We’ll introduce you to one of our users who followed his instincts and was determined to excel in Fantasy Sports, did so in a grand fashion by winning over ₹9 Lakh playing Fantasy Cricket on HalaPlay. Read on to witness few glimpses and milestones from his memorable journey on the platform.
Please do describe yourself to our readers. Where you grew up, what are you pursuing currently and what you did before playing Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS)?
I am Dhanasekar M (known as WinDhana on HalaPlay), from Kaalipalayam, Tirupur. I studied B.Sc from Govt Arts College, Ooty.
How did you come across HalaPlay and when did you start playing on it?
One of my friends who has been a regular player on HalaPlay for a long time, ‘Ooty Ganesan’, introduced me to the platform sometime in 2017.
How has your DFS journey been till now? Tell us about few of your struggles and successes.
I have been playing Fantasy Sports on a daily basis for quite sometime now. Initially I struggled a bit but then my consistent efforts made me learn so much that I’m doing pretty well and enjoying the journey to the fullest.
What kind of preparation and research goes behind drafting the teams?
First preference before playing any match is to study the pitch conditions & toss result. After that I look for previous match statistics and historical records.
How do you pick the players? What factors do you generally consider?
My priority has always been the current form of players and basis that I tend to make my teams in almost every match.
What is it that you generally look for in a player to be the Captain of your team?
Mostly I go for ‘all rounders’ for the Captain position as they can contribute with both bat & ball.
Which was your best day on HalaPlay? What is it that keeps reminding you about it?
This happened last year when I entered 2 different teams in the big league of entry fee ₹350 in Zimbabwe Vs Afghanistan ODI match and both of them got the 1st price.
How has your experience been with the Season Passes and what is it that you like the most about them?
That’s one of the best features I like on HalaPlay. They have designed it very well considering users’ expectations and demands. I find it very useful for my gameplay and Silver Pass is my favourite.
Do you have any preferred leagues (the ones you play the most) on HalaPlay?
As per my big winnings mentioned before, I’d say the big league of entry fee ₹350 has been my all time favourite.
Do you also play and compete with your friends? If yes, how is that experience different from playing with the strangers?
Oh Yes! I have played lot of leagues with my friends. It is actually a wonderful opportunity to learn from them and there is a healthy competition amongst us.
What advice would you offer to a player new to DFS in terms of strategy?
Don’t make a habit of selecting only the big name players with huge records. Do realise the importance of the current form as well. And Winning or Loosing is part of life. They shouldn’t be taken too seriously and so I never mind them.
Where do you see yourself down the road in regards to DFS? Do you want there to be a long-term thing for you?
It’s a sure shot long term thing, quite evident looking at the journey I’ve lived and the achievements that have come along. HalaPlay has played a big role in this, so I plan to continue playing DFS only here, and nowhere else.
