Fantasy Cricket Tips — Rohit Sharma
IPL 2026 captaincy, venue & matchup analysis
₹9.0 Cr
Opener — explosive at powerplay, clutch in chases
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Knockout specialist. Backs himself in must-win games. SL lock in must-win.
Wankhede (home ground: avg 50+, SR 145+). Eden Gardens (large boundaries suit his pull shot).
Chepauk (slow, low-scoring; averages 30 here)
High ownership but underperforms in group-stage dead rubbers — fade those matches in GL.
Batting first at Wankhede = Rohit ceiling 100+. Chasing at Chepauk = fade.
Dominates right-arm pace. Vulnerable vs quality left-arm spin (avg drops 30%).
Wankhede IPL: 2,000+ runs at SR 145. Knockout matches: SR 155+.
Rohit saves his best for finals and knockout games. In league stage, verify recent form.

xFP Player Profile
Rohit Sharma — model view
The CricJosh expected-fantasy-points engine publishes a per-player vector: point estimate, 80% prediction band, captaincy multiplier, venue tilt, and a sample-size flag. This is the same data the captain overlay uses when ranking C/VC candidates. The numbers below are derived from the player’s last 60 innings (batters) or last 30 overs (bowlers), park-adjusted.

How to read these numbers
The xFP point estimate is the model’s best guess at this player’s fantasy-points-per-match under average conditions. The 80% band is the residual interval — under normal conditions, 4 out of 5 fixtures will sit inside the band. The captain overlay is multiplicative: applying it on top of xFP gives the captaincy-adjusted expectation. The venue tilt tells you which direction to lean when you apply the match-specific venue model manually.
Caveat
These outputs are part of a model-produced vector. CricJosh.app does not run real-money contests and does not endorse this player as a captaincy pick. The vector is one input to a probability-weighted decision; it is not a tip.
