New Delhi, April 13, 2025 — The Indian Premier League (IPL) has introduced a futuristic twist to its broadcast coverage for the 2025 season by unveiling a robotic dog as part of its tech-savvy broadcast team. The quadruped robot was revealed in a special video shared on the league’s official social media handles.
The video featured former New Zealand cricketer and popular IPL commentator Danny Morrison, who presented the robot in his trademark humorous style. Indian cricketers Hardik Pandya and Axar Patel were also seen interacting with the robotic companion, leaving fans both amused and intrigued.
The robot dog, which is expected to play a role in the tournament’s broadcast and fan engagement segments, is yet to be named. In a bid to involve the audience, the IPL has invited fans to suggest names for their new mechanical mascot.
This initiative highlights the league’s continued efforts to integrate advanced technology and interactive experiences into its cricket coverage, setting a new standard in sports entertainment.
