Recently, Rooter also showcased the entire Indian Super League season on its app, leading to increased traction on its platform and augment viewership numbers for the event itself.

Speaking on the move, Piyush, Founder & CEO, Rooter, said, “Over the years, the tournament has been overshadowed by other formats that are more easily consumed. We, at Rooter, believe that test and first-class cricket in
India has its own undisputed place in the world of sports. While very few digital and social platforms have managed to capture their true essence, we are committed to showcasing the best of domestic sporting events and
engage fans in ways that help them rediscover how electrifying these events can be.”
Rooter offers sports fans a chance to interact with one another across real and virtual worlds through social interactions and gamification from devices they are constantly connected to.
Besides the live prediction game, users can also discover other fans around them, chat either individually or on groups, play pre-match quizzes, and win prizes every day. Also read: Nintendo Switch Console Set to go on Show on January 12 And 13
