One cricket-crazy small towner (let’s call him SM) introduced a game called Chhah Ka Chhaap (CKC) in a WhatsApp group with school friends. And his cricket-loving friends played for three long years, fighting for leaderboard rankings, contributing banter, sometimes expressing gratitude for the game that was invented. His friend, AX, played begrudgingly, pointing out things that she felt SM could improve. She fared well, often, to her own surprise, and offered wishes instead of advice in those moments. SM’s friend, SK, outside his school circle, called out SM for his selfishness; he believed the game had a place outside of one WhatsApp group and that every cricket enthusiast ought to play it. Thus, these three cricket-crazy #sportsenti people set out to start India’s first live cricket prediction game.
