About Aaj Ka Khel
Aaj Ka Khel is a free, Kolkata-first cricket community platform where amateur and grassroots cricketers in India register teams, build player profiles, track batting and bowling statistics, and climb performance-weighted rankings. Launched in 2026 and based in Kolkata, West Bengal, it connects players and teams through a Player Market and a buy-and-sell gear marketplace, and is available in English, Hindi and Bengali.
How it works
- •Register as a team, player or fan in minutes — no cost.
- •Build a profile — teams manage squads and W/L/D records; players record batting and bowling stats across tennis-ball and leather-ball cricket.
- •Track & rank — performances feed a performance-weighted leaderboard for the Kolkata cricket circuit, updated as matches are scored.
- •Find games & players — the Player Market lets free agents mark availability and teams post vacancies, so squads fill instantly.
- •Buy & sell gear — the cricket marketplace lists bats, balls, pads, gloves and kit from players and teams.
- •Stay connected — a community blog and forum carry match reports, player features and training tips.
What makes it different
- •Kolkata-first: rankings and teams are built specifically around the Kolkata cricket circuit, not a generic global feed.
- •Performance-weighted rankings: players and teams are ranked on actual match output (runs, wickets, averages, strike rates), with separate tennis-ball and leather-ball leaderboards.
- •Player Market + gear marketplace: two consumer features — finding players and trading gear — that most cricket-scoring tools do not combine.
- •Free and tri-lingual: no cost to join, available in English, Hindi and Bengali.
Who it's for
Aaj Ka Khel is built for amateur and semi-pro cricketers, club and gully teams, and cricket fans in Kolkata and across India — players who want a public profile and verifiable stats, captains who need to fill a squad, and teams that want a local ranking and identity. It is not a professional broadcasting or league-administration SaaS; it is a community platform for grassroots players.
