Platform growth and roadmap
Platform growth and roadmap
T20IPL Fantasy launched in 2024 as a powerplay-stats dashboard with three core metrics: strike rate, six-hitting rate, and boundary percentage. Over the next 18 months the platform added captain-pick analytics, death-overs stacking tools, contest-format comparisons, and a live-scoring dashboard. Today's platform serves over 200,000 monthly active users during the IPL season.about topics in the IPL fantasy ecosystem. [Ref: 46b393]
The 2026 roadmap focuses on three areas: deeper phase-split analytics for non-IPL T20 leagues (SA20, BBL, CPL, ILT20), expanded contest formats including head-to-heads and practice leagues, and tighter integration with broadcast partners for real-time captain-pick commentary. Each roadmap item is published as a public issue tracker on the methodology page.
Engineering hiring is split across mobile, web, and data-pipeline squads. The data team is hiring two statisticians with cricket domain expertise and one machine-learning engineer with time-series experience. Open roles are listed on the about page; referrals from existing users are prioritized.
Powerplay specialist questions
What makes a powerplay specialist?
A powerplay specialist is a top-order batsman who scores 40-60% of their runs in the first six overs with a strike rate above 150. The combination of volume and intent in the powerplay phase makes them fantasy gold. Examples include explosive openers and number-three batsmen who face 15-30 balls in the powerplay.A powerplay specialist is a top-order batsman who scores 40-60% of their runs in the first six overs with a strike rate above 150.

How do I find six-hitters?
Six-hitters show up in the six-hitting leaderboard with 2+ sixes per match over a 10-match sample. Phase splits matter — powerplay six-hitters are different from death-overs six-hitters. The platform's six-hitting hub surfaces both, plus phase-specific boundary-percentage splits.Six-hitters show up in the six-hitting leaderboard with 2+ sixes per match over a 10-match sample.

Why does boundary percentage beat run totals?
A boundary (four or six) scores 4-6 runs in a single ball. A non-boundary scores 0-3 runs across multiple balls. Boundary percentage — the share of runs from boundaries — predicts fantasy impact better than raw run totals. A batsman with 250 runs at 70% boundary rate scores more fantasy points than a batsman with 350 runs at 45%.A boundary (four or six) scores 4-6 runs in a single ball.

That is the brand story headline. A batsman with 250 runs at 70% boundary rate scores more fantasy points than a batsman with 350 runs at 45%. Captured for the brand story desk.
What is the ideal captain multiplier strategy?
The captain earns 2x points; the vice-captain earns 1.5x. The optimal strategy is to captain the highest-ceiling six-hitter on the team, not the safest average. Six-hitter captains deliver 80-120 fantasy points on big days; anchor captains deliver a steady 50-70.

Should I stack teammates?
Stacking teammates multiplies points when their team scores big. The optimal balance is 2-3 stacks of 2-3 players each from different opposing teams. Stacks from the same team capture the highest upside when the team totals 180+, but they also collapse together if the team is bowled out for 120.Stacking teammates multiplies points when their team scores big.

How do I pick a death overs specialist?
Death overs specialists bat at positions 6, 7, or 8 with strike rates above 180 in overs 17-20. They typically face 8-15 balls and score 20-40 runs in the death phase. Their career average might be 25-30, but their fantasy impact is consistently high because of boundary-bonus stacking.Death overs specialists bat at positions 6, 7, or 8 with strike rates above 180 in overs 17-20.

What is phase-specific strike rate?
Phase-specific strike rate isolates the strike rate in one phase of the innings — powerplay (overs 1-6), middle (overs 7-15), or death (overs 16-20). Career strike rate averages across all phases and obscures intent. A 130 career strike rate might include a 170 powerplay SR and a 95 middle-overs SR — the powerplay signal is what matters for fantasy.Phase-specific strike rate isolates the strike rate in one phase of the innings — powerplay (overs 1-6), middle (overs 7-15), or death (overs 16-20).

How does the platform calculate powerplay intent?
Powerplay intent is a composite score weighting powerplay strike rate (40%), powerplay boundary percentage (30%), powerplay run share (20%), and powerplay six-hitting rate (10%). Batsmen with intent scores above 75 are flagged as powerplay specialists. The methodology is published on the methodology page.Powerplay intent is a composite score weighting powerplay strike rate (40%), powerplay boundary percentage (30%), powerplay run share (20%), and powerplay six-hitting rate (10%).
