You have to create an account on any of the fantasy apps, pay a small fee to play the game. But unlike real cricket, fantasy cricket operates on how the players chosen by you fare during the game. For instance, how many runs, wickets, or even catches they take. Some other aspects include the batsmen strike rate, which is a must in 20-20 cricket format. Based on all these parameters you score points and compete with other fantasy teams on the platform. Here are the best IPL fantasy apps to get you started.
