MyTeam11 launches knowledge-based MyTeam11 Quiz
MUMBAI: Fantasy sports platform MyTeam11, with a user base of over 15 million users, today launched MyTeam11 Quiz, a one-of-a-kind, knowledge-based sports quiz contest for sports fans.
With the addition of MyTeam11 Quiz, the fantasy gaming giant also becomes the first fantasy sports platform in the industry to offer knowledge-based online competition.
MyTeam11 Quiz will be hosted on the MyTeam11 application comprising hourly competitions in a 10-question format on a daily basis, primarily testing a sports lover’s knowledge in various sports. The uniqueness about this quiz would be that winners apart from showcasing their in-depth knowledge in sports would also stand a chance to earn real cash rewards. Old users can access the daily quiz contests on their dashboard while new users can sign in by downloading the application from the website or app store.
MyTeam11 COO-co-founder Sanjit Sihag said: “Our users are ardent sports lovers who have high technical understanding and knowledge about their games. At a time when LIVE sports are suspended globally because of COVID-19, it was important for us to provide them with enough reasons to keep their minds engaged and sports quiz rightfully fits the bill.”
He further added: “Quizzing is a passion for many and I am confident that this will not only interest the ardent fantasy gamers but also attract a large sports-loving audience across the length and breadth of the country who like stimulating their brains using their knowledge in sports. As we progress we will also add other genres to diversify the quiz content and increase the mass appeal of the product.”
MyTeam11 is already the home for six major fantasy sports like cricket, Kabaddi, volleyball, basketball, football and hockey, the latest addition to the bouquet. The launch of MyTeam11 Quiz comes as the second major announcement by the brand after it launched SportsTiger, a multi-sport aggregator in February.

Samay Raina confirms return of India’s Got Latent after controversy
Still Alive mixes humour and reflection as comedian revisits 2025 row
MUMBAI: Samay Raina has signalled a possible return of his controversial show India’s Got Latent, using his latest stand-up special Still Alive to address the past and hint at what lies ahead.
Released on YouTube, the special marks Raina’s most candid take yet on the backlash that forced the show off air in 2025. While much of the performance leans on humour, it also dips into more reflective territory, offering a glimpse into the emotional toll of the controversy.
Recounting the fallout, YouTube comedian samay raina said, “We were both extremely unsettled. How would we navigate this? It was terrifying. We were lost as to what was happening.” He also spoke about a moment involving fellow comedian Balraj Ghai’s family, describing it as overwhelming and difficult to process.
The personal impact of the episode came through most strongly when Raina spoke about his family. He admitted he struggled to even answer a call from his mother during the crisis. YouTube comedian samay raina said, “I hesitated to answer her call and show my tear-streaked face. How would she react? My mom is unaware of anything except how to love.”
Amid the introspection, Raina also dropped a clear hint about the future of his show. While he believes the first season ended on a high note, he confirmed that he intends to revive it. YouTube comedian samay raina said, “I will bring back the show because it used to be fun making it.”
The original run of India’s Got Latent had been pulled down following widespread criticism and legal scrutiny over controversial remarks that went viral, prompting debates around content boundaries in India’s digital entertainment space. Raina later removed episodes and issued an apology, stepping back from major releases for a period.
His return now appears more measured, blending humour with reflection and signalling a creative reset. He also hinted that the next iteration of the show could be more raw and unfiltered, though details remain under wraps.
For fans, the takeaway is simple. The show that sparked both laughter and debate may be gearing up for a second act, with Raina ready to test the limits once again, this time with a sharper sense of where the lines lie.
