:::tldr

  • RCB vs KKR — match completed
  • Virat Kohli (RCB) scored 109 off 60
  • DHRUV's captain pool returned 137 pts (×2 multiplier)
  • Season-to-date DHRUV: 13/38 match-winner calls correct

:::

Twenty-two players, one scorebook. The duel that mattered: Kohli versus the opposition attack. The rest of the night was support cast.

How one knock decided it

Kohli's 109 accounted for 57% of RCB's total. When a single innings carries that much of a team's output, the match doesn't get reframed in the death overs — it's already been written.

The names that mattered

Virat Kohli (RCB) top-scored with 109 off 60 balls. The pick of the bowlers: Kartik Tyagi with 3 wkts.

Things you won't read elsewhere

  • DHRUV captained Finn Allen in tonight's top GL squad. They brought home 137 fantasy points — doubled by the captain multiplier.
  • Kartik Tyagi's 0th 3-wicket haul in IPL.

The fantasy line

DHRUV's top fantasy XI was projected for 655 points. Actuals: 760. The night ran 16% hotter than the model expected — the upside surprises came from Virat Kohli.

Where the season sits

Season-to-date, DHRUV's match-winner calls are at 13/38 (34.2%). Early sample, retraining nightly — every receipt stays public, win or lose.

How the model's read evolved

At T-6h DHRUV projected the top squad at 800. Once the toss + lineups landed, the model trimmed that to 760 (-40). The lineup change priced out a chunk of pre-toss optimism.

What we got right

  • DHRUV's top-15 preview list contained 6 of the actual top-11 fantasy scorers.
  • DHRUV's captain pool delivered 137 pts on the night — a captain hit at this level pays the rest of the squad.

What we got wrong

  • Player rank order diverged from the projection (Spearman ρ = 0.02). The night belonged to names the model didn't price up.
