The story behind the name
Nikhil Mishra is the visionary behind CricFight. A technology entrepreneur who previously worked at Paytm and went on to found Opsyra, he pairs a builder's instinct with a weekend cricketer's frustration: he launched CricFight in 2024 after struggling to find a scoring app fast enough to use mid-over during a local club match. What started as a weekend project quickly grew into a platform used by teams across India. As CEO, Nikhil drives the product vision, community strategy, and ensures CricFight stays true to its mission: professional-grade cricket tools for every team, forever free. He's the first to admit he is no professional cricketer — just someone who plays the amateur weekend game and wanted it recorded properly. His belief is simple — every match deserves to be remembered, not just the ones on TV.
