What the live data ticker shows you
The India Sports Fantasy live ticker shows real-time scores from across the three sports. Cricket scores update ball-by-ball within 8 seconds of the live broadcast. Kabaddi scores update raid-by-raid within 6 seconds. Football scores update on goals, assists, cards, and substitutions within 4 seconds. The ticker scrolls left-to-right with the live matches at the left edge and the upcoming matches at the right edge. The colour-coded status indicators (LIVE in rose, FT in lime, upcoming in ink) help you scan the ticker in under 3 seconds. The ticker auto-refreshes every 30 seconds without page reload.
The sparkline charts on the dashboard show 12-month rolling trends for any player metric you select. Batting strike-rate, bowling economy, raid success percentage, tackle success percentage, goals per 90 minutes, pass accuracy — every metric has a sparkline. The sparkline chart is 80px wide and 28px tall, designed to be scannable on mobile and desktop. The sparkline colour is electric orange (--electric-orange: #FF6B1A) on a midnight blue background (--midnight-900: #0B1437). The same colour system applies to the data-tile layout, the captain-pick cards, and the contest prize pool indicators.
The data-tile layout compresses the live data into a 4-column grid that fits on a 390px-wide mobile viewport without horizontal scrolling. Each data tile is a stat-card showing the player name, the metric, the current value, the sparkline, and a delta indicator. The delta indicator is green (+/- 5% threshold), yellow (+/- 10%), or red (+/- 20%). The data tile auto-refreshes every 60 seconds during match hours. Outside match hours, the data tile shows the last-match value with a subtle grey indicator. The data tile is the single most-viewed component on the platform — 84% of contest entries come from users who clicked a data tile first.

Get started →Why this matters for the Indian multi-sport fantasy ecosystem
The Indian multi-sport fantasy ecosystem sits at the intersection of three of the world's most-watched sports leagues — the Indian Premier League, the Pro Kabaddi League, and the Indian Super League. Cricket alone draws 600 million+ viewers per season; kabaddi draws 220 million+; the ISL draws 180 million+. The combined reach across the three leagues exceeds 800 million unique viewers, which makes India the largest single fantasy sports market in the world. India Sports Fantasy is built specifically for this multi-sport reality. The platform surfaces cricket, kabaddi, and football picks in a single lineup, a single dashboard, and a single captain-pick framework. The cross-sport captain-pick accuracy on India Sports Fantasy is 4.2% higher than single-sport captain picks because the diversification effect smooths the variance across sports. When cricket has a bad captain-pick day, kabaddi or football typically delivers. The cross-sport lineup is the highest-edge product on the platform.
The captain-pick model on India Sports Fantasy rebuilds from scratch every 6 hours using form data, venue reads, and contest context. The accuracy score is the most-trusted metric in the Indian fantasy industry — it tracks which captain picks actually win head-to-head contests at the highest rate. Players with accuracy above 70 are elite captains. Players with accuracy 60-70 are safe captains. Players with accuracy 40-60 are differential captains. Players with accuracy below 40 are contrarian captains. The UPI withdrawal system is the fastest in the Indian fantasy industry — median 7 minutes across 96 test requests in 2025-26. The KYC system is the most-streamlined — Aadhaar eKYC via DigiLocker completes in 4 minutes. The welcome bonus is the highest in the industry — 100% first-deposit match up to ₹10,000. The mobile app is free, fast, and supports UPI intent for instant deposits. The captain picks, the withdrawal speed, the bonus value, the KYC, and the multi-sport lineup all combine into the most-comprehensive fantasy product in India.
The India Sports Fantasy data engine runs on a 96-core GPU cluster with 1.4TB of RAM. Every fixture prediction takes 11.4 seconds to compute. The live captain-pick refresh runs every 60 seconds during match hours. The accuracy score is updated weekly. The platform handles 84,000+ fantasy contests settled per week. The cross-sport captain-pick accuracy is 72.6% — the highest in the Indian fantasy industry. The platform's IPL 2026 coverage includes 78 league-stage fixtures and 4 knockout matches. The PKL Season 12 coverage includes 132 league matches and 4 playoff matches. The ISL 2025-26 coverage includes 132 league matches and 4 knockout matches. The combined fixture calendar runs 365 days a year. The multi-sport lineup, the captain-pick model, the UPI withdrawal system, and the KYC system are the four pillars that make India Sports Fantasy the leading multi-sport fantasy platform in India. Sign up takes 11 minutes. First deposit unlocks ₹10,000 welcome bonus. First contest takes 5 minutes to build. First withdrawal via UPI takes 4-15 minutes.
