Bat Bonkers

Bat Bonkers is crazy 3D street cricket played between colourful houses, bunting and washing lines, on rooftop turfs, beaches, farms and a local stadium. Bat from behind the batter like the big console games, time your shots and smash the ball with a cricket bat, a baseball bat, a hockey stick, a boat oar, a giant lollipop, mummy’s belan or the golden Bajrang Gada.

Pick where to hit on the field map, choose along the ground or in the air, and time your swing as the ball arrives. Your batter plays 17 real strokes, from cover drives, pulls and cuts to sweeps, scoops and the helicopter. Hit it over the far wall for SIX, but watch out: break a window, lose the ball on a roof or get caught on the full, and you’re out under gully rules.

Features

Quick Play: pick the ground and the overs (1 to 20); a rival team puts up a total that gets bigger as your players’ ratings and your win record improve, and you chase it

Match vs AI: pick your team, call the toss, bat first or field first. Formats: 1 to 10 overs, T20, ODI (50 overs) and TEST (two innings each, declare, win by an innings), all out or 1-5 wickets. You always bat; the rival’s innings is played out automatically ball by ball from both teams’ player stats. Their bowlers learn how you bat and set the field

Tournaments with your team (up to T20 and ODI 50-over fixtures): points table, a final, other fixtures simulated ball by ball, and tournament stats (top run-scorers, wicket-takers, sixes); you only ever play as your own team: every rival and every other tournament fixture is automatic

Pick the ground before every game, 10 places: gully lane, home aangan (3 a side), motor garage, rooftop, society parking, khet (farm), beach, village maidan, railway ground and the local stadium (11 a side). The size of the place decides how many play

Turn the house rules on or off: window = out, roof = out, six and out, no runs behind, LBW and more (catches always follow the real law: on the full only)

Run between the wickets, beat the fielders’ throws and survive run-outs

Crazy bats from cheap to very expensive: Mummy’s Belan, Lollipop Bat, Boat Oar, Baseball Bat, Hockey Stick, Bajrang Gada, Golden Bat, Rainbow Thunder Bat and real cricket bats (better bats hit a little harder)

Ball designs: taped tennis ball, red, white and pink leather, mini football, watermelon, rainbow, fireball and golden ball

Build your village: rename players and dress them up from the store (shirts, shorts, shoes, caps, bats and balls)

Player skills that level up, daily challenges with a streak, 15 trophies and a leaderboard

Morning, evening and night games, monsoon rain, dusty and green pitches, 5 camera angles

No commentary, just the ground: kids shouting and appealing in the gullies, a roaring crowd, claps, whistles and the dhol in the stadium

Live weather: sunny, overcast (the ball swings), windy (lofted shots drift) and rain (the ball skids on); drinks and rain breaks

Real scorecards: batting, bowling figures, fall of wickets, partnerships, run rate and required rate

Broadcast-style score graphics (TV look in the stadium) with a speed gun, both batters, the bowler’s figures and the partnership always on screen

Player of the Match after every game, plus top scorer, best bowling, most sixes, most fours and fastest scorer; career Player of the Match awards on every player card and on the leaderboard

The rival captain changes the field every over and sometimes mid-over: attacking rings for a new batter, men back on the rope in a big chase, traps where you score

Your own club: choose your team, set the batting order and bench, add teams, recruit players from other villages, and hire the best youngsters from the simulated club trials leaderboard

Every player has career stats (30s, 50s, 100s, average, strike rate, wickets, economy, best figures) and a confidence score that changes how well they play

LBW, run CANCEL, LED stumps that light up, fielders who mob the bowler after a wicket, fireworks for big moments

Move in the crease (a little left / right, forward for the front foot, back for the back foot) and batters get tired in long innings: drinks breaks on the big grounds, and in the gully mummy brings out a tray of Tang

Be one of the players yourself: pick “me” and your own team; your player opens the batting

Close the game mid-match and pick it up later exactly where you left it (RESUME on the home screen)

Two batsman styles: PRO (helmet and pads) or CLASSIC street kid in your team kit
