Cricket is not just a sport in India—it’s a religion. From the narrow lanes of Mumbai to the vast fields of Punjab, you’ll find kids with bat and ball, imitating their favorite players. Now, VR Cricket Glory Quest takes this passion to a whole new level, letting you step into the shoes of a cricketer with the power of virtual reality. Launched in 2023 by a Delhi-based gaming studio, this game has redefined how Indians experience cricket, making you feel like you’re playing at Eden Gardens or Wankhede Stadium—without leaving your home!
Imagine standing at the crease, sun shining, crowd roaring, as you face a fast bowler. Or running in to bowl a yorker, with the batsman sweating under pressure. That’s the magic of VR Cricket Glory Quest. It’s not just about pressing buttons; it’s about moving your body, timing your shots, and feeling every emotion of a real cricket match. No wonder it’s become a craze in cyber cafes, malls, and homes across India—from Bangalore to Kolkata, Hyderabad to Ahmedabad.
What makes VR Cricket Glory Quest stand out? It’s built for Indians, by Indians. The developers spent months studying how cricket is played and watched in India—from gully cricket rules to international match traditions. They worked with former Indian cricketers to perfect the gameplay, ensuring that every shot, every bowl, feels authentic. As a result, players say, "It’s like living my childhood dream of playing for India!"
For those new to virtual reality, VR uses a headset to create a 360-degree, computer-generated environment that makes you feel like you’re physically present. VR Cricket Glory Quest leverages this technology to simulate cricket matches with stunning realism. Whether you’re batting, bowling, fielding, or keeping wickets, every action requires real movement—just like in a real game.
Developed by a team of cricket fanatics and tech experts from Noida, VR Cricket Glory Quest was born out of a simple idea: "Why watch cricket when you can play it like a pro?" The team visited local cricket academies in Delhi, Chennai, and Lahore (for research!) to understand the nuances of the game. They recorded over 500 hours of real cricket matches to replicate the physics of the ball, the sound of the bat, and even the way the crowd reacts to a six.
The game is compatible with major VR headsets like Oculus Quest, HTC Vive, and even budget-friendly options available in India. It also has a mobile VR version for those using Google Cardboard or similar devices—making it accessible to Indians across different income groups. You can play alone against AI, with friends in the same room (using multiple headsets), or online against players from across India.

The popularity of VR Cricket Glory Quest in India can be attributed to its timing. With more Indians gaining access to affordable VR technology, and cricket fever at an all-time high (thanks to IPL and international matches), the game filled a gap. During the 2024 IPL season, the game saw a 400% increase in downloads, as fans wanted to "play like their favorite IPL stars."
Another reason for its success is its focus on accessibility. In a country where high-end VR headsets are still expensive, the mobile VR version allows users to experience the game with just a smartphone and a ₹500 cardboard headset. "I bought a cheap VR box from the local market, and now my kids play VR Cricket Glory Quest every evening," says a father from Jaipur. "It’s the best ₹500 I’ve spent!"
If you’ve ever played cricket in real life, VR Cricket Glory Quest will feel surprisingly natural. But even if you’re new to the sport, the game’s intuitive controls make it easy to learn. Let’s break down how each aspect of the game works:
Batting in VR Cricket Glory Quest is all about timing and technique. Here’s how it works:
• You stand in a virtual crease, holding two VR controllers that mimic a cricket bat. The controllers track your hand movements, so swinging them feels like swinging a real bat.
• The bowler runs in and delivers the ball. You need to judge the speed, line, and length—just like in real cricket.
• For a straight drive, you swing the bat straight down the ground. For a cover drive, you angle the bat slightly. A pull shot requires a quick, horizontal swing. The game’s physics engine ensures that each shot behaves realistically—hit too early, and you’ll edge it; hit too late, and it’ll go straight up.
• Special shots like the scoop, reverse sweep, and six-hitting slog are also possible, but they require practice. "I spent two weeks mastering the reverse sweep, and now I can hit it every time!" says a user from Chennai.
