A real league from IPL 2026: live leaderboard, each team's squad and what they paid, match-by-match points and stats.
IPL 2026 team standings, the Orange and Purple Cap races, and match-by-match fantasy points for every player.
Most fantasy cricket apps ask you to rebuild your team before every match. CricketGem works the way friends and office groups have always run leagues in spreadsheets: one big auction or draft at the start, then a season-long table. The difference is that nobody has to type in scores the next morning. Points are worked out from official scorecards after every match, and every league member can see exactly where each point came from. Your skill shows in one place: knowing which players will make the biggest impact, and how much they are worth.
No. The purse is play money for the auction. CricketGem is about bragging rights with your friends, not betting.
No. You build your squad once, at the auction, and it plays for the whole tournament. Points pile up automatically as your players perform.
Usually an hour or two for six to ten friends. You can do it on a video call, with people bidding from a laptop or their phone.
Choose a snake draft instead: teams take turns picking players. It suits busy groups that can't all be online at once.
IPL to start with, with more tournaments such as World Cups and other T20 leagues on the way.
