CRICKET PLAYER, KL Rahul, has joined the batting analytics platform str8bat as a brand ambassador, launching the KLR1 x str8bat kit. This AI-powered batting kit provides cricketers with access to Rahul’s batting philosophy, preparation routines, and technical approach through a GenAI-powered platform.
The platform’s core metric, Power Score, is built from bat speed, impact speed, sweet spot percentage, and timing index, giving players a single trackable number that reflects their batting over time. Players receive feedback personalised to their own data rather than generic coaching advice.
The str8bat sensor attaches directly to the bat without altering its balance or feel, tracking bat speed, bat path, timing efficiency, impact zones, and shot execution with no cameras or wearables involved. The platform currently has over 25,000 users globally and has partnerships with Cricket Australia, Rajasthan Royals, and academies across India. Str8bat is expanding into 10 cricket markets, including India, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, the UK, the US, Canada, and the Caribbean.
