Fantasy Cricket Industry Overview in India
India’s online gaming platform takes over 3/4th of the gaming market. Fantasy sports is one of the most popular genres in the gaming world and is estimated to grow to a Rs. 1,65,000 crore market by FY25. From just a few fantasy sports gaming platforms in 2016 to 300+ developers at present, India is remarkably transforming this industry.
While fantasy cricket has been around for a long time, it was in 2008, when the Indian Premier League was introduced, that the cricket world was taken by storm. This, in turn, led to the popularity of ‘Fantasy cricket.’ Since then, Fantasy sports have advanced faster, and their reach has widened to other sports such as hockey, football, basketball, kabaddi, badminton, etc. However, the most famous arena remains the cricket fantasy leagues.
Moreover, in 2019, LiveCricketGuru encouraged the rise of other gaming unicorns in the country. With Fantasy cricket sports platforms like LiveCricketGuru enthralling crores of gamers every day, we are seeing an enormous surge in India’s fantasy sports industry.
Fantasy Cricket Points System
The Fantasy points differ slightly from one format of cricket to another. For example, if a bowler’s economy rate is under 5 runs per over in T20I, six points are added. However, there are no points based on the economy rate at all in Test cricket. Similarly, if a batter is dismissed for a duck in a Test match – four points are deducted. However, if the same happens in T10 or a T20 format, two points are deducted.
This is just to inform you that the points system varies by format. Here is a detailed write-up on the fantasy cricket points system. One thing, however, which is common across all formats is that the captain and vice-captain get 2x and 1.5x the points.
