India's online gaming platform takes over 3/4th of the gaming market. By far, 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 there 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 widened to other sports such as hockey, football, basketball, kabaddi, badminton, etc. However, the most famous arena
remains Fantasy cricket.
Moreover, in 2019, Sixer 11 encouraged the rise of other gaming unicorns in the country. With Fantasy cricket sports platforms like Sixer 11
enthralling crores of gamers every day, we are seeing an enormous surge in India's fantasy sports industry.
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.
| SN | PLAYER TYPE | MIN PLAYER(S) | MAX PLAYER(S) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Wicket Keeper (WK) | 1 | 1 |
| 2 | Batter (BAT) | 1 | 1 |
| 3 | All Rounder (AR) | 1 | 1 |
| 4 | Bowler (BOWL) | 1 | 1 |
Pro Tip: The Captained By (% C By) and Vice-Captained By (% VC By) stats help you understand how other Fantasy players have chosen their teams.
