Great question! AI is making a huge impact in cricket, and it’s being used across multiple areas both on and off the field. Here’s a breakdown of the most used parts of AI in cricket:
1. Player Performance Analysis
AI is used to track and analyze player movements, batting angles, bowling speeds, shot placements, etc. Coaches use this data to improve player strategies.
- Tools Used: Hawk-Eye, computer vision, motion tracking
- Purpose: Skill improvement, injury prevention, form analysis
2. Match Prediction & Strategy
AI models analyze past games, player stats, pitch conditions, and weather to predict match outcomes or recommend strategies.
- Used by: Teams, commentators, fantasy leagues
- AI Tasks: Win probability, score prediction, matchup analysis
3. Umpiring Decisions (DRS Technology)
AI assists in accurate decisions using:
- Ball tracking (e.g. Hawk-Eye for LBW calls)
- Edge detection (e.g. UltraEdge or Snickometer)
- Hotspot technology (thermal imaging for bat-ball contact)
4. Fan Engagement
AI creates personalized content, auto-generated highlights, or even AI commentators.
- Examples: ChatGPT-powered cricket chatbots, fantasy league tips, AI video highlights
5. Scouting and Talent Identification
AI tools analyze domestic and junior-level cricket footage to identify emerging talent by comparing their stats with pros.
6. Injury Management and Fitness Monitoring
AI wearable devices collect data on player movement, workload, and stress levels to prevent overtraining and injuries.
7. Broadcast & Visual Enhancements
AI helps broadcasters with real-time stats, automatic camera switching, and graphical overlays during matches.
