About the founder

Playing11 is a leading Indian cricket fantasy game, with an ever-expanding number of users and new and exciting games and contests being introduced on a daily basis. It is founded by 26-year-old Saurabh Jha from Delhi out of his sheer passion in the sport of cricket. Saurabh started playing cricket at a very young age and always dreamt of joining the Indian team, but due to two major leg injuries, he couldn’t pursue the game on a national level. But that did not hamper his spirit. In 2015, during the same time when he was recuperating from his injury, he first got to know about fantasy gaming. Saurabh dropped out of engineering during the last year of college but says that the knowledge he garnered was enough to help him develop this app. Staying connected with cricket in some way or the other was something he was determined of. So, he saw a lot of potential in the fantasy gaming business which was already gaining a lot of momentum. And after a lot of R&D and hard work, he finally launched Playing11 in March 2019.
