The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 has gone futuristic with the introduction of a quadruped robot dog as part of its broadcast coverage—leaving fans, players, and commentators both amused and amazed.
The robot was unveiled in a special video shared across the league’s official social media handles, featuring former New Zealand cricketer and fan-favorite commentator Danny Morrison, who introduced the high-tech pup with his trademark humor and energy.
Equipped with surveillance and broadcast camera features, the robotic dog responded to voice commands, waved at the camera, and even participated in a light-hearted foot race with Morrison, who conceded defeat to the agile machine.
The video also featured IPL stars like Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, and Reece Topley, all visibly entertained as they interacted with the robot, watching its movements and responses with childlike curiosity.
In an engaging twist, the IPL has launched a fan contest to name the robot, with Morrison encouraging viewers to submit creative suggestions in the comments. The announcement has already sparked a flood of quirky and clever name ideas from fans across the globe.
With this move, the IPL continues to blend technology with entertainment, offering fans an innovative viewing experience and adding a fun, futuristic twist to the 2025 season.
