Fantasy Auction League

India's first offline, IPL-style cricket auction. Bid for your players, build your squad and, for one season, be a franchise owner.

Bid for your players. Build your squad. For one season, be a franchise owner.

The Fantasy Auction League is India’s first offline, IPL-style cricket auction. Ten franchises, each with its own owner, go head to head in a live auction room, bidding with credits for the real players turning out in that season’s IPL.

As those players perform in real matches, franchises earn points on a system built by our strategists. The auction is just the start: every week, each franchise picks a fresh playing XI, and the table updates after every match.

How it works.

10 Teams

Ten owners, one auction room

Ten franchises, each with its own owner, go head to head to build their squad.

Mock Auction

Run exactly like the real one

The format mirrors a real IPL auction. Credits stand in for cash, so the stakes feel real.

Same Players

One shared pool of real players

Every franchise bids from the same pool: the actual players turning out on the field that season.

Credit Points

Scored on real performance

As those players perform in real matches, franchises earn points on a system built by our strategists.

You don't have to manufacture the excitement. It already exists.

Your colleagues are already watching, arguing and picking sides. This points that energy at your company.

How the season actually unfolds.

  1. Step 1

    A team is built

    Departments and floors turn into franchises overnight, each with an owner group, a team name and a budget burning a hole in their pocket.

  2. Step 2

    Auction day

    Franchises bid live for real cricketers on the auction floor, budget in hand and the clock running.

  3. Step 3

    The season begins

    As real IPL matches are played, every franchise picks a fresh playing XI from their pool, every single week.

  4. Step 4

    Live standings, every match

    Points land as players perform. The table updates after every match, and a new weekly winner is crowned.

  5. Step 5

    Season finale

    At the closing awards ceremony every weekly winner gets their moment, and the overall champion is crowned in front of the company.

Your players perform. Your franchise scores.

Pick your XI, every single week. The auction is just the start. Every week, pick your XI from that week's real fixtures. Get it right, and the points follow.

Stop asking people to play. Ask them to own.

One bid, and they have skin in the game. Breakfast score-checks. Pantry arguments. Group-chat bragging rights. Sixty days of it, not one afternoon.

A 60+ day season

Engagement stops being a date on the calendar and becomes a daily habit.

Everybody plays

The skills that win are strategy, budget discipline and nerve. Anyone can bring those.

An identity

People stop attending an event and start belonging to a franchise.

Not a replacement. A different shape of engagement.
