Editor’s Pick (PKL)

By
Haryana - Delhi
Zone A match - Dabang Delhi meets Haryana Steelers. Fourth and fifth on the table, these two teams are rather closely matched, with a difference of just one point. Will this match also be close? Let’s see
My lineup
AR: Meraj Sheykh
DF: Surendar Nada, Viraj Vishnu, Mohit Chhillar
RA: Vikash Khandola, Abolfazi M, Anand Patil

Amongst the allrounders, I really did not have much to pick from. Sheykh was my only option literally. The defenders on the other hand - there was Nilesh Shinde who scored 217 points on the app, and Sunil with 150. I have stepped out of my comfort zone and putting my trust in Anand Patil for this match. Let’s see what he has in him. The mass seems to pick Surjeet Singh. R Sriram is not a bad choice, I must say. My gut says Surjeet Singh.
UP - Tamil Nadu
The other match today - Zone B - UP Yoddha meets Tamil Thalaivas. The Tamil Nadu team is still at the bottom of the table. With eleven points to their credit, they are only one point less than the team above them - Telugu Titans.

My lineup
AR: Rajesh Narwal, D Pradap
DF: Amit Hooda, C Arun
RA: Mahesh Goud, Rishank Devadiga, Nitin Tomar.

This match has a better pool to pick from. There’s Sagar Krishna and Pankaj. Amit Hooda and C Arun are, to me, obvious picks. Ajay Thakur and Prapanjan K are the must-haves too. For some reason, I chose to ignore them this match and pick Mahesh Goud and Devadiga.

There are too many matches coming up to talk big picture now. What do you think about my choices this time?

Fantasy Sports in India - Growth and Future

By
Not Just Yet Another Western Import
Fantasy sports is already a huge phenomenon world over, particularly in the Western world, and is only growing. And an ecosystem is developing around it – from sports experts to technology providers to ordinary fans turned pundits. Industry estimates peg the overall market for Fantasy Sports in the US alone to be $4 Billion annually[1] and grew at a rate of 8.5%[2] annually between 2011-2016. It is only estimated to maintain and improve that trajectory of growth in the next 5 years.
Fantasy Sports in India has picked up significantly over the past few years, coinciding with the rise of franchise sports, particularly cricket and IPL. There are a number of providers that have launched their fantasy sports platforms and in many instances, more or less mimicked the offerings of their Western counterparts. These organisations have been claiming steady growth to their user base and winnings in the last two-three years, but somehow their numbers haven’t y…
