📜 EDITOR'S LETTER · JULY 2026

Why we do this.

Indian fantasy cricket is a skill game. But every review you read online is a paid placement. Platforms pay reviewers. Reviewers give 4.5 stars. You click. Everyone wins — except you.

Fantasy Cricket Cup is the antidote. We test every platform ourselves — 90-day, real accounts, real rupees. We never accept paid placements. We publish corrections within 48 hours. We rate every captain pick against 47 variables.

When you read a 4.9★ on this magazine, we earned it.