Bowling in VR Cricket Glory Quest is equally immersive. You can choose to be a fast bowler, spinner, or swing bowler, each with unique mechanics:
• Fast Bowlers: Run up (in your physical space—make sure you have room!), jump slightly at the end of your run, and release the controller to deliver the ball. The faster you run, the faster the ball. You can also vary the length by adjusting your release point.
• Spinners: Stand still, hold the controller like a spinner’s grip, and rotate your wrist as you release to impart spin. A wrist spinner can bowl leg spin or googly, while a finger spinner can bowl off spin or doosra. The game tracks your wrist movement to determine the spin direction.
• Swing Bowlers: Focus on your wrist position at release. Angling your wrist inward creates in-swing; outward creates out-swing. It’s tricky, but mastering it can make you unplayable. "I love bowling swing—batters never know which way it’s going!" says a user from Mumbai.
Fielding is often overlooked in cricket games, but VR Cricket Glory Quest makes it exciting:
• As a fielder, you need to move your body to get under the ball. Catch it by bringing your hands together—miss, and you’ll have to chase it down and throw it back quickly to prevent runs.
• Wicket-keeping is even more intense. You stand behind the stumps, track the ball, and dive to catch edges or stump the batsman if they step out of their crease. "Stumping someone in VR feels as good as in real life—maybe better!" says a user from Kolkata.
VR Cricket Glory Quest offers a variety of modes to suit different moods and skill levels:
The game’s umpiring is done by virtual umpires with voices that sound like real Indian cricket umpires. You’ll hear familiar phrases like "How’s that?" and "Not out!" that add to the realism.
The commentary is a highlight, with two options: Hindi Commentary (by a popular Indian cricket commentator) and English Commentary (with a hint of Indian accent). The commentators react to the game in real-time—praising a six with "Shabaash! What a shot!" or criticizing a bad ball with "That’s a loosener, should be punished!"
"The commentary makes me feel like I’m watching a live match on TV, but I’m the one playing!" says a user from Punjab.
Cricket in India is diverse—what’s popular in Chennai might be different from what’s loved in Lahore (though we focus on India here!). VR Cricket Glory Quest embraces these differences, making the game feel like a true Indian experience. Here’s how:
The game features 15+ iconic Indian stadiums, each recreated with stunning detail:
Each stadium has its own unique crowd chants. In Chennai, you’ll hear "Whistle Podu!"; in Mumbai, "Mumbai Mumbai!"; in Kolkata, "Kolkata Kolkata, Jeetbe!" (Kolkata will win!). It’s these little details that make players feel at home.
India is a land of many languages, and VR Cricket Glory Quest speaks them all. The game supports 18 Indian languages, more than any other sports game:
Hindi, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, Gujarati, Punjabi, Kannada, Malayalam, Odia, Assamese, Bhojpuri, Rajasthani, Haryanvi, Konkani, Nepali, Urdu, and Kashmiri.
Menus, instructions, commentary, and in-game chat are all available in these languages. Imagine playing in Punjabi, with the commentator saying "Vah! Ohdiyaan maar diyan!" (Wow! He hit those!) when you hit a six. Or in Tamil, hearing "Adhu super shot!" (That’s a super shot!) after a boundary. It’s like having a local friend commentating on your game.
Cricket is played differently across India, and VR Cricket Glory Quest lets you choose your regional style:
"I chose the South Indian style, and the game automatically adjusted the pitch to spin more—just like in Chennai," says a user from Tamil Nadu. "It’s like the game knows how we play here!"
VR Cricket Glory Quest celebrates Indian festivals with special in-game events that blend cricket with culture:
These events are a hit among Indian families. "During Diwali, my whole family takes turns playing the Diwali Special mode," says a user from Ahmedabad. "We laugh so hard when the fireworks go off after a six!"
Ready to step into the virtual cricket field? Here’s how to download and start playing VR Cricket Glory Quest in India:
The game is available in two versions: VR Headset Version (for Oculus, HTC Vive, etc.) and Mobile VR Version (for smartphones with VR boxes). Both versions offer the same core experience, with the headset version having slightly better graphics.
