Jonty’s Impact Player Rant: The diminishing value of all-rounders in IPL

The Indian Premier League took a different route in 2022 when the league’s stakeholders decided to introduce the ‘Impact Player’ rule in the cash-rich league, allowing all 10 franchises to field 12 players in each game instead of 11 players.

At that time, it was argued that the rule would bring in more opportunities for the fringe players and would unlock a new strategic side to the game of cricket, and thus add an extra enticing flavor for the watching fans as well.

Jonty Rhodes stresses on the value of all-rounders

The Impact Player rule has had its positives over the years, with a few more players getting a chance to impress their team management and the fans alike. But, since the advent of the Impact Player rule, we have seen more focus on players with specialized skills, while all-rounders have been pushed into the background.

While some all-rounders have been able to retain their places in the playing squad, their contribution has been limited to their stronger skill, thus not even allowing them a chance to sharpen their second skill, as the franchise is not benefitting from their secondary skills in that season or in that phase, which could define the franchise’s IPL season.

All-rounders like Washington Sundar and Shivam Dube, who have been regulars of the Indian T20I setup, have been either ignored by their franchises in terms of playing squad selection or have been limited to their primary skills, as Dube has only been seen batting for CSK, while their main five bowlers and one impact player complete the job with the ball in hand.

If a team already has six to seven specialized batters and they also have an option to bring in another batter as an Impact Player if the top order collapses or the middle order fails to do their job in the crucial overs, no franchise or team would even invest in the batting skills of their bowling all-rounders and their secondary skills will continue to get ignored by the national team as well.

Being an all-rounder used to be a very valuable skill, and its importance only grew with the surge in popularity of the T20 format but a rule which allows a certain batter to be replaced by a certain bowler, or vice-versa mid-game would definitely hurt the stocks of all-rounders who are trying to find a footing or are trying to better their overall game in all aspects.

Another negative impact of the ‘Impact Player’ rule is the artificial inflation of scores, as the teams batting first often go for the big hits from the first ball, citing the availability of an extra batter if needed in the middle overs or the death overs. Even the former T20 World Cup-winning captain for India, Rohit Sharma, has previously expressed his thoughts along similar lines, and these rules end up negatively impacting the national team’s T20 setup in the long run.

Also, certain batters who are already spending hours in nets practising their strokes will be encouraged to spend even lesser time focusing on their fielding, as they know that they will be replaced by the team once their batting contribution is done, and a certain bowler will be brought into the game in his place.

Eoin Morgan praises the tactical loophole of the 12th Man

I have heard many people criticise the ‘Impact Player’ rule as it artificially inflates the team’s scores, but I feel that even if that’s happening, the score is getting inflated for both teams. So, if 160-170 is the average expected score, it would go up to 220 or 240 for both sides, offering more entertainment to the fans, and making the previously unachievable targets more realistic for the chasing team.

The presence of the ‘Impact Player’ rule also offers tactical flexibility, as we have seen in other sports when a certain player gets off the bench and impacts the game for their team. Similarly, a player that was not in the main playing XI could come into a situation he specialcises for and change the game by providing a favorable matchup for their side.

Over the last few years, many cricketing pundits, including me, have been vouching for a more balanced fight between bat and ball, and this rule allows a certain bowler to come into the game after the team management has witnessed or assessed that a specific kind of bowler could provide them with an added advantage to restrict the opposition batters.

I feel that for such a rule to be used internationally or in ICC tournaments like the World Cup, we might need two Impact Player substitutes to be allowed for both teams, which could start a cat-and-mouse game between the coaches of the two teams, further emphasising the importance of data-backed moves in the modern game.

Previously, teams that were stacked with all-rounders were easily the favorites but tactically savvy oppositions have now turned the game on its head by using the ‘Impact Player’ rule wisely to their advantage, thus neutralizing the benefit of having more all-rounders on the opposition side.

Eoin Morgan joins Parimatch as its Chief Cricket Analyst

From Jugaad Timepass to Daily Habit

For most urban and semi-urban Indians, gaming skipped the expensive console-PC era and went straight to pocket screens. Mobile-first internet adoption meant the “gamer” was no longer a niche stereotype, but anyone with a smartphone and a prepaid data pack. What began as a quick “timepass” with endless runners and puzzles during commutes or lunch breaks has evolved into entertaining sessions of battle royales, card games, and digital Ludo rooms that double up as hangout spaces.​
 

Lockdowns accelerated this shift. Casual titles like Ludo King, Zupee Ludo Supreme, Carrom Ninja on Zupee & Building Blocks turned into family entertainment, bringing grandparents, cousins and college friends into a single room-code, normalising gaming as a mainstream entertainment alternative rather than a guilty pleasure. Even after restrictions eased, those who started playing during the pandemic continued, cementing gaming as a fun activity across age groups.​
 

India’s F2P Explosion

India today is the world’s largest mobile gaming market by downloads, clocking around 8.45 billion installs in FY 2024-25 as free-to-play titles flood app stores. The country now hosts roughly 550-600 million casual gamers, with more than 90% on mobile, reflecting how deeply F2P has penetrated daily life. Low-cost mobile data (among the cheapest per GB globally) and affordable Android handsets have removed the hardware and bandwidth barriers that traditionally gated gaming.​
 

How F2P Became Social Currency

In a country where hanging out often means negotiating distance, traffic, and budgets, free-to-play multiplayer games provide a ready-made, zero-cover-charge social venue. Battle royales like BGMI and Free Fire, casual staples like Ludo King, Zupee Ludo Supreme, and multiplayer card games like Teen Patti have become places to meet, talk, roast, collaborate and spectate together.
 

