Cricbuzz: A Global Hub for Cricket News and Live Coverage
Cricbuzz is a premier cricket news website and mobile application owned by Times Internet, offering comprehensive live coverage of matches, news, articles, videos, player statistics, and team rankings. Founded in 2004 by Pankaj Chhaparwal, Piyush Agrawal, and Pravin Hegde, it rapidly grew into a leading platform for cricket enthusiasts worldwide.
In November 2014, Times Internet acquired a majority stake in Cricbuzz, which subsequently merged with its GoCricket platform in January 2015, expanding its reach significantly. The platform boasts immense popularity, with over 100 million mobile app downloads by February 2022 and more than 50 million users globally, generating billions of page views. Renowned commentator Harsha Bhogle joined as 'Voice of Cricket' in September 2016, further enhancing its content. Most recently, in April 2024, Cricbuzz integrated the Willow streaming service in the US and Canada, rebranding it as "Willow by Cricbuzz" to offer premium subscription content directly within its app.