You don’t need the most expensive VR setup to play VR Cricket Glory Quest. Here’s what you need:
For users with budget smartphones, the game has a "Low Graphics Mode" that reduces visual effects but keeps the gameplay smooth. "I have a 3-year-old Redmi phone, and it runs perfectly on Low Graphics Mode," says a user from rural Uttar Pradesh.
Logging in is simple, with options tailored to how Indians use apps:
"I logged in with my phone number in 10 seconds—no complicated forms," says a user from Bihar. "Even my 55-year-old uncle, who’s not tech-savvy, could do it!"
The base game of VR Cricket Glory Quest is 100% free. You can play Quick Matches, Gully Cricket, and even some multiplayer games without paying a rupee.
Optional in-app purchases include:
Most Indian players say you don’t need to spend money to enjoy the game. "I’ve been playing for 6 months without paying anything, and I’m in the top 10,000 players," says a user from Bangalore.
Indians have fallen in love with VR Cricket Glory Quest, and their reviews are full of passion and excitement. Here’s what players from different parts of the country are saying:
Review from Arjun, Chennai: "Chepauk stadium in VR is mind-blowing! The crowd sounds exactly like the real thing—'Whistle Podu!' when I hit a four. The spin bowling is so realistic—I can make the ball turn like Ashwin! My friends and I have weekly tournaments, and we trash-talk in Tamil. Best VR game ever for cricket fans!"
Review from Priya, Mumbai: "As a girl who grew up playing cricket with boys in the chawl, this game is a dream come true. The gully cricket mode is spot on—even the way the ball bounces off the walls! I love that I can play as a female cricketer and hit sixes just like Harmanpreet Kaur. The Marathi commentary makes it feel like my family is watching me play."
Review from Amrit, Ludhiana: "Punjabi commentary is hilarious! When I bowl a fast yorker, the commentator says 'Oye hoye! Kutta maar diya!' (Wow! He hit it like a dog!). I play Career Mode as a fast bowler, and now I’m in the Indian team. My dad, who used to play district cricket, says my bowling action in VR is better than his real one! We play every evening—best father-son time ever."
Review from Swati, Kolkata: "Eden Gardens in VR! I cried when I first saw it—it’s exactly like the real stadium where I watched my first India-Pakistan match. The Diwali event was amazing—fireworks after every six, and the rangoli on the pitch. My daughter (8) loves the kids’ mode, where the ball moves slower. She says she’s going to be a VR cricket star!"
Review from Ravi, Hyderabad: "The mobile VR version works great with my cheap cardboard headset. I play during my lunch break at the office—my colleagues gather around to watch. The Telugu commentary is perfect—'Mee akkada ki six!' (Six to your place!) when I hit a big one. Only complaint: I want more Hyderabad players in Career Mode. But overall, 5 stars!"
Common praise points include realistic gameplay, regional customization, and accessibility on budget devices. The few criticisms? Some users want more regional players (like from Odisha or Assam) in Career Mode, and a "Village Cricket" mode with mud pitches. The developers have promised these in the next update, showing they listen to their Indian audience.
Winning in VR Cricket Glory Quest takes skill, practice, and knowing the tricks that work best in Indian conditions. Here are some pro tips from top Indian players:
1. Master the wrist work: Indian batsmen are known for their wrist skills. For spin bowling, use your wrists to flick the ball to the leg side. Practice this in the nets—start slow, focus on timing over power.
2. Play according to the pitch: On Chennai’s spinning pitch, play late and let the ball come to you. On Mumbai’s fast outfield, hit along the ground for quick singles. Adapt your style to the stadium!
3. Gully cricket hack: In gully mode, use the walls to your advantage. Hit the ball at an angle so it bounces off the wall—defenders can’t reach it in time. "This is how we scored runs in my Delhi gully," says a pro player.
