Talking about this successful run, Rajan Navani, Founder and CEO of, JetSynthesys said, “India is a cricket-loving nation, and the sport is ingrained in our culture. Leveraging this common emotion, we recognized the need to offer seamless and enhanced online cricket-playing experiences and the franchise’s potential in providing the same.

With this association, JetSynthesys solidified its status as the #1 skill-based cricket gaming franchise worldwide which is a testament to the platform’s latency.

With this, we plan to expand not only India and its neighbouring countries, but across all the cricket-playing nations including Australia, UK, USA, UAE and Africa. The last 10 years would not have been so gratifying, without the undying support and extensive talent of the team at Nautilus. We look forward to another decade of contributing qualitative content in our own way to the burgeoning mobile gaming ecosystem.”
