  • PBKS vs MI — match completed
  • Tilak Varma (MI) scored 76 off 33
  • DHRUV called PBKS pre-toss — wrong call, receipt logged
  • DHRUV's captain pool returned 153 pts (×2 multiplier)

:::

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

How one knock decided it

Varma's 76 accounted for 37% of MI'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

Tilak Varma (MI) top-scored with 76 off 33 balls. The pick of the bowlers: Shardul Thakur with 4 wkts.

Things you won't read elsewhere

  • DHRUV captained Shreyas Iyer in tonight's top GL squad. They brought home 153 fantasy points — doubled by the captain multiplier.
  • That 76 is Tilak Varma's career-best in IPL.
  • Tilak Varma struck at 230 tonight — 85 points above his career mark of 145.

The fantasy line

DHRUV's top fantasy XI was projected for 634 points. Actuals: 1154. The night ran 82% hotter than the model expected — the upside surprises came from Tilak Varma.

Where the season sits

Season-to-date, DHRUV's match-winner calls are at 14/40 (35.0%). 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 594. Once the toss + lineups landed, the model lifted that to 1154 (+561). The lineup change priced in upside the pre-toss view didn't see.

What we got right

  • DHRUV's top-15 preview list contained 7 of the actual top-11 fantasy scorers.
  • DHRUV's captain pool delivered 153 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 = -0.27). The night belonged to names the model didn't price up.
