Editor’s Pick(PKL): Gujarat - Bengaluru

By
Gujarat Fortune Giants - Squad strength: 18 (15 Indian, 3 Overseas)
Defenders – Abozar Mighani, C Kalai Arasan, Fazel Atrachali, Vikas Kale, Manoj Kumar, Parvesh Bhainswal, Sunil Kumar
Raiders –  Sukesh Hegde, Mahendra Rajput, Sachin, Amit Rathi, Dange Sultan, Pawan Kumar, Rakesh Narwal, Chandran Ranjit
All Rounders – Seong Ryeol Kim, Mahipal Narwal, Rohit Gulia
Bengaluru Bulls - Squad strength: 18 (16 Indian, 2 Overseas)
Defenders –  Ravinder Pahal, Sachin Kumar, Navjot Singh, Pradeep Narwal, Kuldeep Singh, Mahender Singh
Raiders – Rohit Kumar, Ajay Kumar, Sumit Singh, Harish Naik, Sinotharan Kanesharajah, Gurvinder Singh, Rohit, Sunil Jaipal
All Rounders – Sanjay Shrestha, Ashish Kumar, Ankit Sangwan, Amit, Preetam Chhillar
Zone A Topper meets Zone B Topper. While Gujarat has 23 points to show for its performance, Bengaluru scored 20.

My Lineup
AR: Rohit Gulia, Ashish Kumar
DF: Fazel Atrachali, Mahender Singh
RA: Rohit Kumar, Sachin, Ajay Kumar

Picking this lineup was not difficult. The players I have picked are not just average but belong to a separate class altogether. Rohit Kumar, for example, is debatably the best raider PKL Season 5 has seen. With 58 raid points in the games and a massive 808 on the Fantain Fantasy app, there really isn’t much to decide. Fazel, Iranian left-corner, has earned 161 points on the app. He is one of the best defenders 2017 has seen.

Probable team
Bengaluru Bulls - Ajay Kumar, Ashish Kumar, Mahender Singh, Ankit S, Sachin Kumar, Rohit Kumar, Ravinder Pahal
Gujarat Fortune Giants - Sachin, Mighani, Sunil Kumar, Fazel A, Sukesh Hegde, Rohit Gulia, Parvesh

As the matches are heading towards a critical point, it is time that the stars on whom the team depends upon show why they are who they are.

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.

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.
