1. Highest Individual Score in an IPL Match
Chris Gayle – 175 (66 balls)*

A legendary knock that remains untouched. Gayle’s brutal hitting earned fantasy players massive points and remains one of the most picked innings in IPL fantasy history.

Kohli’s form in 2016 was fantasy gold. With four centuries and consistent performance, he became a must-have in every Vision11 fantasy cricket lineup.

The "Universe Boss" dominated bowlers with monstrous sixes. A six-hitter like Gayle is always valuable in fantasy leagues, where boundary points make a big difference.

Virat Kohli – 7,000+ Runs
Kohli’s consistency and hunger for runs make him the all-time leading run-scorer. He’s also one of the safest and most rewarding fantasy cricket picks.

David Warner – 50+ Half-Centuries
The Australian opener is known for fast starts and anchoring innings. A reliable pick for top-order fantasy points.
