Fantasy Guides
How-to content: how to pick a captain, how to read a points matrix, how to size your contest entries, how to handle a bad week. Posts in this stream are evergreen — re-read them in 2027 and they still apply.
Rupee11 Fantasy · Blog
The Rupee11 Fantasy editorial blog.
Two streams: fantasy guides (how to play, captain logic, points systems) and IPL news (auctions, injuries, schedule strategy). Every post is internally audited and source-linked.
Latest Posts
Most recent across both streams.
Categories
Two editorial desks, one archive.
The Rupee11 Fantasy blog is split into two streams. Fantasy Guides covers skill — captain picks, points systems, contest strategy. IPL News covers the league — squad changes, schedule shifts, auction analysis. Both are updated weekly during the IPL season and fortnightly in the off-season.
IPL News
Time-stamped analysis: auction winners, injury updates, schedule shifts, captaincy changes, venue switches, weather news. Posts in this stream are date-stamped and updated if new information arrives.
Editorial standards
How we write.
Rupee11 Fantasy blog posts follow the same editorial standards as our hub pages: every figure is sourced, every prediction publishes its inputs, every commercial relationship is disclosed. We do not run sponsored posts on the blog — the blog is editorial, period.
The minimum post length is 1,200 words. The average post in 2025 was 1,650 words. We post roughly three times per week during the IPL season (March–May) and once per week in the off-season.
Posts are written by named contributors. Each post is reviewed by a second editor before publication and audited by the data desk for factual accuracy. Corrections are posted visibly with a timestamp.
FAQ
Reader questions.
Common questions received by the editorial desk about the blog.
Can I pitch a guest post to Rupee11 Fantasy?
Yes — but we only accept pitches from working cricket analysts, professional statisticians, or players with verifiable competitive records. Pitches from generic content marketers or SEO agencies are not considered. Send pitches to [email protected] with three sample posts and your cricket background.
Do you publish predictions in blog posts?
Yes — every prediction in a Rupee11 Fantasy blog post comes with the model's inputs published in the post itself. We do not publish a prediction without showing how we got there. If we get it wrong, we say so in the next post and update the historical record.
Can I syndicate a Rupee11 Fantasy post on my site?
Up to 200 words, with attribution and a link back to the original. For longer syndications, contact [email protected]. We grant most non-commercial requests within 24 hours.
How often is the blog updated?
Three posts per week during the IPL season (March to late May), two posts per week during other cricket seasons (international T20Is, ODIs, Tests, plus CPL, BBL, SA20, ILT20, PSL), and one post per week during the deep off-season (July–August).

FAQ · Extra
Five more questions.
Beyond the basic and extended FAQs, here are five more questions the Rupee11 Fantasy editorial desk receives regularly, with full answers.
How often is Rupee11 Fantasy content updated?
Hub pages are updated weekly during the IPL season and monthly in the off-season. Blog posts are updated when material changes occur — a new injury, a venue switch, a rule change. The "Last updated" timestamp on every page shows the most recent refresh. The live scoreboard is updated ball-by-ball during matches.
Does Rupee11 Fantasy work on a tablet?
Yes. The companion app supports both phones and tablets on iOS and Android. On iPad, the app uses a split-view layout that shows your fantasy team on the left and the live scoreboard on the right. On Android tablets, a similar split-view layout is available in landscape orientation.
Can I use the Rupee11 Fantasy app on multiple devices?
Yes. Your Rupee11 Fantasy account syncs across all your devices via your mobile number. You can log in on multiple devices, but only one device can be active in a paid contest at a time. The app supports up to 5 simultaneous device logins.
What languages does the Rupee11 Fantasy app support?
The app currently supports English and Hindi, with Tamil, Telugu, Bengali and Marathi in beta. The website (rupee1fantasy.com) is in English only at present. The app's language setting is independent of the phone's system language.
Is Rupee11 Fantasy safe for my data?
Yes. The Rupee11 Fantasy app uses 256-bit encryption for all data in transit and at rest. KYC documents are stored on Indian servers operated by our payment partner (Razorpay / Cashfree). We are PCI-DSS compliant and SOC 2 Type II audited. Full data-handling policy on the privacy page.
Edge cases
Edge cases and how Rupee11 Fantasy handles them.
Fantasy cricket has many edge cases — situations that aren't quite covered by the standard rules. Below are the most common edge cases and how the Rupee11 Fantasy app handles them.
- Super Over — if a match goes to a Super Over, fantasy points from the Super Over count toward the final score. The captain and vice-captain multipliers apply to the Super Over points as well.
- Rain-shortened match (5+ overs each side) — contest results are calculated based on the DLS par score at the point of abandonment. If the DLS par score cannot be calculated, the contest is voided and entries are fully refunded.
- Player ruled out before toss — if a player in your fantasy XI is ruled out before toss and the impact-player rule doesn't apply, your team is auto-adjusted: the highest-credit unused player in your team substitutes in. If no unused player exists, the team is auto-completed using the lowest credit available player.
- Match forfeited — if a match is forfeited before the toss (e.g. a franchise fails to field a team), contest entries are fully refunded. If forfeited after the toss but before play begins, entries are fully refunded.
- Tie on points in a contest — ties are broken by (1) total captain points, then (2) total vice-captain points, then (3) team lock time (earlier wins).
- Substitute fielder (concussion / injury mid-match) — like-for-like substitutes do not earn fantasy points. The original player's points are what count. Concussion substitutes in international cricket are a separate rule and are handled per the ICC playing conditions.
