00:00Imagine one day you're betting in a high-stakes cricket game and AI already tells you how many
00:06sixes and fours you're likely to hit. Technology is transforming sports worldwide and now cricket
00:13is in the game. For now, mostly in training though, here's how. Several UK teams are already
00:18working with smart cricket balls equipped with chips. Surrounded by sensors in the nets,
00:23they collect data on bat speed, ball speed and trajectory. AI is also being used to
00:29simulate real match scenarios during training. Even specific moments can be recreated, helping
00:35players fine-tune their performance. Some systems can even predict the outcome of every shot.
00:40For young players, this can be a new way to experiment, learn and improve. Teams are also
00:46thinking about using this technology for talent scouting by tracking and comparing player performance.
00:53Still, critics argue that AI could remove the element of surprise in sports, making games
00:58more calculated and less emotional. But the trend is already gaining momentum with AI used in football,
01:04tennis and many other sports. What do you think? Should cricket teams turn to AI?
