Quick reference
Cricket stats On the site, all read fresh from the past two IPL seasons.
Wankhede dew: 6 of 7 home wins, how the play reshuffles the XI
Wankhede Stadium hosted 7 IPL 2024 matches. The home side won 6. First-innings average 178. Dew cuts spin grip 30 percent, lifts pacers 15 percent. Play-time captain picks shift post-toss: if side batting second, pacers gain value.
Play-time bankroll math: 5 percent cap wins the IPL season
Top 100 winners across IPL 2024 averaged 4.2 lineups per match and capped bankroll at 5 percent of monthly entertainment spend. Single-match focus beats multi-match chase. UPI deposits typically clear 5-30 minutes.
Captain 2x: how the 70-point actual becomes 140 fantasy
Captain 2x is the single largest points lever on every IPL platform. A 70-point actual becomes 140 fantasy. Suryakumar Yadav IPL 2024: per-match average 48.5 base points, with captain 2x that reads 97. Kohli's ceiling sits at 117.
Salary cap math: 100 credits, 11 picks, 8 roles minimum
100 credits, 11 players, 8 roles minimum. Wicket-keeper 1-4, batsman 1-8, all-rounder 1-4, bowler 1-6. Pant at 11 credits, Kohli at 11, Bumrah at 10.5. Cap forces 4-6 picks from the 7-8.5 credit bracket per squad.
Form index: last 5 innings outweighs last 10 by a wide margin
Form is weighted 50 percent of projection. Last 5 innings matter more than last 10. A batter with 240 runs in last 5 at 155 SR sits higher than 380 runs in last 10 at 130 SR. Form updates every match evening.
State rules for real-money play: 6 states remain restricted
Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Odisha, Sikkim, Nagaland remain restricted from real-money fantasy per the 2021 Supreme Court ruling. KYC needs PAN plus Aadhaar before first withdrawal. 18 plus only.

Across 10 franchises and 10 venues
Cricket-first depth. IPL 2026 mega-auction analytics. IPL 2024 and 2025 retrospective reads.
IPL 2026 mega auction in December 2025 sold 577 players across 10 franchises. Total spend Rs 639.15 crore. Rishabh Pant to LSG for Rs 27 crore held the highest individual bid. KL Rahul to DC for Rs 14 crore. Arshdeep Singh to PBKS for Rs 18 crore. Average price per player sat at Rs 1.10 crore.
Auction tier distribution: Tier 1 above Rs 15 crore (Pant LSG 27cr, Arshdeep PBKS 18cr). Tier 2 Rs 8 to 15 crore (Rahul DC 14cr, Chahar MI 9.5cr). Tier 3 Rs 5 to 8 crore. Tier 4 below Rs 5 crore holds 95 percent of the players sold. Capper ratio: top 1 percent of squad spends 35 percent of cap.
Highest unsold: David Warner at base price Rs 2 crore. Top 10 expensive players pulled 22 percent of total auction spend. Distribution skewed toward role-defined top picks. Sleeper picks (below Rs 50 lakh) account for the most fantasy value, hitting cap value at 1.7x the average tier-2 ratio.
Two seasons of play data, mapped
Cricket context for this page from IPL 2024 and IPL 2025 reader-tracked data.
IPL 2024 played 74 league matches across 10 venues, plus 4 playoff matches, total 78 fixtures. First-innings average across all venues sat at 173. Second-innings chase won 46 of those 78, a 59 percent chase success rate driven mostly by dew-friendly venues. Venue distribution by dew factor: high dew Wankhede, Chepauk, Eden Gardens, Mohali. Medium dew Bengaluru, Lucknow, Jaipur. Low dew Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Delhi. Venue history matters more in T20 cricket than across any other format. The past 5 seasons form the deepest read. Death overs cover overs 17 through 20. Pace bowlers dominate the wicket share at 64 percent. Slow bowlers take 28 percent. Part-timers pick up the remaining 8. Death-overs economy ratings below 8 qualify as elite. Above 10 reads as a liability for captain math. Death-overs batting at a flat track explodes with one six. A 40-point death over becomes 80 with a single six. A 10-point duck becomes 20. Death overs are the most chaotic phase of T20 cricket. Captain picks here chase ceiling rather than floor. T Natarajan SRH death-over economy 6.80 in IPL 2024.
Auction tier distribution: Tier 1 above Rs 15 crore (Pant LSG 27cr, Arshdeep PBKS 18cr). Tier 2 Rs 8 to 15 crore (Rahul DC 14cr, Chahar MI 9.5cr). Tier 3 Rs 5 to 8 crore.

Top 100 winners across IPL 2024 averaged 4.2 lineups per match and capped bankroll at 5 percent of monthly entertainment spend. Single-match focus beats multi-match chase. UPI deposits typically clear 5 to 30 minutes. The 5 percent cap holds the line across full-season contests. Bankroll math scales. INR 5,000 monthly spend at 5 percent cap gives INR 250 per match. INR 20,000 monthly spend gives INR 1,000 per match. The cap stays 5 percent regardless of scale. Above 10 percent per match, the season-end variance jumps. Below 2 percent, you lose the upside multiplier.
