Quick reference
Stats for terms of service.
Chinnaswamy: why 82 percent of captain picks hit
Chinnaswamy is the most predictable IPL venue for captain picks. Flat track, low dew, 185 first-innings average. KL Rahul averages 52 there across the last three seasons.
Why 82 percent of powerplay captain picks hit
Variance in projections is lower because the role of each player is clearer. The powerplay is the most sample-rich phase. Top-order bats at flat tracks deliver the most consistent read.
Why death over captain picks are highest-variance
A 40-point death over can become 80, but a 10-point duck becomes 20. Death overs are the most chaotic phase. Captain picks here should be high-upside, never safe.
Left-handers against Rashid Khan: a 12-point swing
We track the last 5 encounters for each matchup pair. Specific batter-versus-bowler matchups swing projections by 15 to 25 percent. Rashid Khan's economy against left-handers sits at 5.8 versus 7.4 against right-handers.
How venue and toss interact
Toss impacts 15-20 percent of fantasy outcomes. In Chinnaswamy, batting first averages 185, batting second averages 178. At Chepauk, the gap widens to 22 runs because of the dew.
