What the tournaments hub covers
The desk covers the IPL, the T20 World Cup, the ODI World Cup, the Champions Trophy, the WPL, the ICC Test Championship, the Asia Cup and the major bilateral series involving India. The hub publishes the coverage calendar, the tournament-specific scoring rules and the desk's tournament preview.
How the desk covers a tournament
The desk publishes a tournament preview one week before the tournament starts. The preview covers the format, the squads, the venue ledger, the schedule and the desk's early predictions. The desk then publishes matchday primers for every India match and a weekly recap every Monday during the tournament.
Why tournament coverage matters for fantasy
Tournament-specific scoring rules matter. The IPL has its own points table; the T20 World Cup may have a slightly different table; the ODI World Cup has different rules again. The desk publishes the points table for every tournament so readers can build their squad with the correct rules in mind.
Three recent tournaments
Tournament one: IPL 2026. Ten franchises, 74 matches, 8 venues. The desk publishes a squad primer for every match. Tournament two: T20 World Cup 2026. Twelve teams, 55 matches, hosted in India and Sri Lanka. The desk publishes matchday primers for every India match and the knockouts. Tournament three: ODI World Cup 2027 (preview). Eight teams, 48 matches, hosted in South Africa. The desk publishes a preview one month before the tournament.
Tournament reading checklist
- Read the tournament preview one week before the tournament.
- Check the tournament-specific points table.
- Read the venue ledger for every match.
- Follow the desk's matchday primers for India matches.
- Read the weekly recap every Monday during the tournament.
Common tournament mistakes
The desk's most common tournament mistakes: applying IPL points rules to a T20 World Cup match (the rules can differ), ignoring the impact player rule (only IPL uses this rule), trusting social media rumours about squad selection (the desk only trusts the official announcement). The desk recommends always reading the tournament-specific points table.
