IPL Fantasy League On Dream11: The 2025 edition of the TATA IPL is in full swing — and so is the fantasy cricket fever! If you're looking to test your cricketing smarts and win exciting rewards, Dream11’s official IPL fantasy league is the place to be. But before you dive in, make sure you’re armed with the best strategies to build a winning squad. Here's your ultimate fantasy cricket playbook — featuring top tricks, key rules, and insider insights to get ahead in the game.
Power Booster Alert: Use These Early!
Dream11 is rolling out an exclusive “Power Batter” booster — but there’s a catch. You can only use it during the first three days of the tournament (first four matches). This booster doubles the points earned by a batter in your squad. Other power-packed boosters like Power Bowler, Power All-Rounder, Power Uncapped Player, Power Wicket-Keeper, and Power Overseas Player will unlock as the season progresses — each capable of doubling your player’s performance points for a match. Use them wisely to gain an edge.
Tips To Build A Dream Team
Crafting a fantasy team isn’t just about picking the biggest names. Smart selection wins games. Here’s what fantasy veterans swear by:
- Start with a strong core: Pick players in form and those likely to play every match. Your Captain (2x points) and Vice-Captain (1.5x points) should be consistent performers.
- Back the locals: Indian players tend to have more match time, giving them greater chances to rack up fantasy points. Don’t just chase star power — choose performers.
- Use overseas slots wisely: You can pick four foreign players. Choose those who are in red-hot form, not just big-ticket names. An out-of-form overseas player could cost you crucial points.
- Bet on uncapped underdogs: Every team must have at least one uncapped player — and they come cheaper. Often underrated, these emerging talents can deliver big and be the surprise package in your lineup.
Game Rules, Points & Team Composition
Your Dream11 fantasy team must follow a strict format. You need a mix of Wicket Keepers (1-8), Batsmen (1-8), All-Rounders (1-8), and Bowlers (1-8), with a total of 11 players. Use your 100-credit budget wisely while picking.
Fantasy points are awarded for almost every in-game action — from a batter’s boundary (1 point) or six (2 points) to a bowler’s wicket (25 points). There are also bonus points for centuries, four/five-wicket hauls, economy rate, and even penalties for ducks or poor strike rates. Substitute players only earn points if they are official concussion or COVID-19 replacements.
