Predicted impact players for Rajasthan Royals (RR)

• Shubham Dubey – A left-handed batter who can be used as a slogger in the latter stages of the innings, especially if RR lose early wickets in the first innings.
• Tushar Deshpande – Having performed well for CSK in the previous edition, he could be subbed in during the second innings if conditions favour pacers. He picked up 17 wickets in 13 matches last season.
• Kwena Maphaka – A high-pace bowler who consistently clocks deliveries over 145 kph. He can be a handy substitute in the second innings if RR bat first.
• Kumar Kartikeya – A left-arm spinner who was brought in as an impact sub in the game against CSK. He can be brought in again if conditions are favourable for spinners. 

Predicted impact players for Gujarat Titans (GT)

• Anuj Rawat – The talented batter can be used as an impact substitute if Gujarat lose early wickets while batting first or if they are chasing a big target in the second innings.
• Ishant Sharma – The experienced pacer can be utilised as an impact player when bowling second, especially if the conditions favour pacers. He has picked up 95 wickets in 115 IPL matches.
• Sherfane Rutherford – He provides an option as a middle-order batter and was used as an impact substitute in the last game against PBKS. He might be brought in if GT needs extra batting depth after losing early wickets, or he can be introduced in the second innings by replacing a bowler.
