Pick a franchise. Build your XI. Take the title. Lead one of ten teams with fictional names and familiar abbreviations, based on the completed IPL 2025 mega-auction squads. Play with player aliases such as Rohit Sherma and Virat Koli.
Each team plays 14 league matches, seven at home and seven away. The top four advance to Qualifier 1, the Eliminator, Qualifier 2 and the final. The top two get a second chance to reach the final.
This is a simulated season with generated fixtures and one primary home ground per team. Historical dates, secondary venues, injury replacements, overseas-player limits and Impact Player substitutions are not reproduced. The higher league seed hosts each playoff.
