Sounds strange, right? Well, that’s exactly what Reverse Fantasy on Vision11 offers. It flips the entire game and makes it even more fun, challenging, and strategic.
In this blog, we’ll explain how Reverse Fantasy works, how it’s different from the regular format, and most importantly—how to win big by playing it smart.
???? What Is Reverse Fantasy Mode?
In regular fantasy cricket, you pick players who will score the most runs, take the most wickets, and perform the best.
In Reverse Fantasy, it’s the opposite! You have to pick players who you think will perform the worst in the match.
The goal is to score fewer points than everyone else. So instead of chasing centuries and 5-wicket hauls, you’re cheering for dropped catches, runouts, or even ducks.
Crazy? Yes.
Fun? Absolutely!

✅ Tips to Win in Reverse Fantasy Mode
Winning in Reverse Fantasy isn’t just about guessing—there’s a strategy to it. Here’s how you can play smart and maximize your winnings:
1. Pick Players Who Might Not Play a Full Match
- Lower-order batters who may not get to bat
- Bowlers who don’t bowl all their overs
- Players coming back from injury or out of rhythm
These players are less likely to score points, making them ideal picks.
2. Avoid Captains and Key Players
Top-order batters or strike bowlers are risky in Reverse Fantasy.
- They often perform well
- They have more chances to score points
- Many users mistakenly pick them due to habit
✅ Instead, choose inconsistent players or those batting at No. 6 or 7.
3. Check Pitch & Match Conditions
- A high-scoring pitch? Pick bowlers from the weaker team.
- A spin-friendly pitch? Choose pacers who might go for runs or not get wickets.
- Rain-shortened match? Select batters lower down the order.
➡️ This reduces their chances of scoring fantasy points.
4. Target Risky Players
Some players are inconsistent — they either score big or get out early.
In Reverse Fantasy, that risk is your advantage.
- Choose players who often get out for low scores
- Look for bowlers who tend to leak runs
- Watch for players under pressure to perform
5. Watch Team Announcements
Always check the final playing XI. If you select someone who’s not playing, you could miss points.
But remember, if the player doesn't bowl or bat, that’s often a good thing in Reverse Fantasy.
???? Tip: Don’t load your team with non-performers—mix it up wisely.
6. Use Captain/Vice-Captain Tricks
- Your captain earns 2x their score (which you want to be low!)
- So make your worst possible pick the captain
- Vice-captain should be another likely flop performer
⚠️ Don’t make a mistake here — a high-performing captain can destroy your rank!
???? Real-Life Example: Reverse Fantasy Done Right
Let’s say:
- India is playing Bangladesh
- The pitch is slow and spin-friendly
- You notice a middle-order batter from Bangladesh has poor stats against spin
You make him your captain, pick a few tailenders, and avoid all the obvious stars.
Guess what?
He gets out for 6 runs, doesn’t bowl, and your team ends up in the top 1% of the leaderboard.
That’s the magic of smart play in Reverse Fantasy.
