Comparison of top Fantasy Cricket League platforms
Fantasy cricket games have always been a rage, especially when IPL season is on. While every platform has different rules, they work on the same principle. Users need to select their Fantasy XI and depending on how the players perform in the match, the users accumulate points. Further, some platforms also allow one-on-one contests. Here is a brief guide comparing the top Fantasy Cricket League platforms.
Dream 11: The most popular platform
Dream 11 is one of the biggest fantasy league platforms in India. In order to participate, you need to pick your playing XI. You must be cautious while selecting your captain and vice-captain since their points are multiplied by 2 and 1.5 respectively. After selecting a team, you need to join a cash contest to win money and every contest has an entry fee.
MS Dhoni is the brand ambassador of the Dream 11
In 2018, Dream 11 roped in former skipper MS Dhoni as its brand ambassador. The company claims to have almost 2 crore users and distribute crores of winnings in every IPL match.
