Official IPL team licenses from five major franchises bring authentic team experiences, complemented by new Hindi commentary voices, refined visuals, updated animations, and intuitive interfaces that recreate live stadium atmosphere on mobile.
Make-in-India Gaming Vision
Anuj Sahani, Head of KRAFTON India Incubator Program, emphasized that Real Cricket represents ambitious homegrown innovation KRAFTON wants to champion, proving Indian studios can build global-quality franchises. The integration reflects KRAFTON’s ₹200+ million investment in India’s gaming ecosystem since 2021 through KRAFTON India Gaming Incubator (KIGI) and flagship esports events.
Anuj Mankar, CEO of Nautilus Mobile, highlighted how KRAFTON’s support provides resources to think bigger and build bolder gaming experiences for millions.
