India fantasy cricket was launched 18 years before. The ESPN Super Selector launched the first ever fantasy sport in India in 2001. It was jointly created by Joy Bhattacharya and ESPN, It just involved a simple process of picking up a team of 11 players within the provided budget. After that, points were awarded to players according to their performance on the real field. During the times of Cricket World Cup 2003 which held in South Africa, the super selector was quite popular among the cricket lovers. More than 500,000 people joined the fantasy cricket. And after the success of super selector, the other huge media houses, such as BBC and Sky Television were inspired and they launched their own fantasy cricket clones.

Nevertheless, fantasy cricket evolved very much in the past 18 years. Initially, there were half a million users but after the evolution, the domain number reached to 20 million users. According to the report of the Indian Federation of Sports Gaming (IFSG), this domain has seen massive growth in the last two years.