The mainstreaming of free-to-play gaming in India is not just about downloads; it is about cultural fit. Titles that digitise traditional Indian games Ludo, Carrom, Teen Patti have thrived because they combine nostalgia with modern multiplayer and chat features. Zupee ranking 2nd in Top Free Board Games on Google Play and 7th in Top Free Games on the Apple App Store show how a familiar board on a small screen can suddenly bridge generations, states, and social classes.
 

From Free to Valuable: The New Economy of Play

Despite an enduring preference for free entry, India’s gaming economy is maturing. Digital gaming revenues have been growing in double digits year-on-year, and the overall sector is projected to more than double to around 4.3 billion dollars by FY 2030. Battle royale games now command a large chunk of revenues, while simulation and puzzle genres dominate downloads, showing a split between what is most played and what is most paid for.​
 

In less than a decade, India’s free-to-play games have travelled from background “timepass” to foreground marker of who people talk to, what they value, and how they show up in the world. In a mobile-first nation where attention and connection are precious, play itself has become a powerful, everyday currency.

Glass Jar Interactive
 

The investment reflects growing investor interest in video game studios as technology enablers within the broader entertainment ecosystem, alongside segments such as VFX, AR/VR, and digital production. With the rapid expansion of OTT platforms reshaping home entertainment consumption, video games are increasingly becoming a central component of the ecosystem, with the potential to extend beyond standalone products into films, series, comics, and merchandise, creating long-term, multi-format IP value.
 

Commenting on the investment, Vinayak Nath, Managing Director, UP Angel Network, said, “With the rapid growth of OTT platforms, home entertainment has seen a structural shift, and video games are becoming a core part of that ecosystem. Games today are not just standalone products; they have the potential to extend into films, series, comics, and merchandise, creating long-term, multi-format IP value.”
 

He added that UPAN has partnered with BSIS (Bharat Startup and Innovation Society), India’s largest startup ecosystem industry association, to support investments and knowledge-building programmes for startups and investors. The investment aligns with BSIS’ USD 100 million pledged fund corpus for startups, of which UP Angel Network is a participating partner.
 

It is also noteworthy to mention that Glass Jar Interactive was recently in the news for securing government-backed grant support and joining the CREATE Incubation Centre at the Indian Institute of Information Technology (IIIT) Lucknow. The startup is recognised under the Startup India initiative by the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT). The financial terms of the government grant were not disclosed.
 

CREATE (Confederation for Research, Entrepreneurship & Technology Enablement) is the incubation and entrepreneurship centre of IIIT Lucknow and is recognised by the Government of Uttar Pradesh under its StartInUP framework. The centre provides startups with access to structured mentorship, academic and technical resources, and linkages to state and national startup programmes.
 

“Building games from India for a global audience requires patience, creative freedom, and the right institutional support. Being part of CREATE at IIIT Lucknow gives us the space to experiment, learn, and focus on creating original IP without losing sight of global quality and long-term impact. The Rs. 2.3 crore seed funding from UP Angel Network further strengthens our ability to scale our vision and invest in long-term IP creation. Ghatika is Glass Jar Interactive’s debut original IP, a narrative-driven action-adventure game currently in production. Set in a fantasy world, the game follows the downfall of an empire, with players leading a group of survivors and uncovering the secrets of their people,” said Raunaq Kavalu, Co-founder and Director, Glass Jar Interactive.
 

IIIT Lucknow is a government-backed technical institution, and through CREATE it supports incubated startups via incubation programmes, workshops, seminars, and industry interactions aimed at accelerating early-stage innovation and entrepreneurship.
 

Glass Jar Interactive operates as a video game and entertainment studio focused on original IP-driven game development for PC and console platforms, with an emphasis on interactive storytelling and gameplay-centric experiences. The studio aims to create globally competitive yet culturally grounded interactive experiences from India.
 

The development comes amid a broader push by the Government of India to strengthen the domestic gaming and media ecosystem. India’s media and entertainment sector is projected to cross $100 billion by 2030, with gaming expected to be a key growth driver.

Why Free-to-Play Games Are India’s New Tea-Break Entertainment

Platforms such as Zupee, Ludo King, Candy Crush, Subway Surfers, and Nostra-style mini-games now compete directly with social media scrolling during chai and office breaks.

The Rise of Micro-Session Gaming
India’s casual gaming boom thrives on short bursts of play that slot neatly into tea breaks, commutes, and queues. More than 70–75% of gaming sessions last just two to six minutes, mirroring the nation’s preference for bite-sized content such as Reels or quick chai chats. With affordable data and over 659 million smartphones, these games are accessible everywhere  from office pantries to small-town homes.

Free-to-Play Games Fit Short-Session Play
Most F2P titles are designed for quick, satisfying interactions. Games built for short bursts  like Ludo matches, puzzle rounds, quick cricket overs, or simple strategy duels  fit naturally between everyday activities. These “bite-sized” gaming sessions are ideal for breaks, meaning players don’t need to commit hours at a time.

For instance, Zupee’s free titles such as Ludo Supreme,  Carrom Ninja, Snakes & Ladders plus, and Trump Cards Mania are designed for short, competitive rounds that can be completed in minutes and played casually throughout the day  perfect for tea-time entertainment.

