It is the only fantasy cricket app in the world where with every match, the actual playing cricketers, cricketing bodies, and real team owners win cash rewards, along with the fantasy game-winners.

In particular, the Cricket app has been released to compete with rivals like Dream11, Mobile Premier League (MPL), and Games24x7's My11Circle.

For his business, Third Unicorn Pvt Ltd., Ashneer Grover has secured around $4 million in seed money. Almost twenty angel investors, including Anmol Singh Jaggi, Anirudh Kedia, and Vishal Kedia, participated in the investment round.

Grover declared on the micro-blogging platform Twitter last year that he is ready to re-enter the business sector and has ambitions to create another "unicorn" as he celebrated his 40th birthday. He wrote on Twitter, "Time to disrupt another sector. It’s time for the Third Unicorn." The other two unicorns Grover was affiliated with were BharatPe and Grofers.
