Kabuni, an AI-driven sports technology platform, has appointed AB de Villiers, the former captain of South Africa's cricket team, as a Super Coach. This strategic collaboration aims to democratize access to world-class cricket coaching for players at all levels, particularly targeting youth in India. De Villiers joins other notable coaches, including Sourav Ganguly and Shane Watson, to enhance the platform's offerings. Kabuni's technology captures player movements and ball tracking in real time, providing intuitive feedback designed to foster improvement through its '1% improvement' approach. This method encourages players to make small adjustments that lead to significant performance gains over time.

In June, Kabuni will launch a nationwide tournament for Indian players aged 12-16, allowing them to compete for a chance to join de Villiers' team. De Villiers expressed his excitement about the initiative, emphasizing the importance of creativity and freedom in cricket. Kabuni's CEO, Nimesh Patel, highlighted that de Villiers' innovative approach aligns with the platform's goal of empowering players both technically and mentally, ultimately bridging the gap between grassroots participation and elite performance.
