Cricket Australia leaves the door open for an IPL fixture Down Under.

Cricket Australia has told India Today it does not rule out an IPL match or an India bilateral game being staged in Australia at some stage, while confirming the Ashes will remain inside Australia and England. The Jeeto11 desk reads the statement and what it could change for fantasy XIs.

Desk notes

Three editor’s notes for today’s match day.

Short, sourced reads from the working desk — written in the morning, updated through the day.

Why the vice-captain pick matters more than captain this week

The fixture list is dense and the toss is the only reliable variable. We walk through why a 1.5x vice-captain on a high-floor all-rounder beats a 2x gamble on a top-order batter.

Primary feature

A working desk for daily-play fantasy cricket.

Jeeto11 is built for the person who plays daily fantasy cricket through the working week and wants a serious editorial reference, not a marketing brochure. Every page on this site is written for the reader who already knows what a powerplay is and just wants the picking right.

  • Daily captain calls — two picks per match day, with rationale tied to the fixture.
  • Points system reference — the full table, kept current each season.
  • State-by-state eligibility — what you can play and where, updated as the rules move.
  • Withdrawals & KYC — UPI timelines, bank-transfer SLAs, document checklist.

Methodology

How the desk picks a captain.

Our selection method is plain, repeatable, and openly published. If a reader cannot reconstruct our picks from our own notes, we have failed the brief.

  1. Surface first. Spinner-friendly tracks push the captaincy to a finger-spinner regardless of batting form.
  2. Matchup second. A top-order batter against a part-time off-spinner in the powerplay is a different question than the same batter against a left-arm seamer at the death.
  3. Role clarity third. We avoid “impact player” all-rounders whose role is unclear — their floor is what kills a fantasy XI.
  4. Toss last, decisive. If the toss goes the wrong way, we re-issue the call before the first ball.

Winners

The leaderboard writes itself.

A selection of recent contest winners, with their pick rationale and the contest format they played. We publish only after the contest is settled.

Daily contests settled

Jeeto11 runs a daily slate across IPL, international T20Is and ODIs, plus weekend marquees. Every contest settles inside four hours of the last ball.

1.5x
Vice-captain multiplier

The vice-captain multiplies by 1.5x and the captain by 2x. Most winning XIs treat the vice-captain as the safer pick, not the bolder one.

100%
Prize pool paid out

Every contest settled on Jeeto11 pays out its full advertised prize pool. There is no rake hidden in the fine print; the rake and the prize split are on the How To Play page.

Why this desk

Editorial work, not marketing.

There are a lot of fantasy-cricket apps and a smaller set of editorial desks that read the games well. Jeeto11 tries to be the second one. Every page is a working page: the points-system reference is updated the day a rule changes, the captain picks go out before the toss, and the eligibility note is republished whenever a state moves.

We do not promise winnings. We do not run a “tips” channel that pretends to be a newspaper. We publish what we know, we source what we don’t, and we update when we’re wrong.

Six things to check before you put money on the line.

A short checklist the desk uses itself, written for any reader who is about to deposit on a fantasy-cricket app.

1

Check your state eligibility

The restricted-state list moves. The desk republishes it every quarter and on every rule change.

2

Read the points system this season

Bonus tiers change. The How To Play page is updated whenever a season rule changes.

3

Understand the bonus code terms

Welcome bonuses have turnover conditions. The Bonus Code page walks through them in plain English.

4

Confirm KYC documents in advance

PAN, Aadhaar or voter ID, and a cancelled cheque. The Wallet & KYC page has the live checklist.

5

Set a weekly cap before your first contest

Treat the weekly spend as the entertainment budget it actually is.

6

Use the customer-care channel for any block

Withdrawal holds, KYC mismatches and bonus disputes resolve fastest through the in-app channel.

Editorial colophon

Who writes the desk.

Jeeto11’s editorial desk is a small team of working sports journalists, each covering a slice of the daily-play slate. The desk publishes under the brand name and is editorially independent from the contest operator.

When a desk note is wrong, we update the page with a dated correction at the foot of the article. When a rule changes, the relevant reference page is republished the same day. When we don’t know something, we say so.

FAQ

Six questions we hear most.

Short answers, sourced where it matters.

Is Jeeto11 legal in India?

Online fantasy cricket sits in a regulated grey zone. Most Indian states permit paid-entry fantasy contests where the contest is a game of skill; a smaller set restricts or bans them. Jeeto11 operates within that framework and blocks paid entries from restricted states at the source. Confirm your state eligibility before depositing.

How does the points system work?

Batters score runs plus a four-bonus and a six-bonus. Bowlers take wickets and pick up LBW and bowled bonuses. Fielders earn catches, stumpings and direct-hit run-outs. Captain picks earn 2x points and vice-captain 1.5x. The full reference table is published in the Points System guide and updated each season.

How quickly does Jeeto11 pay out withdrawals?

Verified UPI withdrawals typically settle inside five minutes during bank hours. Bank transfers can take one to two working days after the first KYC cycle. The withdrawal guide walks through each step.

What is the Jeeto11 refer code?

A refer code is the alphanumeric string an existing user shares so a new signup is tagged to their network. New users entering a valid refer code during sign-up typically receive a joining bonus, and the referrer receives a commission on the new user’s first deposit. The exact mechanics are explained on the Referral Code page.

Can I delete my Jeeto11 account?

Yes. Account deletion is a manual request through the in-app help channel or the Customer Care form. KYC documents are erased in line with the published retention policy, and any unused wallet balance is settled before closure.

Does Jeeto11 have an APK?

Yes. Android users who cannot reach the Google Play store can install the Jeeto11 APK directly from the official APK Download page. The page publishes version numbers, signing fingerprints and the latest release date.
