Let’s Game Now has raised ₹30 crore to develop the Indian Super Gaming League (ISGL), a franchise-based esports project that includes Cricket 26 among its published titles. The round was reported on November 1 as being backed by Anand Mahindra, Bestvantage Investments and a UAE-based family office.
For players, the news is about the league’s ability to build events and its long-term format, not a new paid gaming product. ISGL’s official site currently says its 2026 city qualifiers are complete and lists the grand final as to be decided, so users should be cautious about unofficial “final registration” messages.
What the funding is for
ETSportsWorld’s November 1 report says the capital is intended to develop the Indian Super Gaming League, a season-based, franchise-led competition. Deal terms, individual cheque sizes and valuation were not disclosed in the report.
That means the funding should not be read as confirmation of a new consumer app, a cash-prize registration scheme or a guaranteed player payout. The published league information is the reliable place to check dates, rules, eligible titles and routes into future events.
Why cricket-game players may notice it
The official ISGL site lists Cricket 26 alongside chess, FC 26 and Call of Duty: Mobile, and names city-qualifier winners in those games. That places cricket gaming in a competitive format that is separate from paid fantasy cricket and cash rummy.
It is another route for fans who want game competition rather than prediction contests. For context, our eCricket closed-beta update and our Hitwicket investment report cover two other recent cricket-gaming developments in India.
How to follow an event safely
- Start with ISGL’s official site and verified organiser accounts for dates and entry conditions.
- Check whether an event is open, invite-only or already complete before giving anyone personal data.
- Do not send UPI payments or OTPs to “activate” a qualifier place or unlock a prize.
- Read game-specific rules before installing an app or joining a community server.
For another example of how organised mobile events are presented, see our Google Play Arena coverage. The new ISGL funding is a meaningful brand development, but future event details still need to come from the organiser rather than forwarded posters or download links.