Familiar, Social, and Competitive
Games that echo classic Indian pastimes board and card games that many grew up with  have immense built-in appeal. Digitally reimagined classics like Ludo, played socially with friends or strangers online, bring both nostalgia and quick fun. Platforms such as Zupee have tapped into this cultural familiarity, helping their games become fixtures in daily entertainment.

Zupee’s Ludo revives the Mughal-era game Pachisi for Gen Z, while hyper-casual titles like stack-ball games add swipe-based excitement for players seeking instant gratification.

Low Barrier, High Engagement
The free-to-play model removes barriers to entry  no download fees, no upfront paywalls making games instantly accessible. Even when titles include in-app purchases or advertisements, the core gameplay remains free, encouraging casual “drop in, drop out” patterns that suit India’s short-break habits.

F2P Games Are Now Everyday Rituals
Whether it’s a quick round of digital Ludo during an office break, a fast cricket mini-game between chores, or a few puzzle levels queued up while waiting for tea to brew, free-to-play games have seamlessly embedded themselves into tiny pockets of time in everyday Indian life. In fact, for many players, a Ludo download is the first step into this growing ecosystem of bite-sized mobile games.

Their success lies in their simplicity, accessibility, cultural resonance, and a mobile-first audience eager for instant entertainment making F2P gaming India’s new tea-break ritual.

PUNO Advance Pune's newly launched Social Zone

Built in response to Pune’s evolving lifestyle and its audiences’ appetite for elevated, repeat-worthy experiences, the Social Zone consolidates immersive gaming, competitive play, and hospitality-led social spaces under one roof. The launch positions Pune alongside global cities where social entertainment extends beyond bars and cinemas into high-energy, activity-driven “third spaces.”

About the Social Zone
 The Social Zone at PUNO Advance Pune is a large-scale competitive socialising destination anchored by Pune’s largest bowling facility, combining immersive shooting simulations, archery, dart lanes, superkixx, pooltables, Cube Chase, and integrated food, beverage, and lounge spaces within a single urban entertainment format.

At its core are eight full length bowling lanes, purpose-built for group play, leagues, and corporate outings—supporting longer evenings, higher engagement, and repeat visits. Surrounding attractions are curated to balance fun, connection, and social interaction, enabling guests to move seamlessly between activities and lounge experiences.

The destination is complemented by top-notch dining, crafted beverages, and comfortable social zones designed to encourage interaction and enjoyment-based dwell time. From hangout plans to mid-week meetups and team offsites to birthdays and high-energy weekends, the Social Zone adapts to multiple social occasions while maintaining a consistent premium experience.

Designed with groups in mind, the Social Zone at PUNO Advance is an ideal destination for corporate outings, offering a seamless blend of competitive team-based activities, premium bowling lanes, and hospitality-led social spaces. The format encourages collaboration, friendly competition, and informal networking, making it well-suited for team offsites, celebrations, and employee engagement experiences that extend beyond the boardroom.

“Our inspiration came from observing how social entertainment has evolved globally,” said Pankkaj Agarwal, Founder and CEO, PUNO. “During my recent travels to the U.S., what stood out was not a single venue but a pattern—spaces where competition, conversation, food, and comfort coexist effortlessly. We saw an opportunity to create India’s own version of that experience, without waiting. The Social Zone is our response: a place where vibe meets experience, and where people come together to play, connect, and celebrate.”

He added, “This launch reflects three clear drivers—personal learning that resets expectations, leadership that gives teams a bold idea to rally around, and a market that is ready for experiences that drive repeat visits and longer dwell time. When you observe what people are choosing, identify what’s missing, and move quickly, you don’t just build a business—you expand a community.”

Zupee Ludo - A Childhood Classic, Reimagined for Speed

India’s most familiar board game has found new life in rapid, competitive formats on Zupee. Unlike traditional Ludo games that can drag on endlessly, Zupee’s skill-based versions are designed for quick outcomes and fast decision-making, making each match feel intense yet compact.
 

Ludo King Quick Mode

Ludo King's Quick Mode starts with tokens out, requiring one kill and home run to win in 5 minutes max. Tops India charts with over 1 billion downloads and simple, addictive play.
 

Carrom

A rapid-fire digital carrom duel where two players pocket tokens within limited moves; precision, shot selection, and timing drive scoring, keeping games under a few minutes and emphasizing skill. Zupee Carrom Ninja reimagines it with point-pocketing races against timers, emphasizing skill in short free rounds.
 

Snakes & Ladders

One of the simplest childhood favorites, Snakes & Ladders has evolved into colourful, animated app versions with creative themes and online multiplayer. It remains a symbol of destiny versus strategy and a perfect family pick. Zupee Snakes and Ladders Plus adds token-cutting mechanics and 12-second turns for intense free online matches. A faster, points-based take on classic snakes & ladders where each forward move adds points, cutting an opponent’s token gives bonus points, and reaching the 100th square yields extra rewards, with short, high-intensity matches.
 

Hand Cricket

Hand cricket has always been a nostalgic playground classic, and Zupee Super Over brings that same thrill to the digital world in a sharp, competitive format. In this online hand cricket multiplayer game, two players face off in a super-over style contest, choosing numbers between 1 and 6 to score runs or take wickets in just a few balls. With short, high-intensity matches designed for mobile, Zupee Super Over lets users relive the fun of hand cricket anytime, blending quick decision-making, strategy, and pure cricket excitement in a free-to-play experience.
 

From reimagined classics like Ludo, Carrom, and Hand Cricket, India’s gaming culture is clearly evolving toward instant, gratifying play. As attention spans shrink and on-the-go entertainment becomes the norm, “snackable gaming” is redefining how millions unwind, compete, and connect digitally. In just a few minutes a day, these bite-sized experiences are reshaping what fun means in the mobile-first era - quick, skillful, and always within reach.

