Two different kinds of cricket game

Hitwicket Superstars asks you to be owner, captain and coach: bid at auctions, train players and plan match strategy. It is closer to a manager game than an action game.

RCL is the opposite: you play the shots. Timing, direction and shot type decide each delivery.

Can you play both?

Yes. Many players enjoy a manager game for the long run and an action game for quick sessions. Both are free to download.

What RCL does not do

RCL has no player auctions or training trees, and no online duels at launch. It has five formats, World Cup and T20 League modes, Challenges and Super Overs.
