“Cricket is not a sport, it’s a religion.” You might have heard this saying before, and it might very well be true in a country like India. With over a billion fervent followers in the country religiously watching the sport, it’s hard to argue otherwise.

According to Business Standard, cricket draws 93% of all sports viewers in the country. Industry expert Romil Ramgarhia had this to say, “cricket continues to be the most-watched sport in India. The broad fan base of cricket is evident from the fact that women constitute 48 percent of viewers”.

He further added that “growth in cricket viewership is increasingly coming from regional language broadcasts. It’s visible from non-English consumption rising from 77 percent in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2018 to 81 percent in IPL 2019, and now it’s being telecast in 7 languages. The wide range of formats and tournaments, increasing viewer interest in women’s cricket, international T20 leagues and domestic competitions are driving cricket viewership to new highs.”

The raw numbers speak for themselves. Despite how popular the sport already is, it is getting even bigger with increased viewership and broadcast content.

Part of this increase in popularity is due to the avenues through which you can enjoy the sport. Apart from all the excitement that one can get from watching and playing cricket, one can also delve themselves into the experience by being part of the fantasy cricket app experience.

What Exactly Is A Fantasy Sports App?

A fantasy sport is a sort of match, often played on the Internet, where participants bring together imaginary or virtual teams of true professional sports players. Based on the statistical results of those players in real matches, these teams compete and earn points.

How Does Fantasy Cricket Work?

In a fantasy cricket application, each user typically picks out a team of 11 players from a pool of players from both of the competing teams. Points are then rewarded according to that player’s performance in the match.

For example, points are rewarded for runs scored, wickets taken, catches pouched and any other meaningful contribution that can be tracked.

At the end of the match, the total cumulative points of the team and all its players are calculated. The team with more points ends up being the winner.

Teams are grouped together in a group or a “league.” Depending on the fantasy app and the type of match, the number of teams in a league might differ. Head-to-head leagues have only two competing participants while the bigger leagues can accommodate hundreds of teams.

Right Time To Invest In A Fantasy Cricket App?

With the huge success of fantasy sports all across the globe, there are many services popping up within the country trying to capitalize on this craze. One such company that has seen huge success in recent years is Dream11.

Dream11 has come a long way from its humble start in 2012, seven years ago. Every year since then, they have grown considerably. From a respectable 10 lakh users in 2016, they have ballooned to an astonishing 4 crore users in 2018. Now that’s impressive!

As you might have seen, the fantasy cricket app industry has grown so much so that they were a major advertiser throughout the recent world cup. Any qualms or uncertainty about the industry seems to have dissipated.

With such a young user base, the potential to draw users in for the long haul is a huge possibility.