Today, India is home to an estimated 550–600 million casual gamers, making it one of the world’s largest and fastest-growing gaming ecosystems. Analysts project that by 2030, this category could become an USD 8–10 billion opportunity, redefining how India spends its digital time.

Across leading platforms, 2–6 minute “micro sessions” dominate gameplay, accounting for roughly 70–75% of all sessions as users squeeze in games between daily tasks. This behaviour mirrors India’s larger short-form content consumption trend, where mobile-led, snackable engagement has become default for Gen Z and beyond.

Short, timed formats in games such as Ludo, cricket mini-games, word puzzles, and arcade titles work because they deliver quick emotional payoffs without demanding prolonged focus. For product teams, this makes tight game loops, fast matchmaking, and low-friction re-entry non-negotiable design priorities.

Nostalgia as a Growth Engine

Traditional board games—Ludo, Carrom, Snakes & Ladders, and Tambola—now account for more than half of all casual gaming time.  Gaming platform like Zupee Ludo alone has surpassed 60 million downloads in India. For millions of players, these titles are digital extensions of childhood memories and family traditions.

Nostalgia also acts as a powerful retention engine: culturally rooted games show 20–25% higher long-term retention than modern casual formats, as users return for the comfort, familiarity, and social bragging rights they evoke. Platforms with deep classic catalogues and fresh twists on Ludo or Carrom continue to post strong repeat engagement. Despite global influences, India’s gaming preferences remain deeply anchored in cultural familiarity.

Bharat-Led Expansion and Price Sensitivity

Falling smartphone prices (average ASP now USD 210) and some of the world’s cheapest mobile data have made gaming truly mass-market. Tier-2, Tier-3, and rural regions contribute nearly 70% of new user additions, underscoring Bharat’s central role in driving growth.

Indian gamers are intensely price-sensitive: over 90% prefer free-to-play titles, cementing the F2P model as the default standard. Monetisation, therefore, depends on scale, optional in-app spends, and—in some segments—competitive or skill-based layers rather than upfront purchases.

Rise of Skill-Led Formats

Engagement with skill-based casual formats—where outcomes rely on timing, strategy, and decision-making is growing rapidly, at 30–40% annually across the broader gaming market. Timed battles, quick duels, and competitive puzzles offer players a sense of “controlled challenge,” balancing accessibility with agency.

Gaming as a Social Ritual

Casual gaming has also become a weekly social ritual. Surveys reveal that more than half of Indian gamers play with friends or family at least once a week, often gathering in digital Ludo or Carrom rooms. Voice chats, private lobbies, and family groups have turned these games into social spaces, becoming part of weekend or festival routines—well beyond the lure of monetary rewards.

Designed for Bharat Hardware

A large share of Indian smartphones still fall in the 3–4 GB RAM category with limited storage, making lightweight, sub-100 MB titles the dominant choice. Games that run smoothly on patchy networks and older devices consistently outperform heavy builds. Optimisation, therefore, is not just good tech hygiene it’s a growth strategy.

Peak Playtime Patterns

India’s playtime curve is unique. Beyond the typical 8–11 pm prime-time spike, there is a noticeable 2–5 pm surge, driven by office-goers, students, gig workers, and homemakers using short breaks for quick sessions. For marketers and product teams, these twin peaks create powerful time windows for notifications, tournaments, topical content drops, and high-impact advertising.

A Self-Contained Mobile Ecosystem

Estimates suggest India now has 500–550 million gamers and is on track to surpass 700 million by the end of the decade, with mobile casual titles at the core of this growth. Analysts expect the wider gaming and interactive media market to triple to USD 7–8 billion by FY30, with casual play as a leading contributor.

Unlike Western markets, where casual gaming often funnels players into console or mid-core experiences, India’s gaming ecosystem is self-contained, mobile-first, and culturally grounded. Apps such as Ludo King and other free-to-play titles have soared by designing for low-spec hardware and Bharat’s gameplay preferences.

The Zupee Experience: Skill, Speed, and Strategy

Today, Zupee’s game portfolio stands as a testament to accessible entertainment for all. The heart of the offering revolves around fast-paced, competitive classics reinvented for mobile and digital play. Ludo Supreme, Ludo Turbo, and Ludo Supreme League headline the free-to-play range, bringing nostalgic board games to life with strategic enhancements. In these Ludo variants, tokens are active from the start, allowing immediate gameplay - no more waiting for a lucky six. Matches are short, lively, and require planning and swift decision-making, appealing to casual gamers as well as competitive souls.

Snakes & Ladders Plus offers another crowd-pleaser, transforming a familiar pastime into a points-based race with a smart scoring system. Fans of quick-thinking games will appreciate Trump Cards Mania, which fuses cricket statistics with classic card game mechanics. Here, sports knowledge and tactical choices pave the way to victory. And for those who prefer hand-eye coordination challenges, Carrom Ninja delivers a digital spin on carrom, with tweaks like numbered tokens and penalty-free play to keep the action swift and engaging.

Notably, all Zupee titles are inclusive of skill. Each game is designed to reward planning, strategy, and foresight, keeping matches lively, fair, and genuinely competitive - a factor that has been instrumental in aligning with the new regulatory landscape.

Accessibility and User Experience

The free entry has opened the digital doors for millions. Zupee’s games are free to download and play on both Android and iOS platforms, with select titles also available on web browsers. Anyone with a smartphone can participate, making Zupee’s games perfect for gaming during commutes, coffee breaks, or unwinding after work.

