Why Dugout League

Fantasy cricket was built for strangers.
We built it for friends.

🔒

Exclusive Ownership

When you draft Virat Kohli, he's yours alone. Your friends can't have him. Every pick matters. Every decision counts.

🐍

Snake Draft Format

Take turns picking players in a fair snake order. No salary caps, no budget math — just pure cricket knowledge.

📅

Season-Long Competition

Not one match. The entire tournament. Your squad battles your friends' teams from opening day to final.

🏆

Bragging Rights

One champion at the end. Unlimited trash talk for the next 12 months. That's the real prize.

The Core Mechanic

Your pick.
Your player.
Their loss.

In salary-cap fantasy, everyone can pick the same players. Where's the rivalry in that? In Dugout League, when you draft a player, your friends can only watch him score for you.

"Remember when you passed on Kohli in round 2? I do. Every single day."

The Usual Suspects

Real users. Questionable opinions.

V
Vishnu
Professional Trash Talker
"My team is STACKED this season. Absolutely stacked. Sure, I'm in 6th place right now, but that's because the scoring system is broken. Also I didn't know Bumrah was injured. Also what's a wicket?"
Talks the most. Knows the least. Has strong opinions about players he's never watched. Currently googling "how many players in cricket team" while telling you your picks are trash.
G
Gokul
The Guy Who Gets People™
"I've added 250 people to this app. Do I get a commission? No. But watching them all fight each other? Worth it."
Has personally onboarded half the user base. Treats friend recruitment like a startup KPI.
N
Nehal
Chief Dispute Officer
"The trade got REJECTED? On what grounds? I demand a recount. This is rigged. I have NOTES."
Has never agreed with a single ruling. Screenshots everything "for evidence."
S
Suraj
Accidental Genius
"Wait, the draft was today? I just picked whoever was at the top of the list. Who's Natalie Sciver-Brunt? She any good? Oh, she's my captain? Cool cool cool. Anyway, see you at the finals I guess."
Zero research. Zero strategy. Drafted during a work call while muted. Still somehow wins. The universe bends to his luck.
A
Aneesha
Perpetual Runner-Up
"This is MY year. I've done the analysis. I've got the spreadsheets. The fact that I came 3rd last time means NOTHING."
Confidence level: 11/10. Trophy count: still updating. Her time will come. Probably.
R
Ruthviq
Content Creator, Point Collector (Negative)
"Okay hear me out — what if we had a fantasy league for umpire decisions? I have IDEAS."
The group chat comedian. Meme output: elite. Fantasy points: not elite.
T
Tangi
High Risk, Occasionally High Reward
"Everyone laughed when I drafted three uncapped players. But the third one? A regular for India now. I am a VISIONARY."
The cricket expert who treats the draft like a hedge fund. 60% uncapped players, 40% anxiety.
