in almost all matches. Seeing the way he has batted, Kohli looks set for a big inning soon and this might be his game.

Vice-Captain

Sanju Samson is the leading run-scorer for the Rajasthan Royals and has a good record at Jaipur. He is also quite sharp behind the stumps and can earn points while fielding.
