Earning money without any hard work is perhaps the most coveted thing in the entire universe. From a high-ranked officer at a major corporate to a tea-seller at your local tea-stall, people have to do some hard work to earn their bread.

But what if you could avoid all that and earn money with no hard work and a little bit of luck? No, this is not about lottery, this is about joining Oye Captain, making your fantasy team and earning money easily.

With so much cricket going on around the world, earning has become a lot easier with Oye Captain. With the Chapell-Hadlee series around the corner, here are 5 players you should definitely pick for your fantasy team:

Mitchell Starc - 9.5

Who else but him? Along with Mustafizur Rahman, he is the best left-handed fast bowler in the world who has scalped many batsmen in the cricketing fraternity. Australia might be going through a torrid time after being desecrated by the Proteas, but Starc remains the key weapon in their arsenal.

Since the matches are going to take place at Australia, the pitches will favour fast bowlers and there’s none better to exploit such conditions as Mitchell Starc. His lethal short balls are sure to torment the Kiwis and, despite being expensive at 9.5 credits, he is still a player that you must have in your team.

David Warner - 10.5

When the whole of Australian batting order becomes the equivalent of a house of cards amidst a tempest, David Warner stands there like a mountain. The opener was one of the better players for Australia against South Africa in their 5-0 drubbing, scoring a mammoth 173 which went in vain ultimately.

He will cost you a lot of credits, 10.5 to be exact, but given the form that he is in, he will most likely score in half-centuries and centuries to make up for the price affixed with him. Warner scored 2 centuries and a half-century against South Africa in the One Day International series, which is a good enough testament to his aforementioned form.

Trent Boult - 8.5

One of the easiest ways to earn points in a fantasy game is to have wicket-taking bowlers. Since each wicket gives a player 25 points, coupled with OyeCaptain’s unique rules that also provide bonuses for bowling maiden overs, winning points becomes a piece of cake with the right bowler.

And Trent Boult could be that bowler. With 36 wickets from only 16 One Day Internationals, he has begun his career in the best possible manner. Given that the pitches in Australia always help the speedsters, amalgamated with the fact that the Australian batsmen aren’t exactly at their best, picking Trent Boult almost certainly guarantees points.

Best part? He costs only 8.5 credits.

Kane Williamson - 11

If you had to pick one New Zealand batsman, it has to be Kane Williamson. Without a doubt, he is the Kiwis’ best batsman and can inflict some serious damage on the Aussies. If not with the bat, he also has the adequate bowling prowess to pick wickets up here and there, but it is his batting that makes him such an indispensable talent.

He might be one of the most expensive players among all the cricketers in both the teams, and that actually shows why he should be in your team. The chances of success with him is so much that he is priced at 11 credits. And he will most likely pay that back tenfold.

Colin de Grandhomme - 8

Fantasy is all about picking up that one player that isn’t expected to make much of an impact, but surprises everybody by becoming a revelation. Colin de Grandhomme could be that X-factor that tilts the series towards the favour of the Kiwis.

Handy with both the bat and the bowl, he is sure to earn you points given that he is an all-rounder in the purest sense of the word. He might have only played one ODI in his life, but he impressed viewers with his completeness against Pakistan in the two Tests that he played against them.

He will only cost 8 credits, something which is more than a bargain for an all-rounder and prove to be the differential for you in your aim of reaching the top.
