Many users feel that the game prioritizes ad revenue over enjoyable gameplay, leading to frustration and a diminished overall experience.

“This game is full of advertisement.”

The story aspect of the game, centered around the legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar, is generally well-received, with many players appreciating its engaging narrative and graphics. However, there are significant criticisms regarding gameplay mechanics, difficulty spikes, and the lack of certain features like bowling missions, which detract from the overall experience.

“The storylines and the gameplay are quite awesome.”

“This game is so bad when I play Sachin's story. I complete the task but do not win the level, and when the timing is perfect, it misses or I'm out. I give this game one star; it's very, very bad. Don't install the game; if you have, delete it. It takes too much storage and is not a good game.”
“Worst gameplay in the cricket gaming genre. In story mode, they don't know how to execute the concept properly. Sorry, I will not recommend playing this game.”
