About the newsroom
Come Fantasy Live is an independent Hindi-English cricket newsroom covering live state, match reports, team intelligence, fantasy context and responsible cricket play for Indian readers aged 18 and above.
Come Fantasy Live began as a readers' question: where does the cricket actually get read? This site publishes what we wish we had while watching a match — useful context, named sources and a clear line between confirmed, likely and projection. Hindi and English share the same newsroom.
Our writers and editors work from three desks: tournaments (IPL and bilateral series), teams and players, and fantasy context. Each desk runs on a six-week editorial cycle with a mid-cycle open house for corrections and reader feedback. We do not run promoted captaincy picks, sponsored fantasy walls or affiliate stacks inside the editorial copy.
Sources named, not guessed
Every report carries a source line. We label social posts as Unverified, newsroom reporting as Secondary, board or franchise releases as Primary, and we never stretch to fill a sentence.
Where a probable XI is published, every player carries one of four labels — Confirmed, Likely, Doubtful, Unavailable — and a source date. We do not present a probable XI as official line-ups.
Seven editorial beats
Breaking
Pressers, lineup reveals, retirement news — flagged Breaking with a single source rule.
Match reports
Scorebook review, decisive moments, captain quotes — never invented user winnings.
Analysis
Why a call mattered and what to watch next, with confidence labels.
Explainer
Rules, formats, role changes — clear copy for new readers.
Live state
Fixtures, status, last update, pitch cues — labels first, content second.
Responsible play
18+ notes, state rules, time and money limits.
Updates
What changed, what it means — short paragraphs, timestamped twice.
Corrections
When a report changes, we publish a What changed note near the top.
One newsroom, two languages
Our writers work in Hindi and English interchangeably. Translation does not flatten urgency, and we keep English cricket nouns where they actually help a reader scan faster — powerplay, spin pair, lower order, third umpire.
Where a report is published in Hindi first, the English copy is rewritten, not machine-translated. Where the English copy carries first, the Hindi copy follows within twelve hours.
