A cricket ID is your personal login on a sports exchange platform. Once you have one, you can see live odds for IPL matches, place back and lay bets as they're happening, and withdraw winnings to your bank account or UPI. It's not a separate app for every match — one ID covers the whole season and every other sport the exchange carries.
People search for "cricket ID" specifically around IPL time because that's when exchange traffic spikes and sign-up queues get longer. Setting yours up before the season starts means you're not waiting around during the opening match.
