Cricbuzz, one of the most popular cricket score platforms, is now promoting a fantasy sports app, Cricbuzz11. If you have visited Cricbuzz recently, you might have seen ads for a new fantasy Cricket app, Cricbuzz11.
Clicking on these ads directly downloads the APK. Downloading the APK downloads the app that allows users to join fantasy cricket contests. There is also an iOS app available on the App Store. you can also check its official website Cricbuzz11.com. The app feels similar to Dream11 and has a similar user interface. The primary difference is the color scheme. Cricbuzz11 follows the green color scheme of Cricbuzz as opposed to red color scheme of Dream11.
Since Times Internet owns Cricbuzz, people will think that Cricbuzz11 is the product of Times Internet. Some reports have also linked the app to Times Internet, assuming it is their entry into the fantasy gaming segment. But after digging deeper, I found clear evidence that Dream11, not Times Internet, operates Cricbuzz11. It looks like Dream11 has struck a deal with Times Internet to use the Cricbuzz name.
A look at Cricbuzz11’s Terms and Conditions shows that DP Platform Private Limited runs the app. If that name sounds unfamiliar, here’s the catch—it’s the part of Dream Sports, the parent company of Dream11.
For those still in doubt, checking the Registrar of Companies (ROC) data confirms it. The registration data confirm that DP Platform Private Limited is part of Dream Sports.

The two directors of the company Navin Agarwal and Rahul Mirchandani are the CFO and Chief Product Officer at Dream Sports.
Why Is Dream11 Using the Cricbuzz Name?
Dream11 dominates the fantasy cricket space, with no real competitor. So why launch another fantasy app under Cricbuzz’s branding? The answer seems to be user acquisition.
With fantasy cricket reaching saturation, getting new users has become harder. Most cricket fans interested in fantasy sports are already playing on Dream11 or similar platforms. This is where Cricbuzz’s massive and trusted user base comes in. By associating with Cricbuzz, Dream11 hopes to attract users who may not have signed up for fantasy gaming otherwise.
This move clearly shows that Dream11 is exploring new growth strategies. Instead of spending money into marketing, it’s leveraging a well-known brand to build trust and attract new users. Existing Dream11 users might also sign up for Cricbuzz11, increasing engagement and revenue for the company.
Additionally, there’s a large segment of former Dream11 users who may have quit after repeated losses. Rather than returning to Dream11, these users are more likely to try a “new” platform with a fresh start. By launching Cricbuzz11 under a different name, Dream11 is giving them exactly that—without them realizing it’s the same company behind both apps.
