Mega Stars Cricket VR has revolutionized cricket gaming in India by bringing the stadium experience directly to players' homes through virtual reality technology. Launched in 2022, this game quickly became India's most popular VR sports title, with over 5 million downloads in its first year alone.
Developed by Indian studio CricketTech VR in collaboration with former IPL players, the game offers unprecedented realism. Players can swing their VR controllers like actual cricket bats, with haptic feedback simulating the impact of ball on bat.
The game features all 8 IPL teams plus 4 additional city-based teams representing unrepresented cricket hubs across India. Each team has accurately modeled stadiums with crowd chants in regional languages.
Quick Match: Single innings matches against AI or friends
Career Mode: Build your player from local cricket to IPL stardom

The VR controls have been specifically adapted for Indian players. Right-handed players use their dominant hand for batting, while left-handed controls are fully supported. Bowling mechanics allow for spin, pace, and yorker variations.
