T5 Cricket League is an initiative by the eChai Ventures team to bring together startup folks over cricket leagues. 

T5 Cricket is certainly not the new format of Cricket.

Gully cricket has been a massive phenomenon in India and folks have been playing a similar format for ages. 

The founders of eChai Ventures met while playing cricket during engineering days. Cricket has been an integral part of the eChai Story. 

We've been playing box cricket with startup folks for many years. And recently we've started building Startup Sports Network to bring startup folks together over sports. We've added many sports formats and started many city chapters also. 

T5 Cricket League


T5 Cricket League will have company-owned teams or teams consisting of individual startup folks.

The typical format of T5 Cricket Leauge match will look like this:

- 5 overs per innings

- 5 Players per team.

- 1 Power Surge over per innings

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

“eChai has been that turning point in my journey. It gave me a platform when I wasn’t looking for visibility but needed direction. Over the years, it became more than just a network. It became my tribe; a place where conversations sparked collaborations, and strangers became trusted sounding boards. What I value most is how effortlessly eChai brings people together - no airs, no filters, just genuine people with shared dreams. I owe a lot to this community and to Jatin, whose consistency and belief in people have shaped journeys like mine. Forever grateful to be part of something so real.”

"eChai is playing biggest role in my personal and professional life together. Its a community where i meet like minded people to share idea and learn from their idea. Even while playing cricket i learn something and i implement something new from that learning. Its my entry point for building network in different countries where my base is not established yet. Personally my only fun activity day in a week is eChai cricket and social."

What stands out most is the celebration of knowledge, professional growth, and entrepreneurship - it’s one of the best for the Indian ecosystem. Along the way, I’ve also been fortunate to make some great friendships and connections too."
