We have used our 20 years of heritage and knowledge and our unmatched collection of news, information and data to bring fans a truly dynamic and engaging experience. Starting on fans’ digital devices and culminating in an on-ground finale we want to unite users across platforms and deliver an immersive experience. With CricIQ, we’ve built a property that taps into people’s knowledge of the game and recognize the same. Our quest is to honour and celebrate the greatest cricket fans.”

Hosted by quizmaster Joy Bhattacharjya, CricIQ is the ultimate cricket fan IQ matchup with participants from across the country going head-to-head in a battle to be the best.
