Cricbuzz is a cricket-focused online platform that provides live scores, news, articles, and other cricket-related content. It was founded in 2004 by Pankaj Chhaparwal and Pravin Hegde, and over the years, it has grown to become one of the most popular cricket websites globally. Cricbuzz offers coverage of international and domestic cricket matches, providing real-time updates on scores, match commentary, statistics, and player profiles.
The platform features detailed ball-by-ball commentary for matches, which is widely followed by users seeking updates during live cricket events. Cricbuzz also offers news articles and features written by cricket journalists, discussing match results, player performances, team strategies, and cricketing trends. The site covers major international tournaments such as the ICC Cricket World Cup, ICC T20 World Cup, and bilateral series between cricket-playing nations, as well as domestic leagues like the Indian Premier League (IPL) and other regional competitions.
In addition to live scores and match commentary, Cricbuzz provides information on upcoming fixtures, team rankings, and cricketing records. The platform also maintains an extensive database of player statistics, allowing users to track the performances of cricketers across different formats and competitions.
Cricbuzz's mobile app, launched to cater to the growing number of smartphone users, has gained significant popularity and is available on both Android and iOS platforms. The app allows users to access live scores, news, and updates on the go. Its user-friendly interface and real-time notifications have contributed to its widespread use among cricket fans.
In November 2014, Times Internet, a subsidiary of the Times of India Group, acquired a majority stake in Cricbuzz, which further boosted the platform’s reach and development. The site continues to operate independently under the leadership of its founders.
Cricbuzz has also partnered with various cricket leagues and broadcasters to offer exclusive content and insights, further expanding its role as a key source of cricket information worldwide.
