A good fantasy eleven is not eleven famous names. It is a balance of roles and match context. Come11 Sport team lets you pick from real squad lists and shape a lineup around who is likely to bat, who will bowl, and who can contribute in more than one way.
Fantasy cricket rewards attention. A batter in form, a death-overs bowler, a pitch that helps spin, or a last-minute team news update can change the value of a player. Come11 Sport keeps those decisions close to the contest flow so you can act before the first ball.
This beginner’s guide walks you through the exact process — from opening the lobby to locking your captain.
The Basic Come11 Sport team Structure
A fantasy cricket team is built from four roles:
- Batters — score for runs, strike rate, milestones
- Bowlers — score for wickets, economy, maidens
- All-rounders — can score from more than one column (the “glue” of a balanced XI)
- Wicketkeeper — scores for catches, stumpings, and batting
A balanced XI might look like: 4–5 batters, 3–4 bowlers, 2–3 all-rounders, and 1 wicketkeeper. Adjust based on pitch and match conditions.
Step 1: Select the Match
Open the lobby and choose the fixture you actually want to follow. Start with games you will watch or at least check at innings break. Fantasy is easier when you understand the venue and the likely bowling attack.
Don’t try to play every match on the schedule. Focus on matches you can follow closely — that’s where your skill advantage grows.
Step 2: Read the Stats That Matter
Look at recent scores, bowling figures, and role. A player who bats in the top order has a different ceiling from a lower-order hitter. A spinner on a slow surface is not the same pick as a hit-the-deck seamer on a lively pitch.
Use the data as a filter, not a promise. Stats tell you what’s likely, not what’s guaranteed.
Step 3: Balance Your Roles
Don’t fill your team with only one type of player. If the match has a batting collapse, an all-batter team collapses with it. If it’s a bowling-friendly pitch, an all-bowler team misses batting points.
All-rounders are especially valuable because they score from multiple columns. That’s why they’re often used as the glue in a balanced XI.
Step 4: Set Captain and Vice-Captain
Captain and vice-captain remain the highest-leverage clicks. Captain points are typically multiplied 2x, vice-captain 1.5x. These two choices deserve more time than the last bench slot.
The app keeps those assignments inside the same team screen so you don’t lose the flow.
Step 5: Lock Your Team and Join a Contest
Once your XI is ready, open the contest list and join the room that fits your entry and style — small leagues, head-to-head, or larger prize pools during IPL.
You pick the contest type after your team is ready, not before you even know your XI.
Sample XI With Reasoning (IPL Example)
Role | Player Type | Why |
Captain | Top-order batter in form | Highest ceiling on flat pitch |
Vice-Captain | Wicket-taking bowler | Death-overs specialist |
Batters | 3–4 middle-order | Consistent run scorers |
All-rounders | 2 | Dual scoring potential |
Bowlers | 3 | Mix of pace and spin |
WK | 1 | Batting + fielding points |
Common Beginner Mistakes to Avoid
- Copying teams from social media
- Not checking the playing XI after toss
- Emotional picks based on favourite players
- Ignoring pitch conditions
- Cloning the same XI across multiple teams

Typically 11, chosen from the real match squad.

You’ll receive no points from that player. Always check the playing XI after toss.
