Our Expert Team

Rajesh Kumar

Lead Cricket Analyst

Rajesh is a cricket analyst with over 8 years covering Indian cricket. He writes the explainers on how odds, margins and betting markets are actually constructed, including why the arithmetic runs against the punter over time. He has contributed to sports publications and consulted on domestic cricket data projects. His view is that most people who lose money to these products never had the maths explained to them, and that explaining it plainly is more useful than any tip.

Priya Sharma

Legal & Compliance Expert

Priya Sharma is a former sports law consultant who covers the legal side of online gaming in India. She wrote this site's coverage of the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act, 2025, from what the Act prohibits through to the constitutional challenge still pending before the Supreme Court. Her focus is consumer protection: what the law now says, what happens to people caught mid-transition, and where to get help. She writes explainers, not legal advice, and says so on every page.

Amit Patel

Platform Review Specialist

Amit documents how betting platforms operating in India handled payments, withdrawals and account processes, and how those systems behaved when operators wound down real-money services. His focus now is the practical side of the transition: what stalls a withdrawal, why KYC mismatches block payouts, and how to tell a legitimate support channel from an advance-fee recovery scam.

Deepak Singh

Data & Odds Analyst

Deepak brings a statistics background to cricket analysis. He works on probability, implied odds and the mechanics of how betting markets price an outcome, and writes the explainers on exchanges, liability and where the house margin sits. He is direct about what the numbers show: retail bettors are pricing against professional syndicates with better data, and no staking system converts a negative expected value into a positive one. He would rather readers understood that than believed otherwise.

Rahul Verma

Platform Reviews & Payments

Rahul writes the platform coverage on CricketBetGuides. He documents how the operators Indian users searched for actually worked: how accounts were opened, which payment rails they relied on, how long withdrawals took, and where users most often ran into trouble. Since the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act, 2025 came into force, that work has shifted from assessment to record-keeping. His pages now serve a different purpose: explaining a platform's status, what happened to balances when real-money services closed, and how to recover funds without falling for advance-fee recovery scams.

Priya Nair

Editorial Fact-Checker

Priya is the last read before a page goes live. She checks that every load-bearing claim traces back to something a reader could verify: the gazetted text of an Act, published analysis by Indian counsel, or a named primary source rather than a secondary summary. Her focus is the two areas where being wrong costs readers most, legal status and money. She also writes on responsible play, including the site's guidance on warning signs and Indian helplines.

Arjun Mehta

Match Analysis

Arjun writes the match previews: pitch and conditions, head-to-head records, squad form, and the individual match-ups that tend to decide games. His pieces cover India–Australia ODIs, the IPL playoffs and the World Test Championship final. He writes about cricket rather than wagering. The analysis is there to help readers understand why a match unfolds the way it does, and every preview carries the same caveat: cricket is genuinely unpredictable, and past form guarantees nothing.
