Unprompted 5-star reviews from learners I've taught at Mad About Sports, verified on Trustpilot.
No jargon, no fluff. The actual scope of the role and the kinds of work that fall under it.
Who's building what - franchise analytics teams, broadcasters, fan platforms, scouting tools. Names, not categories.
The people leading analysis at IPL franchises and national setups. How they got there. What's repeatable.
Honest take on the most common question. Which skills actually matter, which are overrated, and how non-tech folks break in.
Concrete steps. Free tools, free data, the first 3 portfolio projects to build, and how to get noticed by the right people.
Issued post-workshop, signed by Cricket Skills Academy. LinkedIn-ready.
3 hours total. The Intro Session is a 1-hour orientation. The Mega Webinar is a 2-hour deep-dive into the industry, the people, and the path-in.
A grounded conversation - what cricket analysts actually do, where the role fits in a team, and the formats / contexts where analysis matters most.
We hand over the workshop video library and a small assignment to work on between the Intro Session and the Mega Webinar. Comes back to a discussion at the start of the Mega Webinar.
We tee up the deeper conversation - the cricket-tech industry, the famous Indian analysts, and the path-in for someone starting from scratch. Live Q&A.
Who's building what. Broadcasters, franchise analytics teams, fan platforms, scouting tools, data vendors. Names, not categories.
A practical look at the day-to-day output - what each kind of company ships, who they ship it to, and how an analyst fits inside the workflow.
Profiles of the people leading analysis at IPL franchises and national setups. How they got there, what they do now, what's repeatable.
Honest answer to the most common question. Which skills actually matter, which are overrated, and how non-tech backgrounds break in successfully.
A concrete step-by-step path. Free tools, free data, the first 3 portfolio projects to build, and how to get noticed by the right people.
In addition to the 2-day live sessions, paid participants get instant access to these 5 self-paced modules in the LMS - built around the calculations and case studies analysts use every day.
The exact NRR formula, how it changes T20 vs ODI vs Test, and how a single misread over can flip a team's qualification.
How DLS revises targets in rain-affected matches. The resource percentage table, the math, and how to recompute by hand.
A real match analysed end-to-end - tagging, reports, the call the coach made off the data, the result.
Another full match dissection - different format, different challenge, same workflow you'd use on Day 1 of a job.
A curated dataset library - ball-by-ball CSVs, scorecards, match-level tables. The raw material for the assignments and your portfolio projects.
Built for people who want to enter cricket analytics seriously - not casually curious.
Final-year sports-science / data students, or fresh grads. You want a domestic-team intern role this year.
Active coaches at school / academy / district level who want to handle their own video and pitch-side stats.
Software engineers, data analysts, or product folks who follow cricket seriously and want into the sport professionally.
You're looking for a "five tips to be an analyst" video. This is structured, assumes you'll do the Intro Session assignment, and is built around real industry context, not generic advice.
A cricket-tech engineer and a working franchise analyst. The industry view plus the day-to-day reality, together in one workshop.

No. We start from zero - what an analyst does, the vocabulary, the workflow. You should follow cricket seriously, though, because all examples are real domestic-game data.
Partly. The core layer is orientation + industry-context + path-in - what cricket analysis is, the companies, the people, and how to kickstart your journey. In the Mega Webinar we also walk through some of the internal tools we've built at KhiladiPro - you'll get to try a few of them - and we'll point you to the specific software you should explore on your own (free and paid). You don't need to buy anything before the workshop. Just bring the small Intro Session assignment, completed before the Mega Webinar.
No. We answer this question directly in the Mega Webinar. Plenty of working analysts in India come from non-tech backgrounds. We'll cover what skills actually matter and how non-tech folks make the jump.
No. The workshop is live on Zoom - anyone in any timezone with a stable connection is welcome. The industry and career-path examples are India-focused, but the framing is useful for anyone considering cricket analysis as a career.
No recordings are shared - this workshop is fully live, and a big part of the value is the Q&A, the conversation, and discussing your starter assignment together. If a genuine emergency comes up, drop us a note and we'll move you to the next batch (one switch only).
Not formal placement - that's not honest to promise. But we do introductions for the strongest students into our network of state associations, IPL franchises, and analytics firms. Past learners have moved into domestic teams this way.
Full refund up to 24 hours before the Intro Session starts. After that, your seat is locked - the workshop is live-only with no recordings, so plan to attend both sessions live. Refund policy.
2 days, live. The industry mapped, the people profiled, the path-in explained. Taught by an engineer who actually ships cricket analytics in production.
