Artificial intelligence-powered tool, ‘Superstats’ by Indian Institute of Technology Madras and ESPNcricinfo is enhancing the experience of Indian Premier League (IPL) matches for its fan by providing a context to every game event in a game and also provides insights into factors such as ‘luck.’ It uses data science to enable the same.

Superstats takes into account the context of every performance, batting and bowling. Context includes pitch conditions, quality of opposition, and match situation – in terms of the pressure on the player.

The AI Engine leverages the rich data collected from over a decade-old ESPNcricinfo’s ball-by-ball updates. The work was led by Prof. Raghunathan Rengaswamy and Prof. Mahesh Panchagnula of IIT Madras along with the ESPNcricinfo team.
