Gods of Cricket - Streetz
Reimagining Street Cricket as an Arcade Experience
During my work on Gods of Cricket: Streetz, I set out to transform the raw energy of gully cricket into an electrifying arcade sports experience. The project challenged me to break free from traditional cricket game conventions while honoring the improvisational spirit of street cricket that millions grow up playing.
