How does Cricket Goat work?

Pick any cricketer on the board and support them. ₹1 adds 1 point to that player's total, and the leaderboard reorders instantly. The player at number one is the current Cricket Goat. Anyone in the world can take part, with no account and no sign-up.

How much does one point cost?

One point costs ₹1. You can support a player with any amount from ₹5 up to ₹1,00,000 in a single payment, and there is no limit on how many times you can come back.

Which cricketers can I support?

Around 250 of the greatest men's cricketers from 12 nations — India, Australia, England, West Indies, Pakistan, South Africa, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Zimbabwe and Ireland. Legends and current players stand side by side on the same board.

Do I need to create an account?

No. There is no sign-up and no login. Choose a player, choose an amount, pay, and the points are added straight away.

Are points refundable?

No. Points are applied to a public leaderboard the moment a payment succeeds and permanently change a player's standing, so they cannot be reversed or transferred.

Is this an official cricket ranking?

No. Cricket Goat is an entertainment product and a fan contest. The board reflects fan support purchased on this site, not sporting achievement, and it is not affiliated with or endorsed by any player, board or governing body.

Who is the GOAT of cricket?

Cricket has argued about it for a century. Bradman's 99.94. Sachin's hundred hundreds. Viv Richards without a helmet. Warne's ball of the century. Every fan has an answer, and no list has ever settled it — because someone else always wrote the list.

Cricket Goat settles it differently. Around 250 of the greatest men's cricketers from 12 nations start on zero points. No panel, no pundits, no algorithm. The only thing that moves a player up this board is fans backing them — ₹1 adds one point, and the ranking updates the moment it lands.

Right now, AB de Villiers holds the crown. If you think that is wrong, you are not outvoted — you are just outspent, and that is fixable.

Common questions

Who is the GOAT of cricket?: On Cricket Goat, the greatest of all time is whoever fans have backed the most. Every cricketer starts on zero points. Fans add points by supporting the player they believe in, and whoever leads the board is crowned the Cricket Goat. There is no panel, no pundits and no algorithm — the ranking is decided entirely by the people who love the game.
How does Cricket Goat work?: Pick any cricketer on the board and support them. ₹1 adds 1 point to that player's total, and the leaderboard reorders instantly. The player at number one is the current Cricket Goat. Anyone in the world can take part, with no account and no sign-up.
How much does one point cost?: One point costs ₹1. You can support a player with any amount from ₹5 up to ₹1,00,000 in a single payment, and there is no limit on how many times you can come back.
Which cricketers can I support?: Around 250 of the greatest men's cricketers from 12 nations — India, Australia, England, West Indies, Pakistan, South Africa, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Zimbabwe and Ireland. Legends and current players stand side by side on the same board.
Do I need to create an account?: No. There is no sign-up and no login. Choose a player, choose an amount, pay, and the points are added straight away.
Are points refundable?: No. Points are applied to a public leaderboard the moment a payment succeeds and permanently change a player's standing, so they cannot be reversed or transferred.
Is this an official cricket ranking?: No. Cricket Goat is an entertainment product and a fan contest. The board reflects fan support purchased on this site, not sporting achievement, and it is not affiliated with or endorsed by any player, board or governing body.