Zupee ensures that games are lightning-fast, with most matches wrapping up in just 5-10 minutes. The design focus is on real user-versus-user competition, with no bots - only direct, fair play. To make the platform welcoming to all, the games are available in multiple Indian languages and maintain a simple, intuitive interface to ease new users into the experience seamlessly.

Summing Up

Zupee’s transformation to a champion of free, online social gaming platform marks a pivotal moment in India’s digital culture. For gamers, it means all thrill and no risk - a platform where anyone can join, compete, and unwind, absolutely free. As the company continues to innovate through fresh game releases, in the spirit of fan-favourite casual games such as Ludo King, Zupee reinforces a powerful message: in 2025, entertainment belongs to everyone, and in Zupee’s universe, free play is the new normal.

Raju Chekuri, a Silicon Valley entrepreneur and investor, founded Netenrich, a security and digital operations company, where he serves as Chairman and CEO

Chekuri, the Founder, Chairman and CEO of the California-based Netenrich, brings his trademark execution-first philosophy to this new play. “People talk too much about vision,” he said in an interview. “But the key is staying in the game; being resilient, making good decisions every day. That’s true for business and for sport.”

Goa Guardians owner Raju Chekuri sharing a moment with energized fans at PVL 2025 in Hyderabad

The Goa Guardians are his latest experiment in staying in the game. Co-owned by Indian cricketer KL Rahul, the team debuted this October with a plan to nurture volleyball talent across the Konkan and coastal belt. “Volleyball is one of the most athletic, non-contact sports. If done well, it’s exhilarating,” said Chekuri. “We have some amazing talent. If we treat players as crown jewels, we’ll do well.”

In their maiden season, the Goa Guardians reached the semi-finals of the Prime Volleyball League, marking an impressive debut. “I think we are a pretty mature team, a very strong team,” Chekuri said after the campaign. “We made a couple of mistakes early in the game, but the players showed up and played through. Some of our early matches went to five sets, and that showed our resilience.”

The idea for Goa Guardians took shape while he was spending time in the coastal state, having invested in a local media outfit, the Department of Lore, promoted by filmmakers Anand Gandhi and game designer Zain Memon. “Goa has a spirit like no other; energy, culture, festivity. People around the world know Goa. It’s the perfect base for something new-age like volleyball," he said.

But Chekuri’s ambitions extend beyond a single franchise. Through Chekuri Sports Ventures, he plans to create a fund focused on sports infrastructure, grassroots training and media innovation. “It’s more emotional than strategic,” he admitted. “I’ve been away for 40 years. Now it’s time to come back and invest in India.”

Chekuri’s own journey traces back to the alleys of old Ahmedabad, where he first picked up a volleyball in school under the watch of coach Varshambhai. He went on to represent Kakatiya University at the South Zone Championships, captaining teams and even earning a call-up for India before academics took over. “There were no leagues then,” he recalled. “The only dream was to play for the country. No money, just pure love for the sport.”

His return through the PVL, he says, is an attempt to give today’s athletes the professional stage he never had. “Until 10 or 11, kids should play whatever they like. But from 12 onwards, that’s when you can shape them. If we can support that age group, we’ll not only produce athletes but stronger human beings.”

Looking ahead, Chekuri says his goal is to turn Goa into a volleyball powerhouse over time. “We love volleyball and we’re invested in the grassroots,” he said. “Winning a couple of tournaments will be great, but what really matters is building a culture that makes Goa India’s favourite team. We want to give our fans every reason to cheer for us.”

Mr. Anil Kumar, Mr. Bijender Goel and Mrs. Sneha Venkataramani at the conclusion of the 2nd National Modern Pythian Games, Bengaluru

The revival of the Pythian Games in India is led by Mr. Bijender Goel, Founder of International Pythian Games who has been working to place art and sport on a national and global platform. Speaking at the closing ceremony, he referred to the Bengaluru edition as a step in India’s larger cultural pathway. “The Pythian movement is about creating bridges, not boundaries,” he said. He also mentioned the Youth Pythian Games planned for 2026 in collaboration with Russia, and India’s hosting of the first International Pythian Games in 2027.

One of the highlights this year was the introduction of a national-level Pittu (Seven Stones) competition, a childhood street game that many in the audience recognized instantly. The energy around the arena shifted; people cheered in a way that was spontaneous and familiar.

In the boys’ category, Madhya Pradesh secured Gold, Madhya Pradesh also earned Silver, and Odisha claimed Bronze.

In the girls’ category, Madhya Pradesh again took Gold, with Odisha receiving Silver and Rajasthan taking Bronze.

In the girls’ category of the National-level Pittu (Seven Stones) competition, Madhya Pradesh once again clinched the Gold medal

At one point, even Mr. Bijender Goel, Mrs. Lalitha Goel, Shri B. H. Anil Kumar (Chairperson) and Mrs. Sneha Venkataramani (Organising Secretary) joined in briefly to try their hand at striking the stone pile. The moment drew laughter and applause from the sidelines — a reminder that cultural memory lives not only in stage art, but in simple games once played in school courtyards and narrow streets.

The final day saw performances and recognitions across categories.

In the Junior Group Dance category, Laya Dhwani Academy from Karnataka secured the Gold medal.

In the Sub-Junior Dance Solo section, Pavika Kumar (Delhi) won Gold, marking her third straight victory at the National Pythian Games. Maya Krishna (Karnataka) received Silver, while Nikitha S and Tashya B.K (both from Karnataka) shared Bronze.

