  favorite cricketers religiously. Whatever they
  say, the fans follow. This is why cricket is such
  a crazy game here in India.

  promoting a particular app, they soon consider
  that to be the best fantasy app in the
  country and they join that.

  that cricketers are influencing a lot of people
  to play fantasy cricket and in a way earn a lot
  of money.
