MUMBAI -- One of the biggest beneficiaries of India's recent enthusiasm for smartphone games has tapped into a more traditional passion in this country of 1.4 billion: cricket.
On fantasy sports platform Dream11, users compete by choosing rosters of real cricket players -- or athletes in other popular sports such as football -- earning points based on their performance in actual matches. Joining a contest costs less than $1, and players who do especially well can earn cash prizes.
