Mobile cricket gaming just levelled up. **Hitwicket** has launched **Squad Rush**, its most ambitious multiplayer mode yet — a 4-player team experience built around strategy, coordination, and real-time social play. If you’ve ever wanted to grind milestones with your squad while trash-talking via voice chat, this one’s for you.

### How Squad Rush Works

Squad Rush builds on Hitwicket’s existing Co-Operative format but pushes it into entirely new territory. Four players form a single squad, each facing **five balls** before the strike rotates to the next teammate. Together, the squad shares a **pool of wickets** determined by overall squad strength — meaning every dismissal hurts the whole team, not just one player.

The squad must work through **7 progressively harder milestones**, each requiring a target number of runs off a set number of balls. Fail to clear a milestone or lose all shared wickets, and it’s game over.

What keeps everyone glued even while waiting for their turn? **Powerups**. Unlike standard Co-Op where all six powerups are chosen upfront and used once, Squad Rush **randomly assigns powerups** to each player — adding an element of surprise and adaptability. The real game-changer: powerups are **fully refilled after Milestone 5**, giving squads a fresh arsenal exactly when the pressure peaks.

[Cricket](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cricket) has always been a team sport at heart, and Squad Rush finally brings that same collective spirit to mobile gaming in a deeply engaging format.

### Real-Time Voice Chat — The Social Layer That Changes Everything

One of Squad Rush’s standout features is its **built-in voice chat**, letting teammates coordinate strategy, call out shots, and react in real time — making every session feel live and electric rather than isolated. Pre-defined **chat bubbles** add another layer of quick communication for those who prefer text.

Players can jump into a **private lobby** to play with friends or enter a **public lobby** to meet new players entirely — making Squad Rush both a squad bonding tool and a community discovery feature. New players can learn strategies from strangers, try special abilities from lineups they don’t own, and expand their Hitwicket game sense organically.
