I just hope we carry on the same performance: Rohit Sharma
Mumbai: Having won a thriller against Delhi Daredevils to record their fourth victory on the trot after a shoddy start in the eighth Indian Premier League, Mumbai Indians skipper Rohit Sharma hoped his side would be able to retain the momentum and move forward in the grueling tournament.
“I just hope we carry on the same performance, Leave what has happened behind. We should keep moving forward,” Sharma said at the presentation ceremony after the five wicket victory which propelled the hosts to the fourth position in the table.
Sharma said his boys concentrated on taking every game as it came without bothering about the position in the league table.
“Actually, we kept it very simple and we wanted to win this game. A the same time we wanted to Aconcentrate on the process. We wanted to take every game as it comes, and that’s what we did today. .
” We just want to concentrate on what we can do to win the game. We don’t want to take the extra pressure of what is happening in the league table. Today was a perfect game. Eventually, getting the two points was very important,” said Sharma, who played a part in the side’s triumph by notching up a 37-ball 46 Aand putting on 60 runs for the fifth wicket that rescued Mumbai from a precarious position of 40 for four at the Wankhede stadium. Replying to the visitors’ 152/6, the hosts reached a winning 153/5 in 19.3 overs.
Praising man of the match Harbhajan Singh, who finished with enviable figures of 4-1-11-2. Sharma said the veteran offie “was turning the ball to the left-handed batsman and that was the plan. To give away only 11 runs in four overs and take two wickets was magical”.
Sharma said after losing four wickets upfront, he and Rayudu knew it was important to build a partnership. “And we had a very good partnership and Polly (Kieron Pollard) finished it in the end.”. Pollard remained unbeaten on 26.
Asked about the rain and lighting that caused a couple of stoppages during the Mumbai Indians innings, Sharma said: “To be honest, it (thundershowers) is quite unusual at this time of the year. You have to keep up with the game, that is why I had a piece of paper in my pocket to see where we stood at that point.”
International online casino Casino Days has published a report sharing their internal data on what types and brands of devices are used to play on the platform by users from the South Asian region.
Such aggregate data analyses allow the operator to optimise their website for the brands and models of devices people are actually using.
The insights gained through the research also help Casino Days tailor their services based on the better understanding of their clients and their needs.
Desktops and Tablets Lose the Battle vs Mobile
The primary data samples analysed by Casino Days reveal that mobile connections dominate the market in South Asia and are responsible for a whopping 96.6% of gaming sessions, while computers and tablets have negligible shares of 2.9% and 0.5% respectively.
The authors of the study point out that historically, playing online casino was exclusively done on computers, and attribute thе major shift to mobile that has unfolded over time to the wide spread of cheaper smartphones and mobile data plans in South Asia.
“Some of the reasons behind this massive difference in device type are affordability, technical advantages, as well as cheaper and more obtainable internet plans for mobiles than those for computers,” the researchers comment.
Xiaomi and Vivo Outperform Samsung, Apple Way Down in Rankings
Chinese brands Xiaomi and Vivo were used by 21.9% and 20.79% of Casino Days players from South Asia respectively, and together with the positioned in third place with a 18.1% share South Korean brand Samsung dominate the market among real money gamers in the region.
Cupertino, California-based Apple is way down in seventh with a user share of just 2.29%, overshadowed by Chinese brands Realme (11.43%), OPPO (11.23%), and OnePlus (4.07%).
Huawei is at the very bottom of the chart with a tiny share just below the single percent mark, trailing behind mobile devices by Motorola, Google, and Infinix.
The data on actual phone usage provided by Casino Days, even though limited to the gaming parts of the population of South Asia, paints a different picture from global statistics on smartphone shipments by vendors.
Apple and Samsung have been sharing the worldwide lead for over a decade, while current regional leader Xiaomi secured their third position globally just a couple of years ago.
Striking Android Dominance among South Asian Real Money Gaming Communities
The shifted market share patterns of the world’s top smartphone brands in South Asia observed by the Casino Days research paper reveal a striking dominance of Android devices at the expense of iOS-powered phones.
On the global level, Android enjoys a comfortable lead with a sizable 68.79% share which grows to nearly 79% when we look at the whole continent of Asia. The data on South Asian real money gaming communities suggests that Android’s dominance grows even higher and is north of the 90% mark.
Among the major factors behind these figures, the authors of the study point to the relative affordability of and greater availability of Android devices in the region, especially when manufactured locally in countries like India and Vietnam.
“And, with influencers and tech reviews putting emphasis on Android devices, the choice of mobile phone brand and OS becomes easy; Android has a much wider range of products and caters to the Asian online casino market in ways that Apple can’t due to technical limitations,” the researchers add.
The far better integration achieved by Google Pay compared to its counterpart Apple Pay has also played a crucial role in shaping the existing smartphone market trends.