In the Junior Group Dance category, Laya Dhwani Academy (Karnataka) earned Gold, Sheffield Stars (Uttarakhand) took Silver, and the Harshit Naik Group (Karnataka) won Bronze. The stage saw a mix of Bharatanatyam, Kuchipudi, Coorgi traditional dance and folk pieces from Uttarakhand. Each performance carried the particular pace and character of the region it represented, which kept the audience attentive through the day.

In the Sambo wrestling competitions, in the boys (18-20yrs) 71 kg category, B Sri Kali Saran from Tamil Nadu bagged the Gold medal while A M Omkar from Karnataka bagged the silver medal. In the boys (under 24) 58kg, R Balaji Naik from Andhra Pradesh won the gold medal and Kishore Kumar from Tamil Nadu won the silver medal. In the girls (14-16yrs) 44 kg category, P Sri Dharanisha from TN won the gold medal and S. Sana from AP won the silver medal. In the girls (8-9yrs) 34kg category, S Nithila and A Riya Sri from TN bagged the gold and silver respectively.

Mr. B.H. Anil Kumar, Retired IAS officer said, “As we conclude the Second National Cultural Pythian Games, I extend my heartfelt appreciation to every participant, artist and organiser. Over these days, we have witnessed India’s cultural brilliance in its purest form. May this spirit of creativity, unity and excellence continue to inspire us long after the Games end."

Mr. Gunaranjan Shetty, President of the Karnataka Wrestling Association, attended the closing ceremony and congratulated the participants. He spoke briefly about Karnataka’s long tradition of supporting artistic and athletic talent in equal measure.

The festival was coordinated by a team led by Shri B. H. Anil Kumar, Retired IAS (Chairperson), Mr. Shantanu Agrahari, IAS (President, PCI), Mrs. Sneha Venkataramani (Organising Secretary) and Mr. S. Siva Kumar (Secretary General). Their work ensured that schedules ran on time and that artists and visitors had the support they needed across the venue.
As the event concludes, Bengaluru adds another chapter to its identity as a city where older cultural forms and contemporary expression continue to meet. The Pythian Games leave behind a quiet but clear message: traditions stay alive when they are shared, practiced and passed to younger hands.

Modernizing the Classics for Indian Audiences

At the heart of Zupee’s transformation lies a bold ambition: to take ageless board games like Ludo, Carrom, and Snakes & Ladders and reimagine them for a new era. The result is a slate of games that stay true to their original rules while infusing each match with speed, excitement, and smart twists. Gone are the slow hours and passive play. On Zupee, every match is strategic, social, and tailor-made for India’s quick breaks, office downtime, and fast-moving routines.

The matches are lightning-quick, with most wrapping up in 5-10 minutes, adjustable game formats let users pick their preferred level of challenge, and the points system transforms classic gameplay into a contest of wit and reflexes.

New Board Game Modes

Traditional board games might have hinged on chance, but Zupee’s digital versions put planning, and tactics front and center. In every match, victory comes down to making the smartest move, anticipating your opponent’s strategy, and maximizing points within limited moves or time:

• Ludo Supreme invites players to score as many points as possible in a time-limited match, with each move and capture counting for points.

• Ludo Turbo offers a set number of moves, making efficient play essential for victory.

• Ludo Supreme League transforms gameplay into a leaderboard competition, encouraging long-term engagement and strategic mastery.

Tez Rummy

Read on to know which intertwined forces explain why rummy continues to rule Indian hearts:

Heritage, Festivals & the Comfort of Familiar Cards
Long before smartphones, rummy was a festival staple, played during Diwali nights, harvest celebrations, and wedding downtime. The rules are simple and strategic enough, making it a rare multi-generational pastime. Mobile versions merely digitized an old ritual. As the popularity of online rummy platforms surged, many praised the familiar gameplay that came with modern twists.

Enhanced Accessibility
India is home to over 50 million online rummy enthusiasts, a majority of whom play daily. Low-cost data and smartphones mean fans are never more than a tap away from a Points, Pool or Deals table. Commuters squeeze in quick rummy games during metro rides; night owls enter long-format leagues; and rural users, whose smartphone adoption has risen dramatically over the last decade, log in from villages once cut off from digital entertainment. In a time-strapped society, rummy’s bite-sized game loops dovetail perfectly with modern schedules.

Online rummy platforms like Tez Rummy, which recently adopted an India-first approach, transforming from its '.com' domain to ‘.in’ domain, are revolutionizing how Indians experience rummy online. With intuitive design, instant withdrawals and real-player matchups, Tez Rummy is setting new benchmarks in the online skill-based gaming space.

Real Skills, Real Rewards
Real money gaming has transformed a parlour game into an esports-like spectacle. The nominal entry fees and substantial prize pools ensure that users are fairly rewarded for their rummy skills. The excitement spills outside apps: several celebrities acknowledge the allure of rummy and leverage their fan base to promote online skill-based gaming. As a result, rummy now inherits the aspirational glamour once reserved for cricket leagues and quiz shows.

Conclusion
Rummy thrives in India because it sits at the crossroads of tradition and technology, legality and livelihood, community and competition. A game once shuffled under mango trees now reaches crores through 5G towers, yet its essence - skillful sequencing, tactical foresight - remains intact. As tournaments scale toward million-player marathons and the online skill-based gaming economy continues to grow, one truth endures: Indians love games that combine mental dexterity with the cccwarmth of familiarity. Rummy deals both, hand after winning hand.

