1. 🎯 Start with the Right Mindset
Most players join Dream11 with the hope of becoming overnight millionaires. But the truth is – consistency is the secret.
Grand Leagues (GL) are where the big money lies (₹1 lakh+).
These leagues require risk, but calculated risk.
Don’t expect to win every day. Instead, focus on improving your decision-making match after match.
💡 Think of Dream11 as investing, not gambling. You’re investing your cricket knowledge into combinations that can pay massive rewards.
2. 🏟️ Understand Match Archetypes
Every cricket match has a pattern (archetype). Recognizing it is step one:
Batting Paradise (Flat pitch, 200+ scores, batters dominate)
Bowling Track (Green top, spinners or pacers dominate)
Balanced Pitch (Both bat and ball in play, all-rounders shine)
Low-Scoring Ground (Scores of 120-150, bowlers get more points)
👉 Before you select players, identify the match archetype from venue stats, average scores, and pitch reports.
For example, in Sharjah T10, batting dominates. In Chennai (Chepauk), spinners rule.
If you get this wrong, your entire team balance collapses.
3. 🔢 Master the Fantasy Points System
You don’t win money by watching cricket. You win by understanding how Dream11 gives points:
Runs (1 point each)
Boundary bonus (1 point)
Six bonus (2 points)
Strike rate impact (in T20s)
Wickets (25 points each)
Maiden over (8 points)
Catches/Stumpings (8 points each)
💡 Bowlers and all-rounders are often underrated but bring higher point ceilings than pure batters.
That’s why Dream Teams often have 3-4 bowlers and 2-3 all-rounders.
4. 📝 Player Role & Batting Order
The single most important factor in T20 fantasy cricket is:
👉 Batting order = Opportunity = Points
Openers and No. 3s face maximum balls.
Death bowlers (16th–20th over) have the highest wicket potential.
Middle-order batters often disappoint unless it’s a collapse match.
💡 Example: A No. 6 batter like Dinesh Karthik may score only 10 runs in most games. But a death bowler like Harshal Patel can easily take 2 wickets in 12 balls.
So, prioritize roles.

5. 🔑 Invest Smartly in Small vs Grand Leagues
If you want to win ₹1 lakh, you need to balance safe and risky plays.
Small Leagues (3-11 members): Play safe. Pick in-form players and follow majority choices.
Grand Leagues (1 lakh+ entries): Take calculated risks with 2-3 differential players (low ownership picks who can shine).
💡 Rule: Play 80% of your budget in safe contests, 20% in high-risk GLs.
This way, you don’t lose everything in one bad match.
6. ⚡ Captain & Vice-Captain = 70% of Winning
Most Dream11 winners say the same thing:
👉 “I won because my C/VC clicked.”
Captain (2x points)
Vice-Captain (1.5x points)
How to choose?
In batting pitches: Pick top-order batters.
In bowling pitches: Pick death bowlers or all-rounders.
In balanced matches: Pick all-rounders (they give 2 chances – bat + ball).
💡 Example: In IPL, Andre Russell or Hardik Pandya become perfect C/VC picks in balanced conditions.
7. 📊 Use Data – Not Just Gut Feeling
Top winners don’t pick players based only on form. They use data patterns:
Last 5 match fantasy points
Venue performance history
H2H (Head-to-Head stats vs opposition)
Role at powerplay/death overs
Recent batting order shifts
💡 Example: A player like Rashid Khan may not always take wickets, but at Chennai (spin-friendly), his wicket probability doubles.
8. 🎲 Differentials – Your Winning Lottery Ticket
If 10 lakh people are playing, why would your team be unique?
👉 Because you pick 1-2 differentials.
A bowler with only 20% ownership who takes 3 wickets
A No. 4 batter promoted to open
A part-time bowler who gets 2 wickets
💡 These picks separate you from the 9,99,999 other players.
9. 💵 Bankroll & Risk Management
The biggest mistake people make: putting all money in one contest.
Instead:
Divide your entry fees into 10-12 contests per day.
Always enter at least 1 GL with your best team.
Use backup teams with small variations (change C/VC or 1-2 players).
This increases your probability of hitting the ₹1 lakh jackpot.
10. 🧠 Psychology of a Winner
To win ₹1 lakh, you need mental toughness.
Don’t chase losses – stay disciplined.
Don’t copy blindly from YouTube/Telegram. Use logic.
Learn from every match – track projected vs actual performance.
💡 Winners think long-term. They don’t panic after losing 5 matches because they know one perfect hit can cover all losses + huge profit.
✅ Final Pro Tips
Focus on roles, not names – a weak team’s opener is often better than a star sitting at No. 5.
Always study venue data – average scores, who dominates (bat/bowl).
Join contests early – late joiners often get stuck with high competition.
Follow toss updates – batting order changes happen last minute.
Build multiple teams (3-5 variations) for big contests.
