Match selection to lock: credits, roles, team rules and the timeline that keeps you ahead of casual entries.
The build
| Slot | Count | What to look for |
|---|---|---|
| WK (Keeper) | 1–4 | Catches + stumpings + a real batting position, not a bench keeper. |
| BAT (Batters) | 3–6 | Top-three balls faced. Current form beats career reputation. |
| AR (All-rounders) | 1–4 | Two income streams per card. Most winning XIs carry 2–3. |
| BOWL (Bowlers) | 3–6 | Guaranteed overs in wicket-taking phases — powerplay or death. |
All eleven must fit the credit cap. Star-heavy teams force weak enablers — balance wins more rooms than brand names.
The timeline
Fixture, venue history, probable XIs. Build a draft, don't finalise.
Playing XIs confirm now. Benched names out immediately; batting-order changes reread.
C/VC on stability, then the room: ₹1 to learn, H2H to grind, small league to profit. See contest guide.
Track whether the reads were right, separate from the result. That's the skill loop.
Tonight's ₹1 rooms are the cheapest practice in fantasy.
