Dream11 is the largest fantasy cricket platform in India, with the deepest contest pool and the most varied contest types. The mobile app is polished, withdrawals are processed within 2-24 hours, and the contest variety is unmatched.
Beginner rating: 4.4 / 5
My11Circle is built around peer-group play. You can create private contests with friends, set custom entry fees, and even play "second-chance" contests where you can pick up to two extra players. Withdrawals are the fastest of any leading app.
Beginner rating: 4.3 / 5
MPL offers the lowest entry fee on the market - ₹1 minimum contests - and the simplest KYC flow. The interface is gamified, which makes it appealing to casual players but can feel busy to seasoned fantasy players.
Beginner rating: 4.5 / 5
MyTeam11 sits in the middle of the pack on every metric, but is reliable across all of them. Withdrawals are consistent, contest variety is solid, and the KYC process is straightforward. A safe second-app choice for regular players.
