How much do you love cricket? Give yourself one point if you answered ‘Yes’ for each of the following questions: 1. Do you watch most IPL games? 2. Do you check cricket news daily during IPL season? 3. Is cricket your favorite discussion topic with your closest friends? 4. Do you consider April 2nd as a national holiday? 5. Do you know names of best IPL players by heart? If you get at least 3 points, my next question to you: how can you build on your passion? What about playing online cricket fantasy games? Don’t be skeptical. Here is why it might make sense to check this out. Imagine that you register at the online game website for free. All of sudden you receive 1 million virtual dollars to invest in your favorite IPL players. So, let’s say today is April 7th, a day before the beginning of season 4. By the evening most IPL players will do a virtual initial public offering (IPO), meaning that they will make available certain number of shares at certain initial price. Depending on their individual performance over the course of the current IPL season and demand of other gamers, like you, stock prices will start changing. If you know players well and can predict their performance, you can increase your virtual capital through stock appreciation and virtual dividends that are paid out by the end of each week. You can also compare your results with those of your friends, classmates or colleagues as you can see their stock performance. Additionally, if you are among top 10 investors, you will receive a prize such as a nice t-shirt that will help you to tease your friends even more. As a result, you get entertained, get news about your favorite cricket players, socialize with other cricket fans, and learn how to trade stocks, if you are new to this business. An example of this fantasy cricket game might be Trade O’Sports:http://www.tradeosports.com. This relatively new online game was developed by Harvard Business School MBA students, Arindam Mukherjee and Aatif Misbah. Being born and raised in India, the founders are passionate about cricket and are willing to connect with other sports fans at a broader level.
