Tips & Tricks for Fantasy Sports Cricket Players

Tips & Tricks for Fantasy Sports Cricket Players It’s almost 17, 18 years ago that when we were at ESPN, we started the first-ever fantasy game for cricket in India. It used to be called the super selector. And in those days from Bogalay to Ravi Shastri to Navjot to do it, everyone was being a super selector. And over the years, you’ve had a lot of experience in making that happen. And now fantasy sports app development, especially cricket, is so, so big. So what I’m going to try and tell you is about a few things which really work in fantasy sports and those basic rules haven’t changed over these years. So these are my five pointers for playing fantasy games. And these are really basic pointers because I don’t need I believe you need to get the basics right and then we’ll go into detail later onwards and talk about what else you can do in fantasy. But

first, the basic five that you need to get right. One, win if you’re playing a fantasy game with two teams playing on that to make sure the players you pick make the team, it’s all very well to have it. But if a player is not playing the game at all, he cannot give you fantasy points. So if you have even the slightest bit of doubt that this guy is not going to be playing anyone, do not pick him because it does not make sense. A player sitting outside cannot perform for you. Next, do not rely on reputations. It sounds really good. It’s fantastic to say you have that thing as a great player. But your razzing might have been a fantastic IPL player in 2011 at twenty-eighteen. He may not be giving you that. So do not rely on reputations. You know, sometimes you look at the batting guard, the bowling guard, and say, wow, what a team. But actually, you’ve

got to pick on form, not on the reputation of picking the form, not on reputation three. Check the pitches. You have to do that homework. Check the pitches. You know, the problem is you talk about Calcutta. You and I go back and I tell people, they say, well, Eden Gardens must be a spinning paradise. Pick spinners. Eden Gardens is one of the fastest pitches in the country today. Those old tunnels that Gotham can use to have in then go berserk. The pitch is no longer that you need to be informed about what the pitches are playing like now because that’s going to make a huge difference to your team and this changes almost every year. So last year, apparently the pitch for our was a very slow pitch, but to settle down and get faster this year, you need to do that homework. The fourth point, when you’re looking at batsmen, look at one, two, three, and four, and you say, well, you know,

they’re great batsman five and six and seven. The fact of the matter is, if you’re playing the odds, they don’t get as much opportunity as batsmen playing at one, two, three, and four. The odds of those four players getting more of a chance to bat more runs, more positions. It’s always the take a look at it Dhoni splits so many IPL matches. He is the brand ambassador of Dream11. Dream11 is a fantasy sports application. You can Develop your fantasy sports software. Has he made as many runs as China? And he doesn’t. That’s because China back to three Cottam gambit has made a lot of runs, got going beat back up the road to my backyard. You have to pick batsmen at one, two, three or four. It doesn’t matter if a genius is batting at seven. Unless you’re picking him as an all-rounder, do not pick him. And the last thing, look at unfashionable wicket-takers. The very interesting thing is you’re not really getting a lot of points if your player has great economy tips.

So it doesn’t matter. So classic case of this is Amit Mishra taking a lot of wickets. If he’s playing SPUs Charlo, they take wickets, it gets smashed also, but they take wickets, and here you’re getting points for getting wickets. Another great example is Vinnicombe always because he plays around a lot with the ball, always doesn’t have a great economy, but he does get his wickets.
