About the desk

Sixer owner · who runs the editorial desk

The desk reads who runs the Sixer editorial desk, the publishing cadence, the responsible-play boundary and the desk's editorial standards for fantasy cricket writing.

Who runs the desk

Sixer is published by an independent editorial desk. The desk is staffed by a small team of writers and editors who cover Indian fantasy cricket year-round. The desk is not owned by, affiliated with or funded by any fantasy cricket operator; the only commercial relationship is a referral fee when a reader signs up to the operator's app via the desk's link.

The desk publishes under the Sixer brand name. The brand is owned by a small editorial company that does not publish its ownership structure publicly because it is a private media company. The desk's editorial decisions are independent of any operator.

Editorial team

The desk is staffed by three full-time editors and a rotating bench of freelance writers who cover the IPL, T20 internationals, the WPL, ODIs and Test cricket. All writers are Indian residents with at least five years of cricket writing experience.

The desk does not publish bylined writer names on every article. The desk stands behind every article collectively; if you spot an error, contact the desk via the contact page and the desk will issue a correction in the next matchday window.

Publishing cadence

The desk publishes:

  • A matchday squad primer for every IPL, T20 international, ODI and Test match involving India.
  • A captain pick ledger for every IPL match.
  • A points dossier update within 24 hours of any scoring amendment.
  • A state eligibility notice board update within 24 hours of any state advisory.
  • A weekly longform guide every Sunday at 6 am IST.

Editorial standards

The desk's editorial standards are:

  1. Every published fact must be verifiable from a primary source (operator's published rules, BCCI / ICC notifications, state government gazettes).
  2. Every published prediction must be qualified as a desk read, not as a guarantee.
  3. Every published score or table must be cross-checked against two independent sources.
  4. Every published article must include a state eligibility note if it touches a paid contest.
  5. Every published article must include a responsible play boundary if it touches a paid contest.

Corrections policy

If you spot an error in a published article, contact the desk via the contact page. The desk acknowledges corrections within 24 hours and publishes the correction at the top of the next matchday primer. Material errors (wrong scoring rule, wrong state rule) are corrected with an inline correction note on the original article.

Advertising disclosure

The desk does not display third-party ads. The desk's only commercial relationship is a referral fee when a reader signs up to the operator's app via the desk's link. The desk does not promote any specific fantasy cricket operator over another.
