Top 10 Technology Used in Cricket

There are many teams in Cricket like India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Ireland, Sri Lanka, Australia, South Africa, England, New Zealand, Zimbabwe, West Indies. There are many changes done in technology in cricket every year.

New rules are replaced instead of old rules. Because of which, sometimes mistakes in cricket matches are made. To improve these mistakes, cricket boards are now using new technology in cricket like:-

1. Stump Camera

The camera is placed between the stumps in the pitch. Apart from this, a speaker is pressed into the ground behind the stump. With the help of this, the right decision can be taken when run out or stumping.

Or if the ball collides with a stump directly or from the hand of the player, then umpire gets to know and the speaker behind the stump gets to know about the batsman out or not out.

2. Snickometer

This technique work on the sounds. When the ball is dropped off by the bowler and touch to the pitch and finally hit by the batsman, the sound is recorded by Snickometer. Many times when the ball passes very close to the bat, then this technology is very useful. If the ball is slightly touched with the bat, the Snickometer shows it.

3. Ball Spin RPM

These techniques are specially used for spinners. How much does the spin bowler turn the ball? How much swipe is done after leaving the ball by bowler? It tells according to the minute. Because of these techniques we know the rotation of the ball on the TV.

4. Hawk-Eye

Hawk's eye is useful to take the decision of LBW. This shows that the ball is going to the stump or out of the stump. To execute this, 6 cameras are installed.

When the bowler does the bowling, then these 6 cameras track the way of the ball and creates 6 different 3D images, then they make a decision and then give the result. This work happens in seconds.

5. Pitch Vision

From Pitch's vision, it shows which batsmen have played which ball and where. Also, where and which bowler has done bowling. With this technique, every ball thrown in the match is monitored.

It also helps to know the strength and weakness of both the batsmen and the bowler. Because of this, both the batsmen and the bowler can improve their work.

6. Spider cam and Drone

In the match, you must have seen the camera like lanterns several times. These cameras are called spider cam and you already know about the drone, the flying camera. Nowadays they are also being used in cricket.

Its work is to keep an eye on the cricket match. They can move from place to another place with the help of cable and wire, and also show the review of six and fourth shot.

7. LED Stumps Bails

These LED Stumps bails are placed on both sides of stumps. These are the led stumps. Because of their very high prices, they are used in special matches such as the World Cup.

The special features of these LED stump bails are that when ball touches the stump it starts lighting. From this, the decision of stumping made easier.

8. Umpire Camera

You might be surprised to know that the caps which are carried by umpire also have a camera. It is used so that umpire in the field can clearly get the review.

You might have seen many times that when the ball passes near the umpire, it is shown very clearly because of the camera in the cap of the umpire is amazing.

9. Graphics Package

The scoreboard which is shown on the TV is made from the graphics package. In these special packages are made for every match. This graphics package gives the information to the viewer about the score of the match, the record of batsmen, the information about the player.

All of these are packaged in the Graphics package. Which are shown in the form of the scoreboard in front of the viewers when needed.

10. HotSpot

This is a technique in which the review is blackened. If the ball touches the bat, it becomes a white spot. Which shows that the ball touches which part of the bat.
