Frequently Asked Questions
What is GullyChauka?
GullyChauka is a free, browser-based cricket career simulator. You create a player — choosing nationality, role, dominant hand and squad number — and guide them from grassroots gully cricket trials all the way to world cricket glory. Every match, contract and career decision is simulated by a deterministic game engine, so no two careers play out the same.
Is GullyChauka free to play?
Yes. GullyChauka is completely free to play. There are no downloads, no accounts, no in-app purchases and no advertising. All in-game stats, trophies, contracts and auction valuations are fictional simulation tokens with no real-world monetary value.
Which cricket leagues and tournaments are featured?
GullyChauka features a full career ladder across domestic and international cricket: Indian and Australian first-class championships, T20 franchise leagues including the Premier T20 Cup, Aussie T20 Bash, The Century (100-ball), South Africa T20 Super Series and Pakistan Super T20, and the World Cricket Championship — the game's global pinnacle. Your performance determines which sides scout, select and retain you.
Can I play on mobile or desktop without downloading?
Yes. GullyChauka runs entirely in your browser on desktop, tablet and mobile. There is nothing to install — open gullychauka.com and play instantly. Your career is saved automatically on your device, so you can close the tab and resume where you left off.
How does career progression work?
You start by choosing one of eight roles — from top-order batter to spin bowler — and a career cadence (Intense, Normal or Express) that sets how quickly seasons progress. After grassroots trials, you are drafted into a domestic side. Strong seasons raise your rating and reputation, unlocking franchise contracts and international selection. Each season brings match simulations, selection decisions, contracts and career events that shape your player's trajectory.
Does GullyChauka collect my personal data?
No personal identifiers are required or collected. Your career save, trophy collection and settings live on your own device. The game only collects anonymous, cookieless telemetry (via PostHog EU) to monitor stability and tune simulation balance, fully compliant with India's DPDP Act 2023.
Is GullyChauka affiliated with real cricket boards or leagues?
No. GullyChauka is an independent simulation game. All league systems, player traits, career trajectories and match storylines are fictional and designed purely for entertainment. All player identities, team rosters and narrative scenarios generated in-game are created by the game engine.
