Tips for going 16-0
- 🏏All-rounders are the most valuable picks — a player who contributes both bat and ball lifts both your power bars simultaneously.
- 🏏Balance overseas slots across batting and bowling. Blowing all 4 on batsmen leaves your bowling thin.
- 🏏Your captain multiplier is meaningful. Pick a player with strong all-round stats, not just the flashiest name.
- 🏏In IQ mode, prioritize players who had consistently strong T20 seasons across multiple years — you're likely to see them in multiple slots.
- 🏏In Classic mode, pay attention to the balance bar, not just raw batting or bowling power. A lopsided XI rarely goes 16-0.
Frequently asked questions
How many players do I draft?+
You draft exactly 11 players across 11 rounds. Each round locks a specific role and season — every position must come from a different year.
How many overseas players can I pick?+
You can pick a maximum of 4 overseas players in your XI. The game enforces this limit automatically during drafting.
Can the same player appear twice?+
Yes — the same player can appear in different seasons. For example, you could pick a batsman's 2016 season and the same player's 2019 season if different slots allow it.
What does the engine use to simulate results?+
The simulation engine uses each player's real ball-by-ball stats for that specific season. Batting power, bowling power, and overall balance all affect your win probability. Both batting and bowling need to fire together for a 16-0 run.
What is the re-roll / skip for?+
Each game gives you 2 re-rolls. Use them to re-draw the season for the current slot if the assigned year doesn't suit your strategy. Use them wisely — they don't refresh between rounds.
