Fantasy sports have raised their standards since their boost in Indian Market. During this dream phase, many fantasy platforms have been evolved and the user base has also been increased. Last year was a year of pandemic and around 90-100 million users played fantasy sports. Fantasy sports kept the users engage to the game. In the last couple of years, various fantasy platforms launched some other games apart from cricket like MyTeam11 launched Rugby in 2020, and Dream11 introduced NFL.
Let’s understand top-five fantasy games that can be played on Indian fantasy platforms: 1. Cricket Cricket is a big market for fantasy platforms and this game has taken a large space in the user-base of fantasy games. Around 80 percent of people love to play fantasy cricket and the number rises each year. During the time of the World Cup and Indian T20 League, we see a big turnaround in fantasy cricket. For Indian users, fantasy is all about cricket. Fantasy platforms have also kept this in mind and they added a big amount for cricket. If you’re a regular fantasy user, you will see one crore of winning-prize only in cricket. Even the revenue of fantasy platform comes from cricket fans and this game takes place in more than half of the revenue which signifies the strength of the user-base in cricket. 2. Football Football was the first game that was used in fantasy and the idea of launching Football Fantasy came through FPL (Fantasy Premier League in England). To Play Fantasy Football, you simply need to pick 11 players and they have four sections to pick such as goalkeepers, defenders, midfielders, and forwards. Fantasy points are divided through scoring goals, tackles, assists, clean sheets, etc. Most users pick their captain and vice-captain from forwards and midfielders because mostly they score a goal. It has the second-largest user base in India after cricket. 3. Kabaddi Fantasy Kabaddi emerged victorious in 2019 and we saw a good change in its user base. The launch of PKL (Pro Kabaddi League) in India helped fantasy platforms to evolve this game among Indian fans. User-base crossed Football’s fan base during PKL in 2019. In Kabaddi, you also get few sections but you pick 7 players and it’s really tough to get the best fantasy team. Kabaddi’s user base only grows during specific Kabaddi tournaments but it has a great fantasy experience. 4. Basketball Basketball got its user base after the success of Football Fantasy. It has a larger audience in the US but after the popularity of the NBA in India, fantasy Basketball has tightened the grip on the Indian user base. Fantasy platforms also added some European competitions in Basketball and during the cricket’s off-season, Basketball marks the attention of many users. You can pick 8 players from five sections such as Point-Guard, Shooting-Guard, Small-Forward, Power-Forward, and 5. Baseball With the popularity of Basketball, Indian users loved playing Baseball. This game is quite similar to cricket and it has a great fan base among Indians who live in the US. Fantasy platforms promoted non-cricketing games and US baseball competitions for those users who had avoided playing cricket. Regular fantasy users love playing all kinds of fantasy games and Baseball also takes part in this category. In Baseball, you can pick nine players from four different sections as outfielders, infielders, pitchers, and catchers. The chances of winning in Baseball are high and the competition is pretty low.
