Captain picks, weekly fixture primer, points reference and state-by-state eligibility — published by an editorial desk that reads every fixture, follows every squad, and only publishes what the match calendar supports.
Three fixtures, four squad calls, and one captain pick that survives a swing in the powerplay. The Vision11 desk treats every matchweek the same way: read the squads first, then build the team.
The Tuesday T20 at Chepauk, the Wednesday ODI in Pune and the Friday evening fixture in Mumbai are the three matches the desk is reading first. Powerplay wickets have been the highest-leverage signal across the last six matchweeks; we'll publish captain and vice-captain picks from the squads that look set.

Three fixtures, three venues, two formats. Deadline reminders are listed alongside each match in the Vision11 app; the desk adds an editorial verdict for each.

Captain picks reward the batter who holds the crease through the powerplay. The desk's standing rule is: pick the player the opposition most fears, not the one most fans already own.
T20, ODI and Test each reward different squads. The desk keeps three format ledgers so captain picks stay grounded in the overs that actually matter.
| Format | Overs | Powerplay | Death overs | Common captain archetype | Multiplier signal |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| T20 | 20 | First 6 — high aggression | Last 4 — wicket premium | Top-order anchor | Balls faced + boundaries |
| ODI | 50 | First 10 — measured | Last 10 — acceleration | Middle-order finisher | Run rate × balls faced |
| Test | Unlimited | New ball — wicket hunt | Sessions — patience | Wicket-taker / anchor | Wickets × economy |
The desk treats format as the first filter. T20 captain picks reward powerplay aggression; ODI captain picks reward a middle order that can rebuild an innings; Test captain picks reward bowlers who take wickets in clusters. The Vision11 points system is built around these signals.
League phase, playoff windows and the final — each segment has a different captain philosophy. The IPL Season desk keeps a calendar and a phase note for every fixture.
The IPL Season desk divides the tournament into three phases: the league (where squad rotation matters), the playoff window (where role-specialists shine), and the final (where the format flattens — the best player wins).
Phase notes refresh each matchweek. The desk treats the calendar as the first read, then layers squad news, venue notes and head-to-head tables on top.
Open the IPL 2026 deskThe desk only republishes scores from a published source. Latency disclaimer: live tickers typically refresh every 30–60 seconds; treat the in-app score as the canonical figure for contest decisions.
The Vision11 desk is a reading desk for fantasy cricket, not a replacement for a live score app. The point of the ticker is to anchor reading — once you see a session break, you know the captain pick will be tested. The score is sourced; the analysis is editorial.
Open the Live Scores deskThe desk publishes a verification ledger for every active bonus offer on the Vision11 app. Source, status and a window — no fabricated expiry dates, no paid code listings.

Open the Winners deskPaid fantasy sports contests are treated as games of skill in most Indian states. A small number of states restrict paid entry; the Vision11 app enforces the in-app eligibility check before any contest join.
Status reflects the desk's reading of the most recent Public Gambling Act amendments and state gaming notices. The Vision11 app performs the canonical eligibility check at join time. Players must be 18 or older.
The desk reads the squad lists first, then answers the five questions that decide 80% of a fantasy captain pick.
The opening pair sets the powerplay tone. The number-three batter absorbs the first wicket. Captain picks from this pair or this number three have the highest expected ceiling.
If the side is short on spin options on a turning surface, the captain pick should be the spinner who holds the middle overs — not the all-rounder.
Chepauk rewards turn and patience. Wankhede rewards powerplay intent. Eden Gardens rewards swing. Captain picks from the squad that matches the venue.
A differential pick is a player owned by less than 10% of entries. It is worth the captain slot when the desk has read three independent signals supporting the call.
Bounce-back picks win matches but lose leaderboards. The desk only backs a bounce-back when the venue and matchup strongly support it.
The desk follows a four-step read for every fixture: squad, surface, selection, signoff. The published captain pick is the one that survives all four.
Read the playing XI from the toss first. Captain picks that survive the squad pass earn the right to a second look.
Read the pitch report and dew factor. Pace-share and spin-share tables decide which bowling archetype is the captain pick.
Read the selection % among desk readers. Differentials must clear three independent signals before they earn the captain slot.
The desk signs off only when the captain pick is the one a reader could defend in a single paragraph. Editorial clarity is the final gate.
The desk does not publish guaranteed outcomes. Fantasy cricket is a game of skill; every captain pick is an editorial judgement.
The five questions the desk gets every week, answered in five short paragraphs.
