Cricket portal: This online game will "Zap" cricket fans

For those who can't have enough of cricket, here's something more to watch out for: online cricket games! Unlike other games online, this is almost for real. Zapak Digital Entertainment Ltd, a Reliance ADA Group company, has recently launched India's first full-feature online Multiplayer Cricket game, a first of its kind not only in India but in the world.

All you to need to do is log on to Zapak.com and play the game for free against anyone in the world. You get to call the toss, know the weather conditions, play all strokes and bowling styles by the book and outside of it too (you can try your own batting and bowling innovations), choose the field setting. From no balls to overthrows and runouts, you get a feel of everything. Probably, the only thing that makes you feel its an online game of cricket is that you don't have to pad up to play this!

Zap.com has already zapped the cricket crazy fans. By the first 15 days of its launch, it has become the fastest growing portal with an average of 1 million page hits daily and nearly 10,000 registrations per day. So, if cricket is what makes you tick, just plug in and play, howzzat?
