Cricket, unlike sports like Basketball and Football, is a game of discrete events. Each ball is followed by a stoppage after which the next ball is bowled. Therefore, for fans and Fantasy Cricket aficionados alike, it is easier to follow what players achieve in each ball. This aspect of Cricket naturally lends itself to Fantasy Team games. In the following, we shall list Five Reasons for the growth in popularity of Fantasy Cricket in India
1. The joy of Constructing a Fantasy Team
Imagine Andre Russell, Rashid Khan, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in the same team. Or a team of 11 all-rounders? The Stuff of dreams isn’t it? In a country where the game is a religion and almost a billion people have an opinion on who should play or who should not, Fantasy Cricket allows one to construct a roster of one’s choice and allows you to play as Coach, Captain and General Manager. That feeling of ‘control’ over events is a good one to have and fantasy cricket gives that to every cricket lover in the country.

2. Increase your Enthusiasm over T20 Leagues
With the rapid proliferation of T20 and T10 leagues around the world, cricket fans now have the chance to see their favourite players in action every other day. But, of course, since there are a lot of leagues, it becomes difficult for the average cricket fan to keep up with all the action.
However, the introduction of Fantasy Cricket augments the stakes for fans and leads to more interest in the game since members of the Fantasy Team you constructed are playing.
3. Chance to show your Cricketing Knowledge
Playing Fantasy Cricket also gives one the chance to display one’s reading of the game. You pick players on the basis of your understanding of their skills on particular conditions as well as your knowledge of their current form. So, the results you get are testimony to your grasp of the game at large.
Your friends, family and the internet at large can now further understand your knowledge of the game by looking at your Fantasy Roster. Fantasy Cricket thereby acts as a platform for not only putting your cricketing knowledge to the right use but also gives you bragging rights when your knowledge helps you in putting together a winning combination.
