5 most iconic cricket video games of all time

#3 Cricket Revolution

Formulated by Pakistan's Mindstorm Studios, this game was relatively low-profile in its origins but turned out to be one of the most promising in its category. Unlike the previous two, Cricket Revolution provided a proper cricket experience and had its creators had a better financial backing, they could have made it truly the best cricket game of all time.

It had everything cricket games in the past like Ashes Cricket and Brian Lara International Cricket lacked in terms of the deficient gameplay, providing features like the ability to place the ball into the gaps, "adrenaline" and "settled" levels for the bowlers and batsmen respectively to indicate their mindset and the corresponding reflection in immediate performance.

What it lacked was the licensed player likeness rights which meant that the creators went ahead with entirely fictional squads, other shortcomings were the absence of Test and domestic cricket and a much-required autoplay mode (because let's face it, nobody likes taking the field and putting up with 300 balls of oppositions' batting). For those, however, the game made up for with an online mode, which enabled PvP contests, both over LAN and through Mindstorm's servers.
