Problem Statement
Cricket generates a massive amount of data—player stats, team stats, commentary, video feeds, 20+ camera angles for every ball and shot, fielder placements, player speeds, match conditions, ground records, individual player ground performance, and more. But there’s a big gap in how we process all this information to create strategies that actually help teams win matches.
Winning in cricket isn’t just about the 11 players on the field. It’s also about the coaches, analysts, and everyone else behind the scenes contributing to the team’s success. The IPL, as the world’s biggest cricket tournament, is more than just a game; it’s like a two-and-a-half-month festival in India. Fans are deeply invested, and everyone wants their team to win. That’s where we come in—using data to give teams a real competitive edge. It’s similar to what F1 does, where technology and human skill combine seamlessly to deliver victories. That’s the level of impact we’re aiming for.
Reflection
This project has the potential to be a game-changer for sports analytics in India, especially for cricket. It’s exciting to think about how data and technology can enhance human performance and deliver better results on the field. The insights we’re creating can help teams strategize smarter, perform better, and ultimately win more games.
