The Mumbai Indians are all set to face off against the Gujarat Titans in the ninth match of the IPL 2025. This match will be played at the Narendra Modi Cricket Stadium in Ahmedabad on 29th March at 7:30 PM IST.

To win in Dream11 predictions, it is very necessary to pick the correct players in your fantasy teams. Similarly it is necessary to know the players you need to stay away from. On the bases of venue performances, match-up datas and recent form, here are three players you can stay away from or who can be risky picks in this game. 

1. Rohit Sharma (Mumbai Indians)

While he is a legendary batsman, there are several concerning factors that make Rohit Sharma a risky fantasy pick for this specific match:

  • Poor record at Narendra Modi Stadium with an average of just 20.44 and a strike rate below 100 in recent outings
  • Specific matchup struggles against Mohammed Siraj
  • He bats in the top order where pace bowlers have dominated at this venue

2. Hardik Pandya (Mumbai Indians)

Despite his all-round capabilities, Hardik Pandya presents significant fantasy risks for this match:

  • Limited batting impact at this venue with a modest average of 16.33
  • Will likely bowl during middle overs when GT's strongest batsmen typically consolidate

3. Kagiso Rabada (Gujarat Titans)

Though a premier fast bowler, several factors suggest Kagiso Rabada might underperform in this particular fixture:

  • No established track record at Narendra Modi Stadium in the analyzed period
  • Head-to-head numbers against MI's middle order batters show limited success
  • Recently signed to GT, meaning less familiarity with home conditions compared to established GT bowlers

The data shows that Narendra Modi Stadium tends to favour top-order batters in the first innings (average score 202) and pace bowlers throughout the match. Players with poor venue-specific numbers and challenging matchups against opposition players are particularly risky fantasy picks, even if they have strong overall records in the IPL.