Line up three matching symbols—be it gold watches, blinged-out spades, or crystal clubs—and you’re in the money. But the real heat? That comes from the four bonus features that can trigger any time during a regular spin.

1. Respin—Spin Again, Win Again

Two reels drop the same symbol or Wild? The third reel gets a free respin—giving you a second shot at stacking a winning line.

Example: Two divine chain symbols land. The third reel spins again. Chain hits? You cash in. Straight like that.

2. Multiplier—Full Screen, Full Flex

When all three reels are filled with the same symbol or Wilds, get ready—Multiplier Feature kicks in! Multipliers up to ×10 float across the screen, and one lucky boost drops on your win.

Hit a full screen of gold watches, and land a ×5 multiplier? That’s five times the cash, in one hit.

3. Money Gun—Wild Wins up to ×10,000

Super Money Gun symbols come in hot—no need for paylines. Just land 2 or more anywhere on the reels for surprise multipliers:

• 2 Guns: Win between ×2 and ×10,000

• 3 Guns (anywhere): Win between ×100 and ×10,000

• 3 Guns in a row? You’re in ×1,000 to ×10,000 territory

It’s like stepping on stage and the crowd goes wild—just one hit, and you cash out.

4. Cash Spins—Stack That Bankroll

Land a Money Bag dead center on reel 2, and boom—Cash Spins are triggered. Now it’s all about collecting Bankrolls to keep the spins alive.

Fill every slot with bankrolls, and you restart the round—more spins, more shine, more action!

Ready for Divine Spins?

This ain’t just a slot—it’s a celebration of hustle, heart, and heavy wins. Try Divine Spin City now, exclusively on Parimatch. Four bonus modes. Multiplier mayhem. Cash drops up to 10,000× your stake. From the gully streets to mega beats—this is your moment!

Elvish Yadav and His Parimatch Squad Buddies Make the Game Real

The Parimatch Squad, a powerhouse crew of influencers, streamers, and trendsetters, returns with a twist: this time, they’re not just playing offline but going head-to-head in a custom-built arena filled with unexpected challenges, unique games, and big wins.

The squad consists of digital icons like Elvish Yadav, Nazim Ahmed, Wasim Ahmad from Round2hell, and others. They all step out of their usual content zones to compete in offline versions of hit games like JetX, Coin Train, Fruit Box, and more.

Picture This…

The elite crew of influencers diving into a full-blown Balloon Blast Showdown—racing to pop every balloon in their colour before the others even blink. Then it’s on to the giant Plinko wall, where one perfect drop could bring glory or total chaos. Things get wild with the Bungee Run, as influencers sprint forward strapped to cords, trying to stick fruit to a wall before being snapped back mid-air. Just when you think it can’t get crazier, they take on the Train Bogie Slide—balancing on rolling balls while riding a slide in a moving cart. And finally, it’s the epic JetX obstacle course—pilotsuits on, engines metaphorically fired, and adrenaline running high. It’s bold, unpredictable, and built for pure entertainment.

New Slots Game Where Ancient Greece Meets Modern Rewards

How to Play Five Gods

Playing Five Gods is easy and fun. Just choose your stake and tap the Spin button. You can start as low as Rs. 4 or go as high as Rs. 9000. Once you spin, the five reels turn, symbols land, and the gods may reward you with generous prizes.

The reels are packed with icons from Greek mythology—like winged sandals, olive branches, enchanted harps, ancient urns, and glowing card letters. Each symbol adds to the atmosphere and contributes to your winning potential.

Wild Magic: Gods Multiply Your Rewards
Wild symbols help complete winning combinations by replacing other symbols, except Scatters. Wilds come in different sizes—from small (1×1) to full-height (1×4), covering the entire reel.

Now here’s where it gets exciting: each reel is tied to a specific god. When a god lands as a full Wild on their reel, they boost your win with a special multiplier. For example, if Zeus lands, your win is multiplied by ×5. If both Hades and Zeus land together, their multipliers combine— ×3 and ×5—giving you a huge ×15 win. And if all five reels are filled with full Wilds, you’ll unlock the biggest reward: 5,000× your stake!

Scatters Unlock the Gods’ Favor

Keep an eye out for the golden temple symbols—these are Scatters. When 3 or more Scatters land anywhere on the reels, they trigger a powerful bonus round:

• 3 Scatters summon 8 Free Spins
• 4 Scatters grant 12 Free Spins
• 5 Scatters unleash divine 20 Free Spins

The more Scatters you uncover, the more generous the gods become—and the greater your chance of unlocking precious rewards.

Buy Bonus Mode

Skip the wait and jump straight into the action with Buy Bonus Mode for just 75× your stake. Activating this feature guarantees 3 Scatters, instantly triggering the Free Spins round.Here’s the fun part: during Bonus Mode, Scatters can retrigger, giving you even more Free Spins and extending your winning potential.

Plus, if any part of a Wild symbol appears on a reel, it will instantly expand to cover the entire reel, giving you a much better chance to land big wins.

Wrapping Up

With 5 reels, 4 rows, and 25 paylines, Five Gods is set to become a must-play for slot lovers and those who are into Greek mythology. Simple rules, exciting features, and timeless theme—Five Gods offers a journey into ancient legend—where every spin brings endless fun and a chance for big wins.

How to Play Fortune Crystal

Playing Fortune Crystal is easy, fun, and full of surprises! Just see your luck from as little as Rs. 4 to Rs. 9,000—and spin the reels. Your goal is to match three identical symbols across a payline to win, be it bells, diamonds, spades, clubs, or hearts made of crystal.

