Injury Watch FAQ
How often is injury watch updated?
Every 30 minutes during live match days. Once at 7 AM, 12 PM, 3 PM, 6 PM IST on match days. Final update 30 minutes before toss.
What if my captain is ruled out?
Vice-captain becomes captain at 1.5x. Always pick VC with similar upside so the swap doesn't lose ground. Some operators allow one-player swap before toss.
Are injury reports accurate?
Mostly — official team announcements are the source. Some players carry niggles that don't make official reports. Match-day decisions happen at toss.
Should I avoid doubtful players?
Generally yes — captain ownership drops 50%+ on doubtful players. Wait for fitness clearance. If cleared, lock them in. If out, swap to backup.
