Cricket in Pune without a home team
Pune's own IPL side, Rising Pune Supergiant, reached the 2017 final and then disappeared, so the city has spent nearly a decade following other teams. The desk sees Pune users split between Mumbai Indians by geography, Chennai Super Kings by MS Dhoni loyalty from the Pune years, and RCB. That makes Pune one of the few cities where the busiest market on a given night depends on the fixture rather than the home side.
The MCA Stadium at Gahunje hosts internationals and occasional neutral IPL games on a surface that generally rewards batting, so when Pune does host, the over-runs sessions are popular. The city's deep Maharashtra Ranji tradition also gives it a stronger domestic-cricket following than most metros.

How Pune users pay and withdraw

Frequently asked questions
Questions people ask about an online cricket ID in Pune
Which team do Pune users usually bet on?
There is no single answer because Pune has no IPL team. Users here follow Mumbai Indians, Chennai Super Kings and RCB in roughly equal numbers, so the most active market on any night depends on the fixture. The exchange behind your ID covers every match regardless.
Is online cricket ID legal in Maharashtra?
Maharashtra applies the Bombay Prevention of Gambling Act of 1887, and the police in Pune and Mumbai have acted under it. This site cannot give legal advice. Check the rules that apply to you in Maharashtra before deciding whether to take part.
Is an online cricket ID in Pune different from anywhere else?
No. The ID, the exchange behind it and the WhatsApp process are the same across India. What differs is the rules that apply in Maharashtra, the payment apps people in Pune prefer and the matches they follow most, which is what this page covers.
Can someone under 18 in Pune get an ID?
No. The desk only creates IDs for adults aged 18 and over, and this site is written for adults only. Do not misstate your age or use another person's identity or phone number.
Do I need to visit an office in Pune?
No. There is no office, agent visit or paperwork. Everything happens in one WhatsApp conversation, and the same desk handles deposits, withdrawals and support afterwards.