2. Multiplier—Full Screen, Bigger Win

When all three reels are filled with the same symbol or Wilds, the Multiplier Feature kicks in! You’ll see multipliers up to ×10 appear around the screen—and one lucky multiplier will be chosen to boost your win.

Got a full screen of bells? Boom! If the final multiplier is ×5, your payout gets 5× bigger instantly. It’s your ticket to turning a good win into a mega win—just one full screen away!

3. Crystal Joker—Surprise Wins up to ×10,000

Land 2 or more Crystal Jokers anywhere on the reels and get a surprise multiplier—no winning line needed!

• 2 Jokers: Win casiween ×2 and ×10,000

• 3 Jokers anywhere: Win between ×100 and ×10,000

• 3 Jokers in a row: Win between ×1,000 and ×10,000
  ​

Imagine hitting 3 Jokers and getting a ×3,000 multiplier—your luck turns into a monster payout in seconds. It’s fast, it’s flashy, and it could change your game in one spin.
 

4. Fortune Spins—More Crystals, More Fun

When the Fortune Box lands in the center of the second reel, Fortune Spins are triggered automatically—bringing you Free Spins and the chance to collect Crystals!
 

Each Crystal keeps the spins going and builds up your rewards. Fill all the spots with crystals, and the round starts again—more spins, more action, more fun!
 

Time to Play and Win Big!

Parimatch Partners with Sir Vivian Richards

Widely celebrated as one of the greatest batsmen in cricket history, Sir Viv represented the West Indies from 1974 to 1991. Known for his fearless style and commanding presence, he played a key role in the team’s back-to-back World Cup victories in 1975 and 1979. Knighted in 1999 for his contributions to the sport and inducted into multiple halls of fame, Sir Viv cemented his status as one of the sport’s all-time greats.

Though Sir Viv's professional playing career ended in 1991, he remains an influential figure through his work in commentary, mentorship, and advisory roles. His legacy laid the foundation for generations of cricketers to come—and continues to inspire young players around the world.

“Cricket has given me so much, and I’ve always believed in being part of initiatives that bring fans closer to the game,” said Sir Vivian Richards. “Parimatch stands out for its passion, professionalism, and bold vision. I’m excited about what we can create together for fans around the world.”

“Partnering with Sir Vivian Richards is a milestone for Parimatch. His legacy of excellence and leadership perfectly aligns with our ambition to be the global leader in sports and entertainment.

As part of this strategic alliance, Sir Vivian Richards will be featured across Parimatch's large-scale advertising campaigns, including TV commercials, print, radio, outdoor media, PR, and social and digital media outreach.

Parimatch warmly welcomes Sir Viv as they begin this exciting new chapter together-one that promises to inspire and unite cricket fans across the globe.

Dombrower-who now joins MGAM as Interim Chief Technology Officer-is no stranger to building revolutionary products. As a foundational contributor to Electronic Arts' sports franchises, he created the Computer Gaming World's Hall of Fame Earl Weaver Baseball games and shaped the mechanics of modern sports gaming. His influence also extends into the social tech world, where his work with Match.com contributed to one of the most impactful digital platforms of the 21st century.
 

"Eddie is not just a product genius-he's a visionary who understands how to turn complex data into beautiful user experiences that delight and engage," said Brett Rosin, CEO of Mobile Global Esports. "With Curve10 joining our ecosystem and Eddie stepping in as interim CTO, we believe MGAM now has the horsepower to deliver truly next-generation platforms that span gaming, media, and social connectivity."
 

"I've spent my career advising companies at the edge of technology and user engagement-and I'm rarely surprised," said Steve Berman, COO of Mobile Global Esports. "But what Eddie Dombrower and Curve10 bring to the table is something different. It's not just innovative-it's category-defining. Their ability to blend vision, precision, and execution will fundamentally elevate MGAM's roadmap and everything we're building."
 

The first product to benefit from this partnership is Dominus, a fantasy baseball platform that takes fans beyond traditional gameplay and into the decision-maker's chair. Using real MLB data processed through a proprietary linear weights system, Dominus converts game events into fully simulated 9-inning box scores, allowing a trustworthy day-to-day results-oriented platform. This next-gen engine gives users a front office perspective, merging real-world stats with strategic, customizable simulations to deliver a fully immersive experience.
 

"Dominus is a new kind of fantasy-more realistic, strategic, and way more personal," said Dombrower. "But that's just the beginning. What we're building at MGAM touches much more than fantasy sports."
 

In addition to leading Dominus and other core product initiatives, Dombrower is now spearheading the design of a groundbreaking AI-driven social product that builds on his experience at Match.com, while radically reimagining how people connect and form relationships in a post-app world. MGAM hints that this product will be announced in the coming months-and is expected to flip the traditional dating and digital connection model on its head.
 

"The next generation of social technology isn't about swiping-it's about understanding people as they really are," Dombrower added. "We're fusing AI, behavioral data, and user empowerment to create something the market hasn't seen before. Stay tuned."
 

The Dominus platform is slated for rollout in mid-2025. MGAM will also explore licensing, white-label partnerships, and brand extensions across sports and entertainment vertically. With Curve10 now part of the MGAM ecosystem, we believe the Company is positioned to move from concept to execution quickly, unlocking new forms of monetization, fan engagement, and digital ownership.
 

"It's truly an exciting time for us. We're building a company around product, process, and people, a major piece of the puzzle in making products come to life," Rosin added.
