Cricket, as it stands, is the most popular sport in India & this year with the 12th edition of the Indian Premier League & the 2019 World Cup, the numbers relating to viewership, fantasy cricket were all over the place. Fantasy Cricket reached new heights in the last 4 months & at this pace, it's only going to multiply exponentially. On FanFight, the fantasy cricket universe went berserk. 4 months of non-stop cricketing action & millions of fantasy cricket players led to some mind-boggling numbers.
In a very short span, India's finest fantasy sports portal has now breached the 4 million barrier. The user count during the cricketing extravaganza increased by a whopping 147%.

That's a massive milestone for FanFight & I'm incredibly proud of the team," mentioned Akhil Suhag - CEO FanFight.
FanFight has embarked on the idea of introducing Fantasy Kabaddi into its game centre. Kabaddi in the last 3-4 years has gained prominence, deservedly, & the fantasy version of the sport is bound to make an impact on the fantasy sports world. The dynamic fantasy sports portal will now host fantasy cricket, fantasy football & fantasy kabaddi. If you are a sports fanatic, FanFight is the place to be.

With the introduction of a brand new UI, safe & secure payment portals & instantaneous transactions FanFight has become a colossal hit among the fantasy sports sphere. Speaking about the growth in the year 2019, CEO Akhil Suhag said- "We've been on the rise as far as numbers are concerned & that's a massive boost for us as an organisation.

The sporting season is ceaseless. There's no end to the cricketing season, the 5 major leagues across Europe, the Champions League will be played throughout the year & Fantasy Kabaddi will play the role of a cameo to a nicety. Fantasy Sports, as a whole has manufactured its way into the sporting market & FanFight has played a pivotal role here.
"Kabaddi is exciting, is played for only 40 minutes & features some of the finest players in the world. Fantasy Kabaddi will play an integral part on FanFight & it’ll slowly but steadily pave way for other sports as well" - said Akhil.
WHAT'S NEXT ON FANFIGHT
The cricketing calendar is as crowded as it can get. The ICC World Test Championship, the various T20 leagues across the world & the ODI/List-A fixtures will feature on FanFight. The Pro Fantasy Kabaddi League will take centre stage & the matches from the 5 major leagues in Europe will all be lined-up on FanFight's game centre.
Using your sporting knowledge to win cash sounds exciting & it surely is. FanFight hasn't meandered around. It has been very clear with its approach. The Fantasy users now are glued to their phones/devices when a fantasy game is about to resume. FanFight's safe edit option has given everybody an equal opportunity to win money. You can now choose your playing XI until the very 1st delivery is bowled, until the referee blows the whistle(football) & until the Kabaddi brawl begins.
"All the fantasy players must feel that they have equal chances to win. We'd contemplated this move but after plenty of brainstorming sessions, the decision was okayed & it has worked wonderfully. We thrive on creating something new & exciting for the users & there's plenty more coming," said CTO Krishna Chaitanya.
The India vs South Africa series, the various European football leagues & the Pro Kabaddi League are in FanFight's radar for the next month or two. The graph displaying the number of fantasy players on FanFight has only shot upwards before the sporting season has even kicked-off. Now that's a huge positive.

With the sporting season on the horizon, FanFight has decided to spend aggressively to make fantasy sports a pleasant experience for all the users. FanFight has a strong user base.

Keeping things simple has been FanFight's go-to mantra. The user interface, the transactional changes & the ease of playing fantasy sports have always been on the priority list. The portal has looked into it & has always found ways to make fantasy sports better & simple. Why has the user base reached 4 million within no time, one might wonder?
