BharatPe co-founder Ashneer Grover has apologized for the delayed CrickPe launch following the sudden demise of his father earlier this week.

Sorry. In this week leading to CrickPe app launch I lost my dad. Tough decision was to abort launch or go ahead with IPL nevertheless. I promise the app will be without glitches by Monday. I failed – not making any excuses.@crickpe_app

Despite this setback, Grover reassured fans of the game that CrickPe would be up and running by Monday, with no glitches in sight. The app, which is a fantasy cricket game that pays cricketers for their performance, was first announced as part of Grover’s ‘Third Unicorn’ project, launched on his 40th birthday last year. Along with his wife Madhuri Jain Grover and AseemGhavri, Grover began developing CrickPe in 2022.
The app description on Google read: “Crickpe is the only fantasy game, which will reward a percentage of every game pot to real cricketers, based on their actual performance in the match, in proportion to their fantasy points earned.”
Earlier, Grover had claimed that CrickPe would be the biggest revolution in Cricket since IPL, and It remains to be seen whether this claim turns out to be true. Grover’s latest app in the fantasy league platform will take on players like Dream11, Mobile Premier League (MPL), and Games24x7’s My11Circle.
Users of CrickPe will need to create a team of 11 players from different IPL teams and select a captain and vice-captains. The captain will receive 2X points if they perform well in the actual match, while the vice-captain will get 1.5X points. The app notes, “You earn points as per your team’s real-life performance. Score maximum points on the leaderboard to win big prizes.”
While CrickPe will not only cover IPL, it will also include other leagues, such as Asia Cup 2023 and ICC World Cup 2023. However, the company is only planning to cover cricket events for the time being.
Despite the delay caused by Grover’s personal tragedy, it remains to be seen whether CrickPe will meet the hype generated by its creator. Nevertheless, it has certainly generated interest and excitement among cricket enthusiasts, who will undoubtedly be eager to try out this new addition to the fantasy cricket gaming world.
