About KPL
Karnataka Premier League is an Indian Twenty20 Cricket League recognized by the
Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) in August, 2009. The domestic cricket
competition was held on the lines of the most trendy Indian Premier League and was
held from September 9, 2009 till September 23, 2009. The league was run under the
guidelines of KSCA president Mr. Srikantadatta Narasimharaja Wadeyar and Mr. Brijesh
Patel, the KSCA Secretary. The league comprised eight franchisee teams representing
various cities in Karnataka.
The idea with the KPL is to ensure that each of the eight teams have their zonal
identities protected just as in the IPL where the city name has to form part of
the team name as a prefix or suffix.

Video Analysis to KPL Teams
The concept of Video Analysis is new but pioneering and effective. A detailed analysis
is made on the technicalities of the players using their videos and by loading them
in the Technique Analysis Software. The coach can guide his players by showing them
the videos and help them in enhancing their performances. The video feedbacks provide
effective solutions and set of parameters for the players to excel well.
During KPL – Season I, SportingMindz offered Video Analysis Services to Six teams
out of Eight teams in total. Out of Six teams to our credit, five teams finished
on the top of the table. There was a Performance Analyst appointed by SportingMindz,
in each team to provide regular inputs, feedbacks to the coaches, players & their
teams about game strategy and performances of the players in all the sectors of
the game.
SportingMindz offered the complete data storage of all the Karnataka Premier League
matches to six teams and provided the information to the respective teams as and
when required. This helped the teams to access not only to the matches played by
that team but also for all the matches in the Karnataka Premier League. The data
was useful for the coaches as well as the players to strategize their game against
the opponents and go on to play better cricket. This also helped the teams to get
valuable inputs about the players.
