🏆
Bhavit: The Perfect Booster
Base: 4th (7,685.5) → Boosted: 1st (10,004)
The story of the season. Fourth in base standings but the champion with boosters — Bhavit picked the two best possible GWs to double: GW4 (1,449) and GW5 (870). Sai Sudharsan (1,266 pts) and Virat Kohli (1,153 pts) were the twin pillars all season. A catastrophic GW8 (559) mattered not one bit — the boosters had already sealed it.
😤
CZ: Won Without Boosters, Lost With Them
Base: 1st (8,171.5) → Boosted: 2nd (9,931.5)
The cruellest outcome. CZ led the base standings from wire to wire — consistent, clinical, never below 816 in any GW. But his booster GWs (GW4: 944, GW7: 816) were both below his season average of 1,021, handing Bhavit the title by just 72.5 pts. Had he boosted GW3 (1,410) instead of GW4, he'd have won comfortably. Heinrich Klaasen and Jos Buttler remain the most reliable duo drafted.

Nilay: Left Their Best GW Unboosted
Base: 2nd (7,960.5) → Boosted: 3rd (9,422)
Nilay's GW4 (1,493.5) was the highest single un-boosted GW of the entire season — and he chose not to double it. Instead he boosted GW5 (874) and GW7 (587.5), two of his weaker weeks. KL Rahul was the season's most dominant individual pick: a 296-pt single-match record, the best captain haul of the season (734 pts in GW4) and the best VC haul (336 pts in GW2) — both from the same player.
📉
Rohin: Strong Squad, Modest Boosters
Base: 3rd (7,814.5) → Boosted: 4th (9,346.5)
Rohin had one of the strongest squads on paper and showed it with a dominant GW1 (1,360) and a powerful GW8 finish (1,284). His GW5+GW7 boosters (789+743) were solid but not the big weeks he needed to push higher. Abhishek Sharma (1,251 pts) and Ryan Rickelton were the standout performers — Rickelton's GW6 earned Rohin a captain haul of 454 pts, the 4th best of the season.
🌟
JG: Top Scorer, Solid Boosters
Base: 5th (7,226) → Boosted: 5th (9,174)
JG was home to the season's top individual scorer — Shubman Gill at 1,292 pts. Travis Head's GW5 VC haul (442.5 pts — the best VC pick of the season) was a genuine highlight. His GW4+GW5 boosters captured two of his three best GWs, showing smart timing. A consistent, composed 5th-place finish from a well-constructed squad.
🔧
Kush: Marsh and Jurel Carry the Load
Base: 6th (6,393) → Boosted: 6th (8,063)
Mitchell Marsh was Kush's trump card all season — his GW6 captain haul (678 pts with 2×) was the 3rd best captain pick of the season, and he finished with 1,159 pts overall. Dhruv Jurel (1,060 pts) was equally dependable. Kush timed his GW6 booster well, doubling their second-highest GW (1,015.5 → 2,031). A solid if unflashy 6th-place finish built on reliability over brilliance.
⚡
Harsh: Suryavanshi's Show
Base: 7th (6,103) → Boosted: 7th (7,779.5)
Vaibhav Suryavanshi was Harsh's trump card — his GW2 captain haul (522 pts with 2×) was the 4th best captain pick of the season. The teenager's explosive potential was on full display. GW4+GW5 boosters were a reasonable call but the squad lacked depth elsewhere. Finn Allen's 206-pt match was another bright spot in an otherwise mid-table season.
🦅
Nishel: The Phoenix — Almost Flew High Enough
Base: 9th (5,792) → Boosted: 8th (7,662)
The most dramatic arc of the season. His GW1 (358) and GW2 (330) were the worst two GWs by any team all season — yet he delivered 1,152 in GW3 and 1,172.5 in GW7. That GW7 boosted to 2,345 — the highest boosted GW in the league. Cooper Connolly (1,045 pts) and Jofra Archer (best VC in GW8: 361.5 pts) showed what his squad could do. He climbed above Kunal in both base and boosted standings.
🎢
Kunal: Feast, Famine, and Terrible Booster Skill
Base: 8th (5,798.5) → Boosted: 9th (7,373.5)
The most volatile squad in the league. Sanju Samson single-handedly carried entire GWs for him — two 200+ scores, and both the best captain pick (GW4: 508 pts) and best VC pick (GW6: 376.5 pts) of the season were Samson. But his GW8 booster (461.5 → 923) was the worst booster GW in the league. A brilliant GW6 booster (1,113.5 → 2,227) couldn't compensate. He finished last in the boosted standings despite fielding the season's most entertaining team.
