Fantasy cricket is exciting, skill-based, and offers a real chance to win cash—but most users unknowingly repeat the same costly mistakes, match after match. Whether you’re new to fantasy or someone who never quite breaks into the top ranks, avoiding these common blunders can improve your chances dramatically.

In this guide, we’ll explore the top 10 fantasy cricket mistakes and how to sidestep them using features and tips from RadhaExchange.

❌ Mistake #1: Ignoring the Pitch & Weather Report

Why it’s a problem:
The pitch dictates how the game flows—fast bowlers or spinners? High score or low?

Fix it:
Check pitch and weather before team selection. Use RadhaExchange match previews or trusted platforms like Cricbuzz.

❌ Mistake #2: Picking Players Just by Popularity

Why it’s a problem:
Big-name players don’t always deliver. Many are chosen out of habit.

Fix it:
Use form-based selections. Check last 3 matches instead of big-name appeal.

❌ Mistake #3: Not Making Final Changes After Toss

Why it’s a problem:
Players can be dropped last minute, or team strategy may shift.

Fix it:
Always log in after the toss and adjust your team within the edit window on RadhaExchange.

❌ Mistake #4: Overloading One Team

Why it’s a problem:
If your team loses or collapses, most of your players score poorly.

Fix it:
Keep a 6:5 or 7:4 team balance unless the matchup is extremely one-sided.

❌ Mistake #5: Assigning Captain/Vice-Captain Without Strategy

Why it’s a problem:
They give 2x and 1.5x points. A poor pick sinks your rank.

Fix it:
Choose consistent all-rounders or top-order batsmen with a track record on similar pitches.

❌ Mistake #6: Ignoring All-Rounders

Why it’s a problem:
They contribute in both innings—double the point potential.

Fix it:
Always include at least 2–3 all-rounders in your team for balanced scoring.

❌ Mistake #7: Going All-In on One Contest

Why it’s a problem:
It increases risk and adds pressure.

Fix it:
Split your entry fee across 3–5 small contests. Higher chance of winning returns, lower stress.

❌ Mistake #8: Repeating the Same Team Every Match

Why it’s a problem:
Different pitch, form, and opponent = different outcome.

Fix it:
Customize your team based on each match. Use player filters and past performance data available on RadhaExchange.

❌ Mistake #9: Ignoring Impact Player Rule

Why it’s a problem:
Your pick might not bat or bowl at all.

Fix it:
Understand which players are likely to be subbed out based on toss and team history.

❌ Mistake #10: Not Reviewing Contest Type Before Joining

Why it’s a problem:
Some contests have 1000+ players—harder to win.

Fix it:
Choose contests based on your confidence level. Try smaller, 2–50 user leagues to increase ROI.
