Fantasy cricket league’s team-building guidelines

Every fantasy app includes rules and regulations for team building. You can use all 22 players from both teams to create your squad.

You have two slots for a wicketkeeper in the team. You can designate one of them as the wicketkeeper of your team. 

Batsmen

All-rounders

Platforms may allow a maximum of three all-rounders in a team of eleven. Pick one all-rounder and a maximum of three for your team. 

Bowlers

You may select a maximum of five bowlers for the team. Include a minimum of three bowlers for the team.

Uncapped player

Play Fantasy cricket like an expert.

Once you create your dream fantasy cricket team, it is time to implement your cricketing acumen. You need to read the point system of the platform. We have created a separate blog to help you understand the point system. 

Online cricket app point system

The point system grants you a point for every action your team player performs in a live match, such as

  • Boundary
  • Six
  • Catch
  • Wicket taken
  • Duck
  • Runout
  • Stumping
  • Hit wicket

Captain (2X) & vice-captain (1.5X) – all-around

It is where you gain the maximum point. Hence, selecting the captain and vice-captain of the team can be the GameChanger. Most likely that an all-rounder can get you better points because they score with both bat and ball. It is wise to designate one of your all-rounders as captain or vice-captain. But if you have a purple patch batter or a bowler, you may go for them as a captain or vice-captain. Since the top-order batters, the top 3, are likely to play more deliveries than others. Picking them as a captain or a vice-captain could be a wise decision.

Cognizant of last-minute changes

You may see last-minute changes in the playing eleven in both teams. The team think-tank decides after inspecting the match and field condition or because of some last-minute detected injury. Alter your team accordingly. If the team management drops a player from the playing eleven and, if you have included that player in your team, you need to drop the player to match the decision. Wait until the toss takes place. The organizers will announce the last eleven of both teams shortly after the toss. You can ensure that all the players you have included in your fantasy team are in the playing eleven.

Best fantasy captain and vice-captain for India

The captain plays a crucial role in earning fantasy points. Most operators offer 2X points for the captain and 1.5X for the vice-captain. We pick Virat Kohli and Shubman Gill in their respective positions so you can earn massive points.

Captaincy 

Virat Kohli: Batter, India

The Indian genius is in incredible touch this year. Hit back-to-back centuries in the Indian T20 League. He has a stellar record in Test cricket. He is one of the most dependable batters in the history of Test Cricket. Having over 8400 runs under his wings at an enviable average of 49. He has whopping 28 Test hundreds, including 186 in the last game. Kohli could be your captain or vice-captain, as he will not miss this opportunity of a few tons.

Marcus Labuschagne: Batter, Australia

Marcus Labuschagne holds an impressive record in the test format. He has already bagged 3394 runs from 37 tests at an average of 57, with ten centuries. He scored 502 runs in the County Championship averaging 72, with two tons. Consider him for captaincy or vice-captaincy.

Pat Cummins: Bowler, Australia 

Pat Cummins is an experienced campaigner with the bowl in the pressure conditions in England and knows the field condition that will suit him. He picked 217 wickets in the test format at an average of 21.50. 5-wicket haul or more wickets in an innings on eight occasions. He is a good option for earning points on his wicket-taking ability and as captain or vice-captain.

Differential Picks

Rohit Sharma: Batter, India 

Rohit Sharma emerged as one of the most dependable batters in Test cricket in the last few years. He bagged 1794 runs as an opener at an impressive average of 53 with six tons. Only 26% of the fantasy teams picked him. He can prove to be a good differential.

Scott Boland: Bowler, Australia

Scott Boland had an impressive start in test cricket, picking 28 wickets from seven matches at an average of 13.42. Boland could be the bowling option in English conditions. Less than 5% of the fantasy teams selected him, offering potentially great differential value.
