Why Your Cricket Handle Matters
“The problem with fantasy cricket on 10 Cric is that your handle is more than just a random assortment of letters and numbers,” said Manisha Chopra, who reports on the application itself.
“Your handle is how others recognize you,” Manisha Chopra continued.
“When you are dominating the leader board because you are the best in the league, that is the handle that people see,” Manisha Chopra added.
“When you make the brilliant captain selection that seals you the win,” Manisha Chopra concluded, “it is your
I've noticed players creating their entire reputation on their handle alone. There is just so much strength in seeing the same name deliver time and time again. It is almost an air of integrity that you build. Guys will respect you before you've even shown them your lineup. This is the strength of having your handle push you on 10 Cric.
What Makes a Handle Worth Remembering
But what, exactly, enters into choosing the good handle? Well, to start with, you have to be able to remember it easily. Yes, x_CricketMaster_420_69_x is definitely provocative, but trust me, you won’t easily be able to recall just who the hell x_CricketMaster_420_69_x is if you're the one who needs to be invited to their league, if you follow my core meaning here.
Be original, because, let’s face the fact, we are all fans of Virat Kohli, but if you are ViratKohli2847, then you are definitely not the most creative guy on the block because there are thousands of others just like you.
The best part about the 10 Cric Fantasy leagues is that you are able to establish your own identity there, so why not leverage that?
Keep your handle reasonably short, too. No one wants to have to read a novel each time they view the leader board. Of course, something between six and fifteen characters will give you the best result. The number will be nice on mobile displays, fit well in the necessary areas, and won’t resemble alphabet soup.
A rather successful way to create a username is to play around with cricket terminology. Churn out words such as 'Bouncer', 'Yorker', 'Googly', or 'Stump.' Start campaign-winning combinations by mixing these with some descriptive words that define your style.
Where you are from will also help spice up your username. You could be from the city with the big cricket fan base, or perhaps you're interested in having your country represented on the 10 Cric community pages. The inclusion of regional attributes will help you create a username that is genuine to you.
"Puns are completely fair play if you can carry them off." A good pun on cricket speak or phrases walks the line between showing you're knowledgeable about the topic, but also able to poke fun at it. The only way you could go wrong is if you're so obscure that you have to explain the pun each time.
The Mistakes You'll Want to Skip
However, let me save you some potential regrets on the matter of having offensive screen names. Trust me, offensive screen names are neither funny, nor are they cool, and are likely to get you banned from 10 Cric before Jasprit Bumrah even delivers the fifth ball of his over.
The other type of username you want to avoid is the super generic one. You're completely forgettable with the name CricketLover476, thanks for the info, CricketLover476—although, personally, I think you're completely different from your username, but who knows? The point is, you could do better than be the username “CricketLover476” in leagues, believe me, you will thank me later
And, please, let’s make sure you can type the name, the way you can utter it, so yourHandle is not something that makes you sound like you are from another world if your mates are going to be mentioning last night’s match.
Try Before You Commit
“The way you reference karma is the same way you'll be referenced one day.” “It is better to be the holder of the karma than the holder of the debt.” The phrases are powerful on their own, but you can also combine them if you think their meaning is better conveyed
Well, here’s a pro tip. Before you finalize your answer on 10 Cric, you should give it some testing. Try saying it out loud. Writing it down. Sending it off in an SMS to some buddy of yours
Consider whether you'll be happy with the name in two or three years. Cricket support is a long journey, believe me. Also, steer clear of anything that is too connected with current memes, current seasons, or current buzz. A name you'll be happy with in the long run is what you need.
Also, you can check if your name is available on other platforms. Although you are currently engaged with 10 Cric, having the same name on different platforms of fantasy cricket websites will help you get discovered easily, apart from shaping your presence on the community, which is always good.
Making It Personal
Your username is the starting point, but there’s much more that can be developed from the name itself aside from the sport of cricket. You perhaps are interested in both cricket and chess. You can perhaps be a teacher who enjoys the sport. You bring your different interests, combine them, and have something all your own, something that is unique that would never be created by another person because of
Some players prefer handles that reflect their play plans. are you the aggressive type, always backing your captains' moves? Or are you the type who favors safer options, with consistent players? Your handle can help reflect these play plans, even the mind games involved in 10 Cric leagues.
You can also include some personal element if you're not afraid to be different. A play on your real name or your nickname, mixed with some cricketing aspects, will give you something that is meaningful to you but also applicable to other players.
The only reason I've had these usernames is because there was already an existing username with my name on the Cricket copyright Web server.
Frequently Asked Questions
“Can I change my handle on 10 Cric once I have created my account?”
Most platforms will have rules on how to go about this. Some platforms will let you change, while others will ask you to pay or won’t let you change them at all. My tip on this is to be careful the first time around to avoid the inconvenience down the line.
Should my username match my team name on 10 Cric?
Not necessarily. Your handle can just be you, while the teams may be more versatile and entertaining to communicate in relation to the play activity itself, some players enjoy linking them, some enjoy having playfully separate communication channels for each one.
What is the importance of the first letter of my handle?
The answer is, to be honest, not really. Of course, there may be some impact on alphabetical organization, but nobody is going to be taking home the banner in their fantasy league because their screen name is A.
Should I go by my real name or an assumed name on 10 Cric?
It depends on the situation you're in.
You're going to play with your real friends in private leagues? Your real name is just fine.
You're going to play in public tournaments or you just want some anonymity? Well, be creative.
There are no right or wrong answers to these questions, just your own preferences.
What if my ideal handle is already taken on 10 Cric?
But just stick some numbers on the end? That's lazy, and you'll be sorry you did that in the long run. Go back to square one, because you'll only regrow some other ideas that will be even better than your first one already is.