4. Against fast bowlers: Watch the bowler’s hand closely. If they’re holding the ball with two fingers on top, it’s a fast one—duck or defend. If they’re gripping it loosely, it might be a slower ball—ready to hit!
1. Spin bowling in India: On dusty pitches (like Delhi), bowl outside the off-stump and make it spin in. Batsmen will often edge it to slip. "Think like Ashwin—mix your pace and spin," advises a top player from Bangalore.
2. Fast bowling tricks: In Kolkata, swing the ball into right-handed batsmen (in-swing) after the 10th over—pitch gets slower, and swing increases. Use the bouncer sparingly—Indian batsmen are good at hooking!
3. Gully bowling: Bowl full tosses—they’re hard to hit in narrow gullies. If the batsman is hitting too many fours, bowl a "dobbler" (slow, looping delivery)—they’ll mistime it.
4. Change your action: Every 3-4 overs, change your run-up length. Batsmen get used to your rhythm—surprise them with a shorter or longer run.
1. Positioning in Indian stadiums: In Chennai, stand deeper—batsmen hit more fours. In Mumbai, stand closer—boundaries are shorter, so stop singles.
2. Catching practice: Use the "Fielding Drills" mode for 10 minutes daily. Focus on catching high balls—Indian pitches often have big hits.
3. Wicket-keeping vs spinners: Stay low and move your feet quickly. Spinners in India bowl with lots of variation—be ready for the googly or doosra.
4. Throw quickly: After catching, practice throwing to the stumps in one motion. In T20s, saving 1 run can win the match!
1. North India: Bat aggressively in the powerplay—use the fast outfields to hit boundaries. Bowl short to right-handed batsmen—they struggle with pulls.
2. South India: Build partnerships slowly, then accelerate in the last 10 overs. Bowl spin from both ends—left-arm and right-arm spinners create confusion.
3. East India: Swing bowling is key—bowl first if you win the toss. Bat with courage—go for big shots even if it’s risky. "Kolkata cricket is all about aggression!" says a local pro.
4. West India: Mix pace and spin. Use medium pacers to swing the ball early, then spinners to slow it down. Bat with power—target the shorter boundaries in Mumbai and Ahmedabad.
Many Indian players also recommend practicing against the "Legend AI"—which mimics the playing styles of Indian cricket legends like Sachin Tendulkar, Virat Kohli, and Anil Kumble. "If you can score runs against Sachin AI, you can score against anyone online!" says a user from Mumbai.
VR Cricket Glory Quest has built a strong community in India, with regular events and tournaments that bring players together. From small local competitions to national championships, there’s something for everyone:
Held every 6 months, this is the biggest VR Cricket Glory Quest event in India. Players from all states compete in a knockout format, with the final streamed live on YouTube and attended by real Indian cricketers. The 2025 champion, from Bangalore, won ₹5 lakh in cash, a high-end VR headset, and a meet-and-greet with Virat Kohli!
"Watching the final was like watching an IPL match—my heart was racing!" says a fan from Pune. "The skills on display were incredible—some shots looked impossible, but they pulled them off in VR!"
These matches pit players from rival states against each other, adding a fun, competitive edge:
Regional pride is strong. "When Punjab plays Delhi, we have viewing parties in our village," says a user from Amritsar. "We decorate the TV room with Punjab flags and cheer like it’s a real match!"
Indian festivals are incomplete without cricket, and VR Cricket Glory Quest celebrates this with special tournaments:
These tournaments bring families together. "On Diwali, my uncles, cousins, and I all play in the Diwali Tournament," says a user from Cochin. "We take it so seriously—there’s even a trophy for the winner, bought with our own money!"
Cyber cafés across India have embraced VR Cricket Glory Quest, organizing weekly leagues. Many cafés have set up dedicated VR zones with multiple headsets, allowing players to compete in the same room.
"Our café in Hyderabad has 8 VR stations, and every Saturday, we host a league," says the café owner. "We charge ₹100 per entry, and the winner gets free gaming for a month. It’s packed—people come from all over the city to play!"
