IPL Fantasy League is one of the most popular fantasy games available. Users can make their own virtual teams that will score points based on the real-life performances of players in their team. A team can be made from many different permutations and combinations of wicket-keepers, batsmen, bowlers, and all-rounders. Although the game allows flexibility, there are a set of rules that users need to abide by.
Wicket Keeper: The IPL Fantasy League allows you to select up to four wicket keepers. It is always sensible to choose one wicket-keeper which is mandatory.
Batsman: Users can select a minimum of three batsmen and a maximum of six batsmen. With a limited amount of overs, it’s always best to choose upper-order batsmen.
Bowlers: Similar to batsmen, users can select 3-6 bowlers. Strike Rate and economy rate are important when selecting the best bowlers for your fantasy team.
All-Rounders: 1-4 all-rounders can be selected for a team. They are a crucial part of any fantasy league team as they score points for their performances with the bat as well as the ball.
Given below are the most popular combinations used in the game.
Player type | Team 1 | Team 2 | Team 3 | Team 4 | Team 5 | Team 6 | Team 7 |
WK | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
Bat | 5 | 5 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 3 | 3 |

Bowl | 3 | 4 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 5 | 4 |
