Game on

From games on field to the ones online - IPL is taking cricket places. The Kolkata Knight Riders have signed on Zapak Digital Entertainment to develop online games for the franchise's official website. Zapak will develop flash-based games on the team as well as individual players. Rohit Sharma, the chief operating officer for Zapak, said the idea was to create a community feature on the portal. "So we will not only provide games for the Knight Riders but also run contests and other content about the players and the game," he told Business Standard.

The website already offers two games and is expected to launch four to five more in the next two weeks. In all 10 games have been planned.