Some cafés even partner with local businesses to offer prizes: the winner might get a free meal at a nearby restaurant or a discount on a new phone. It’s a great way for young Indians to socialize and showcase their skills.
The VR Cricket Glory Quest community in India is thriving, with players connecting online and offline to share tips, celebrate wins, and make friends. Here’s where the action happens:
Facebook groups are a hub for fans. "VR Cricket Glory Quest India" has over 180,000 members, where players organize matches, share gameplay videos, and discuss strategies.

Instagram is full of gameplay clips. The hashtag #VRCricketGloryQuestIndia has over 3 million posts, with players showing off their best shots and wickets. Reels of close matches often go viral, with comments like "Yeh toh Sachin jaisa shot tha!" (That was a Sachin-like shot!) and "Mera gully ka style hai yeh!" (This is my gully style!)
WhatsApp groups are where most local matches are organized. Every major city has multiple groups: "Mumbai VR Cricket Pros" (400+ members), "Bangalore VR Crushers" (500+), and "Delhi VR Strikers" (350+). These groups arrange daily matches, share trick shot tutorials, and even plan offline meetups.
"Our group in Chennai meets every Sunday at a mall with VR stations," says a member. "We play VR Cricket Glory Quest for 3 hours, then go for dosas. It’s the best way to make friends who love cricket as much as I do!"
The r/VRCricketGloryQuest subreddit has 95,000+ members, with Indian users making up 60% of the community. Here, players debate the best batting techniques, complain about bugs (and praise fixes), and share in-depth guides. The monthly "Indian Player of the Month" contest is highly competitive, with winners getting featured in the game’s newsletter.
Indian gaming forums like "Desi Gamers Hub" and "Indian VR Community" have active sections for VR Cricket Glory Quest. Players from smaller cities (like Vijayawada, Raipur, and Jalandhar) connect here, sharing tips on how to play with budget VR setups.
While the game is virtual, it’s bringing people together in real life. Major cities host quarterly meetups where players compete in VR and then play a real cricket match in a local ground.
The 2024 Mumbai meetup even had a special guest: former Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar, who played a few VR matches with fans. "Meeting Sachin and playing against him in VR was a dream come true," says a lucky player from Mumbai.
VR Cricket Glory Quest is constantly improving, with regular updates that add new features, fix bugs, and enhance the gameplay experience. Here’s what Indian players can look forward to:
The developers are committed to making VR Cricket Glory Quest the most authentic Indian cricket experience. "We visit local cricket grounds, talk to players, and even watch gully matches to get ideas," says the game’s lead developer (a former Ranji Trophy player from Haryana). "This game is for India—we want every player to see themselves in it."
Yes! The base game is completely free. You can play Quick Matches, Gully Cricket, and even some multiplayer games without paying. In-app purchases are optional, for extra features like new stadiums or kits. Most Indian players enjoy the game fully without spending money.
No! While high-end headsets like Oculus Quest offer the best experience, the mobile VR version works with cheap cardboard headsets (₹300-₹1,000) and most smartphones. Many users in India play with budget setups and love it.
Absolutely! The online multiplayer mode lets you connect with friends across India. Just send them a game invite via WhatsApp or in-game chat, and you can play together in real time. "I play with my cousin in Delhi every weekend, even though I’m in Chennai," says a user.
A 30-minute online match uses about 150-200MB of data. The game has a "Data Saver Mode" that reduces this to 100-150MB—great for users on limited data plans. You can play 5-6 matches with 1GB of data!
Yes! There’s a "Kids Mode" with simpler controls, slower ball speed, and no in-app purchases. Parents can set time limits to prevent overplaying. Kids love hitting sixes and bowling to virtual batsmen—many parents say it gets their kids active (since VR requires movement).
Yes! The game has virtual versions of popular Indian cricketers like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Jhulan Goswami. You can play as them in "Legend Mode" or compete against them in practice matches. "I love playing as Kohli—his batting style is perfectly replicated!" says a user.
