The seamer picked up a wicket on his IPL debut against PBKS, and seems like a genuine wicket-taker, capable of generating plenty of pace and bounce. RR&#8217;s Brijesh Sharma is another option priced at seven credits, whom we could consider.<\/p>\n<p>Yashasvi Jaiswal made a pretty slow, yet unbeaten 38*, as RR cruised to a win over CSK in their opening clash, but he&#8217;ll welcome the change in conditions, as a batting paradise awaits. While he doesn&#8217;t have the best of records in the IPL at the Narendra Modi Stadium, the conditions and his high point-scoring ceiling make him a decent pick.<\/p>\n<p>With none of the GT top order in particularly good form, there isn&#8217;t much to separate them as IPL Fantasy options. As such, we&#8217;re electing to punt on Jos Buttler for this fixture. He averages a healthy 59.1 and scores at a strike rate of 158.7 at the Narendra Modi Stadium, and is a pretty impressive captaincy option on paper.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2>IPL Fantasy 2026 &#8211; Fantasy XI for Match 9 &#8211;
