An editor-first fantasy cricket desk, run for indibet readers.

Fantasy Cricket Picks is an independent guide to fantasy cricket for Indian readers. We publish match previews, captaincy reasoning, salary-cap math, and verified-brand context. We are not an operator. We do not run contests or hold deposits.

Editorial pipeline

Five stages, every fixture, no shortcuts.

The same five-stage editorial pipeline runs before every fixture we cover: surface read, role lock, credit balance, captain pick, and pre-deadline audit.

Stage 1

Surface read

Pitch, weather, dew forecast. The surface decides which role wins on the day.

Stage 2

Role lock

Build the wicketkeeper, batter, all-rounder, bowler slots before picking players.

Stage 3

Credit balance

Spend 100 credits across 11 picks with the role balance already locked.

Stage 4

Captain pick

Pick the captain from ceiling, not from ownership. The captain is the highest-ceiling pick on the surface.

Stage 5

Pre-deadline audit

Twelve boxes, ticked in order, before the XI locks five minutes before the deadline.

Editorial independence

No operator affiliation

We do not run contests, take deposits, or receive payment from operators. Where we cannot verify a brand claim, we say so.

Read our editorial pipeline in full.

Five stages, every fixture, every tournament cycle we cover.
