Tournament Hype & Fantasy Trends: How Big Events Reshape the Game
CricketPanditWhen a major cricket tournament begins, everything changes—fan emotions run high, underdogs rise, and fantasy trading becomes more volatile. Whether it’s the IPL, World Cup, or a T20 League, fantasy users on Cricket Pandit see a surge in activity, and the way players are picked, traded, and valued transforms almost overnight.
If you want to win big during tournament season, understanding these trends is a must.
🚀 What Changes During Big Tournaments?
1️⃣ Surge in User Participation
During IPL or international events, thousands of new users join daily. This spike increases trading volume, causes rapid price fluctuations, and opens the door to momentum-based plays.
2️⃣ Overvalued Superstars
Big names like Rohit Sharma, Babar Azam, or Jos Buttler often see inflated prices. While they’re reliable, the real edge comes from identifying low-cost, high-performing players before they explode.
3️⃣ Recency Bias
A player scores big in one match, and suddenly everyone buys their stock. This leads to short-term spikes you can sell into for profits.
