Here's an English explanation of "Casino Royale" in the context of Indian cricket games and rules:
Title: "Casino Royale" in Indian Cricket: A Comprehensive Guide
1. Definition & Origin
"Casino Royale" is a specialized cricket format popularized in Indian domestic cricket, particularly in state tournaments and corporate leagues. Originating from Maharashtra and later adopted nationally, it combines elements of T20 and Test cricket with unique betting-inspired rules.
2. Core Rules
Match Structure:
120 balls per side (20 overs + 40 "Casino Overs")
Final 40 balls operate like a "betting round" with:
6 runs = 1 point (base)
4 runs = 0.5 points
Wickets = -1 point
No-balls/strike rate bonuses
Scoring System:
Traditional runs + Casino Points = Total Score
Example: 150 runs + 25 points = 175 total
3. Strategic Nuances
Powerplay Adaptation: First 5 overs remain conventional T20
Wicket Sensitivity: Each wicket lost deducts 2 points from total
Target Calculation: Teams must declare before last 10 overs
4. Historical Context
First recorded in 2012 Maharashtra Premier League
Popularized by Mumbai-based "Casino Cricket Club"
Adopted by BCCI for some Ranji Trophy trials (2018)
