Tech giant Microsoft have teamed with Anil Kumble and his technology startup Spektacom Technologies, with support from broadcast partner Star India to announce the launch of the Power Bat – a new ‘revolutionary’ fan engagement technology in cricket.
The Power Bat provides players, coaches, commentators, fans and viewers with a completely new and unique way to engage with the sport and help improve their game — all powered by the Microsoft Azure cloud platform using AI and Internet of Things (IoT) services.
Microsoft has been working closely with Spektacom and its founder Anil Kumble, former Indian cricket team captain, to incubate and launch the product, as part of its ScaleUp program. Leading sports broadcaster Star India has used the technology successfully in recent series to provide real-time statistics and insights straight off the oval.
