How Fantasy Cricket is Changing the Sport 

Fantasy sports was introduced into our lives in recent times and it has driven cricket to another magnitude on so many levels. Not even a decade has passed since its inception and it has already made a spot in most of the youth's smartphones.

Cricket is a centuries-old sport which was pretty much going in the same mundane way, and today's youth is more into the shorter format of the game unlike five-day long test matches, and the introduction of the T20 format of cricket, as well as the different leagues, did ignite a spark in the hearts of the fans. But fantasy cricket took this excitement to a whole another level.

It is fun to play on these apps. It takes a bit of your time and can give you much bigger rewards in return. The idea is to make a team of 11 players selecting from the two teams that are competing in a match, and if your team is better than your adversaries you get to enjoy rewards. The team selected by you is highly unlikely to be the same as your adversaries as you get to choose your own captain and vice-captain that would fetch you extra points if they perform well.

The game depends on the fantasy points system which defines the ways your team can collect points. For example, every run scored by your selected batsman will give you one point, and likewise, if your selected bowler manages to pick a wicket you will be awarded 25 points, and just like that there is a criterion of points distribution that follows for different events in the game.

It would not be wrong to say that that the introduction of online fantasy cricket app has motivated people to watch more cricket. There is no doubt that we used to love cricket earlier too, but the situation has changed now, we not only love cricket now but it has been more exciting and gives us rush because of the emergence of these apps, which indeed has changed the way we watch cricket these days. If you have made your team and are playing in any of the matches, it is highly unlikely that you will not stream the match.

Every user is more involved in cricket as compared to earlier times when we just used to watch matches in which India was playing. Now we not only love watching India play but also, we love watching other teams play because some part of us is also playing in that match through making our own team. Indian T20 League is a prime example of why people are so much into it and why it is a hit league across the globe. Almost all the youth indulges into making their own team on different apps, and that gives a humongous rise in the audience that streams the matches.
