DREAM11 VS KHELOO: MAJOR DIFFERENCES
So, in this article we compare these two platforms on many parameters.
1. Start Point
Dream11 is one of the few oldest and first fantasy platforms in India. Dream11was launched in 2008 itself.
Now Kheloo on the other hand is a relatively very new platform and was launched in 2019.
2. User Base

You will be allowed to choose 3-6 batsman in your team on Dream11 where as you are taking here. In Kheloo = 3 Batsmen. This is the same for bowlers.
You can choose between 1 to 4 all-rounders in your Dream11 team. In Kheloo, you can select 1-3 all-rounders.
4. Credit Issues
While Dream11 offers more potential than choosing players, the problem is it costs too much if you plan to form a very strong team.
Kheloo Yes has capped the dynamics of your side slightly, but players are not too expensive and you can even squeeze in most star performers.
5. Deadlines
One thing that is different between the two platforms however match deadlines are.
In the same line, recently Dream11 have changed their registration deadline from one hour before match to official time. Therefore, you can create the team till last second.
Kheloo has giving its users a provision of two options where one is the ‘normal’ deadline and that’s 90 minutes before the scheduled kick off, The other is a ‘safe’ deadline that matches the game’s official tipoff.

MORE DIFFERENCE IN POINTS Not only this, both the platforms give away points differently for almost all aspects of fantasy cricket. Though Dream11 keeps it high scoring but Kheloo likes to keep it subtle.

These types of platforms are almost the same on both:
Practice Contests
Head-To-Head
Private Matches

Grand League
The “beat the expert” contest (where you can play against a cricket player or expert’s team) is probably the main addition that Kheloo has. This is a neat feature, and not available in Dream11

Verdict

However if you are willing to play in a platform which is still infancy but can offer much higher rewards, Kheloo.
Conclusion
You by now must have already made an idea about what all the difference will look like between both of those and its Pros & Cons. In such case, Dream11 and Kheloo have emerged as the top two choices for fans to get rid of stress at work either by office hours or any other reasons.
Dream11 is the most old and trustworthy stage for dream cricket. Generations of million users trust it. But because of this, the competition is very high and you will also face credit issues for playing games. The platform also has a high commission rate.
Kheloo on the other hand has a relatively smaller and newer database. However, it is one of the most rapidly expanding platforms and evolves at an exponential rate. Another reason is that Kheloo can be a lower credit issue, has the lesser amount of commission rate & it also provides other features which Dream11 do not provide.
