What the live hub covers
The desk reads every live India match across formats. The live hub publishes the live scorecard, the fantasy points feed (refreshed roughly every 30 seconds during play), the leaderboard tracking and the desk's in-play editorial on the captain pick and the differential of the match.
How the desk follows a live match
The desk follows the live match by reading the operator's live points feed, the official broadcast commentary and the social handles of the BCCI and the franchises. The desk publishes an in-play editorial at three milestones: the toss, the powerplay and the death overs. The desk does not publish in-play fantasy advice (you cannot change your team once the contest locks).
Why the live hub matters for fantasy
The live hub is a reading layer for matches you have already locked a team for. The desk publishes the in-play editorial so readers can compare their squad's points against the desk's captain pick and the differential of the match. The desk does not promise a winning formula; the desk promises a reading layer.

Common live mistakes
The desk's most common live mistakes: refreshing the points feed too often (the feed refreshes every 30 seconds; refresh anxiety does not help), trusting social media 'whisper' updates (the operator's feed is the source of truth), trying to change the team mid-match (the app will not let you edit). The desk recommends patience and reading the milestones.
