How to Play

Creating your team
  • Every cricket team you build on Dream11 must have 11 players
  • A maximum of 10 players can be selected from any one of the teams
Player Type Min Max
Wicket Keeper - WK 1 8
Batter - BAT 1 8
All Rounder - AR 1 8
Bowler - BWL 1 8

Captain and Vice-Captain Points

Once you have selected your 11 players, you will have to assign a captain and vice-captain for your team.
The captain will give you 2x points scored by them in the actual match.
The vice-captain will give you 1.5x points scored by them in the actual match.
The Captained By (% C By) and Vice-Captained By (% VC By) stats help you understand how other players have chosen their teams.
Choose a popular pick as captain, or find a differential to score big against your competition.

Backups

Add up to 4 Backups to your team and assign a priority order to them. Backups will replace unannounced and substitute players from your team incase your team has players not in the starting XI. Backups are available only in select cricket matches and are optional to add.
