AI Analytics Changing Batting Techniques
Team India’s batting coach Vikram Rathour is using CricketMind AI software that costs ₹2.5 lakh annually. The system tracks every shot played by players like Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal during practice sessions.
Honestly yaar, the technology identifies weak zones within seconds. Players get real-time feedback about their foot placement, bat swing speed, and timing accuracy. Mumbai Indians spent ₹50 lakh on this tech for IPL 2026.
- Shot accuracy analysis – 99.2% precision rate
- Weakness detection in under 10 deliveries
- Personalized training modules for each player
- Integration with VR batting simulators
Smart Sensor Bats Taking Over Cricket
SG and SS cricket bat manufacturers launched sensor-embedded bats priced at ₹35,000 each. These smart bats measure impact force, sweet spot contact, and bat speed during every shot. Rishabh Pant has been using SG’s TechBat Pro since January 2026.
The sensors connect to smartphones via Bluetooth, showing detailed statistics on the CricketStats app. Delhi cricket academies in Feroz Shah Kotla and Arun Jaitley Stadium are making these mandatory for advanced training programs.
Mujhe lagta hai this is the future bhai. Players can track their improvement daily instead of relying on coach observations alone.
VR Batting Training in Indian Academies
Bangalore’s National Cricket Academy installed 8 VR batting simulators worth ₹12 lakh each in March 2026. Players wear Oculus headsets to face virtual bowlers like Jasprit Bumrah, Pat Cummins, and Mitchell Starc.
Chennai Super Kings set up similar VR zones at MA Chidambaram Stadium, charging ₹500 per 30-minute session for amateur players. The technology lets batsmen practice against different bowling styles without needing actual bowlers.

Future of Digital Batting Training
Cricket coaching institutes in Pune, Hyderabad, and Kolkata are adopting motion capture technology used in Hollywood movies. The system costs ₹8 lakh but provides precise biomechanical analysis of batting techniques.
Honestly, watching young cricketers train with this tech is amazing yaar. They’re learning faster and making fewer technical errors compared to traditional coaching methods.
Technology ka impact cricket mein bilkul clear hai. From grassroots academies charging ₹5,000 monthly fees to international players spending lakhs on personal tech coaches, batting has become a data-driven skill in 2026.
