Google Play 2020: Top most popular Android apps, games of the year in India

Microsoft Office and World Cricket Championship 3 - WCC3 emerge Google Play users' choice winners of 2020

As the year draws to a close, Google Play has listed the top most popular games and applications people loved in India. Yes, 2020 was one bizarre year, which no one expected the emergence of Covid-19 from Wuhan who spread around the world to ruin millions of people's health and livelihood.

Many would like to forget soon and look forward to the new 2021 with a hope for better prospects. But, we can't neglect the fact 2020 also brought people closer to each other after a long time. Thanks to lockdown, all including me were able to understand the value of people around us. We got to know more about our loved ones and also, for many bachelors, the long separation made them realise the value of their family members.

Also, Covid-19-induced lockdown also pushed the need for efficient service delivering apps, while OTT (Over-The-Top) streaming apps, Yoga & wellness apps, and gaming applications gave us deserved distraction from the pandemic. So, here is list of all the top apps and games that found their way to people's phones in India.
