How to pick captain & vice-captain on RS9
C/VC multipliers · read the card before lock
Captain and vice-captain choices swing your score more than any single bench swap. This guide frames how RS9 applies C/VC boosts so you can decide before the contest locks.
On RS9, like other Indian fantasy cricket apps, your captain usually earns a 2× points multiplier and your vice-captain a smaller boost (commonly 1.5× — always confirm on the live team screen). Pick players who are likely to bat or bowl enough overs, not just big names on the bench.
Before lock: check pitch notes, toss if shown, and whether your C/VC is in the playing XI. Then join a room only after you read fee and prize steps on the contest card.
Quick checklist
- Confirm C and VC are in the announced XI when the app shows it.
- Prefer roles with volume (openers, strike bowlers) over speculative differential picks for your first contests.
- Do not chase last-second WhatsApp “sure C/VC” tips — build your own XI.
