In a country that hails cricket not just as a sport or an event, but more like a religion, a cult, a way of life, it is rather elating to see cricket being played in almost every nook and corner of it.

What was previously regarded as a boring set of overs that one generally chose to avoid, like a particular escapade in a test series, has now been replaced by reward system that Fantasy Leagues provides. This takes viewership to the next level by
