🏏 What is the IPL 2025 Fantasy Points System?
Every time a player does something on the field — like hitting a boundary, taking a wicket, or even bowling a dot ball — they earn (or sometimes lose) fantasy points.
These points decide your rank in the leaderboard. The more points your selected players earn, the higher your chance of winning big.
🎯 Batting Points: Runs Are Just the Start
You may think picking a batter who scores 40 runs is enough. But on Vision11, it's more than just the runs.
- ✅ 1 point per run
- ✅ 1 point per four
- ✅ 2 points per six
- ✅ Extra points for 30s, 50s, 100s
- ⚠️ Negative points for low strike rates (under 60)
📌 Tip: Choose top-order batsmen who are likely to play more balls and have high strike rates.
🎯 Bowling Points: Wickets are Gold
Bowling points are often underrated by beginners. But guess what? They’re huge!
- ✅ 25 points per wicket
- ✅ 8 points per dot ball
- ✅ Bonus for 3-wicket or 5-wicket hauls
- ✅ Economy rate bonuses for 2+ overs
📌 Tip: Pick bowlers who bowl in the powerplay or death overs — more chances for wickets and dot balls.
🧤 Fielding Points: Every Catch Counts
Don’t overlook fielders and wicketkeepers. They can earn you crucial points, especially in close contests.
- ✅ 8 points for a catch
- ✅ 12 points for a run-out or stumping
- ✅ Keepers often get bonus points if they bat and also take dismissals
📌 Tip: Keepers like KL Rahul, Samson, or de Kock are great picks — they bat in the top order and take catches behind the stumps.
🧠 Captain & Vice-Captain: Multiplier Magic
This is the most powerful part of your team. Vision11 gives:
- 👑 Captain = 2x points
- 👑 Vice-Captain = 1.5x points
📌 Tip: Always choose reliable all-rounders or consistent top-order batsmen as your captain/vice-captain.
One good game from your captain can boost your total by 100+ points!
💡 How to Maximize Your Winnings Using the Points System
Now that you understand how points work, here’s how to use that info to win more matches:
- Track Player Form – A batter in form is more likely to get bonuses for 50s or strike rate.
- Use Matchups – If a bowler usually troubles a certain batter, use that to your advantage.
- Watch the Toss – If a team is bowling first, add bowlers who’ll bowl at the death.
- Balance Your Team – Don't just pick all-rounders or all batsmen. Get at least 2 good bowlers and 1 top wicketkeeper.
- Update Before Deadline – Once the lineups are out, make last-minute changes if needed.
👨🏫 Rookie to Pro: Let’s Put it All Together
Imagine you’re setting a team for a CSK vs MI match.
✅ Opening batsman in form? Make him vice-captain.
✅ Wicketkeeper like Dhoni? Good for fielding points.
✅ Death bowler like Bumrah? Big point potential.
✅ All-rounder like Hardik? Great captain choice.
