New Delhi (India), September 1 (ANI/PNN): With tournaments such as the Asia Cup and ICC Men T20 World Cup, the long-awaited cricket season has finally arrived. According to the International Cricket Council’s (ICC) market research conducted in 2018, cricket is enjoyed by over one billion people worldwide, with the Indian subcontinent making up 90 percent of the fan base. The research enabled the ICC and its members to recognize the potential for cricket’s growth, to create a strategy for global expansion, and to track the results of their decisions.
The sight of cricket brings back fond memories for Indians – gathering with family and friends, munching on snacks and drinks, and watching the match on TV. Every time a batsman scored a century, everyone held their breath in anticipation. Every win was met with excitement, and every loss was felt by all. Cricket has an unparalleled power to captivate people.
Viewers often attempt to predict the next move or the fate of the ball – will it be a six or get caught? Some successfully guess the outcome, due to their intuition, trial and error, or simply knowledge of the game. Platforms such as Vikrant Exchange offer bonuses to those who put their luck and knowledge to the test.
