Data-feed licensing and editorial independence
Data-feed licensing and editorial independence
T20IPL Fantasy licenses ball-by-ball data from authorized cricket-data providers. The licensing agreements permit statistical analysis, leaderboard publication, and editorial commentary. They do not extend to commercial resale of the raw data feed. Users accessing public dashboards see the same numbers our analysts use internally — no proprietary adjustments, no hidden filters.disclosure topics in the IPL fantasy ecosystem. [Ref: a484c4]
Editorial independence is non-negotiable. Captain picks, six-hitting rankings, and boundary-percentage analyses are produced by the analytics team without input from sponsor partners, IPL franchise stakeholders, or contest-format partners. Where a partner platform appears in a leaderboard comparison, the comparison methodology is published separately on the methodology page.
Financial disclosures — company registration, GST status, TDS filings, director identities — are public through the Ministry of Corporate Affairs portal. We refresh the disclosure page annually and on any material change to ownership, partnership, or regulatory standing.
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.disclosure desk reads this as: 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 That is the disclosure headline.

Examples include explosive openers and number-three batsmen who face 15-30 balls in the powerplay. Stashed in the disclosure ledger.
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.disclosure desk reads this as: six-hitters show up in the six-hitting leaderboard with 2+ sixes per match over a 10-match sample.

The platform's six-hitting hub surfaces both, plus phase-specific boundary-percentage splits. Stashed in the disclosure ledger.
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%.disclosure desk reads this as: a boundary (four or six) scores 4-6 runs in a single ball.

That fits the disclosure ledger. A batsman with 250 runs at 70% boundary rate scores more fantasy points than a batsman with 350 runs at 45%. Kept in the disclosure working file.
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. The ceiling matters in large-field contests.disclosure desk reads this as: the captain earns 2x points; the vice-captain earns 1.5x.

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.disclosure desk reads this as: 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.disclosure desk reads this as: death overs specialists bat at positions 6, 7, or 8 with strike rates above 180 in overs 17-20.

Their career average might be 25-30, but their fantasy impact is consistently high because of boundary-bonus stacking. Stashed in the disclosure ledger.
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.disclosure desk reads this as: 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) That is the disclosure headline.

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.disclosure desk reads this as: 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%) That is the disclosure headline.
