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

Check out some super fun moments from T5 Cricket here.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

“When we launched LegalWiz.in back in 2016, concept of procuring legal and compliance services through a digital commerce platform wasn't as prominent in India. eChai played a significant role in providing the early adopters, and building significant positioning in the startup fraternity. Overtime, eChai grew to be a massive network of like-minded entrepreneurs and extended that benefit to all the members in a true "co-rise" spirit. I personally love to attend eChai events, learn from subject matter experts who share relatable and actionable insights and experiences. For startup journeys, it is so important to be surrounded by people who can add relevance, perspective, and push you to do better. Most importantly a group of people where you aren't being judged about things going right or wrong, but be a motivational force that keeps you going, yet keeping you in check. eChai is that place for me!”

"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."

"eChai isn’t just a startup community … it’s a mindset . eChai has been one of the most impactful communities in my entrepreneurial journey. It’s been a turning point . In a world where building something can often feel isolating, eChai gave me a sense of belonging. I’ve found mentors, collaborators, and friends here — people who genuinely want to see you succeed. It’s a space where ideas are challenged, actions are celebrated, and founders grow not just in scale, but in clarity and confidence. From late-night ideas to early-morning pitches, this community has quietly but powerfully shaped the way I build, think, and dream. I’ll always be grateful for the way eChai creates spaces where founders don’t just grow businesses — they grow together."
