Last year we added -- Guess the Player who will hit most number of 6s.

That was really fun, as Suyash [BeingBlunt] said, it was more fun, at times the 10th or 11th batsman used to hit more sixes than the top order batsman!

Well in the drop down you will see the whole Squad whether they were in the Playing XI or not.

There will be an ambiguity, whom the captain choose from the mentioned 5 impact players, we don't have an idea prior to that moment. So I think , it'll be difficult to predict the impact player in a particular match!!

If I am wrong please correct me Raji. 🤗

I understand it would be fun to have more categories. Since it's our first attempt let's start with small set of questions and which are easy.


May be in middle of the season we will bring some more updates to make the contest more fun.

Like Madhu said, "who will hit most number of 6s" was a huge success in the earlier games, so I guess my vote goes to option A.

Cheers.

You are right Madhu. We can't pin point the impact player until the captain decides to replace a player at a given point of the match.

To make matters simple, if we have Impact Player (CSK), Impact Player (GT), Impact Player (LSG) etc,. also in the drop down list, who are equivalent to any one of those 5 substitutes in any game for that particular team. If an impact player wins and if we pick an Impact player for that match, we will get the points.

Cheers..

It is a very good point. To some extent, it is same as chosen one failing to do what we expected him to do.

I am just thinking out loud here.

If a top order batsman fails to make runs and gets out, the team can replace him with an all rounder, who will bat in that innings and also can contribute during bowling.

If a specialist bowler fails to take wickets, the team can replace him with an all rounder and will use him to bowl and bat as they need.

Of course, there is no guarantee that the impact player will make an impact.😊

Looking at this scenario, I have a suggestion.

Vijay, is it possible to add "Impact Player (Team X)" and "Impact Player (Team Y)", instead of a name, in the drop down list of players in Best bowling, Best batting and Man of the match categories? Members will get to pick players out of 24 instead of original 22.

Cheers..

Barring the likes of Stokes, Pandya.. now teams don't need to keep an alrounder in the playing 11

Pick 7 specialist batters and 4 bowlers if you're batting first, and while bowling, replace one batter (even he scores big) with the specialist bowler from the impact player list

so basically with this rule, now we have a team of 12 players, instead of 11

option A, player who hits most sixes. At times we had 7/8 winners all hitting 1 six. Or at times Avesh Khan, Umesh Yadav, Mohd Shami (all bowlers) were winners of this.
