    Indian Premier League: As the Indian Premier League (IPL) continues to captivate millions across the country, a concerning trend is growing in its shadow — the increasing influence of online betting and 'so-called fantasy platforms', often endorsed by some of the biggest names in cricket.

    From bustling metros to small towns, teenagers and young adults are falling prey to fantasy gaming and betting apps, drawn in by the lure of easy money and glitzy celebrity endorsements. The fallout is visible: financial distress, academic decline, and growing mental health struggles.
