Transforming Sports with Real-Time Analytics
On June 7th, 2026, Black Castle Capital Partners will unveil Kabuni, an AI-powered sports technology platform, in Mumbai. This innovative platform aims to revolutionise the sports world by turning real-world play into measurable performance through advanced analytics.
Introducing a new category known as physical eSport, Kabuni captures, analyses, and gamifies real-world performance data. It incorporates proprietary hardware and AI-driven analytics to boost sports coaching and player development.
Before the official launch, Kabuni plans to host a series of exclusive webinars featuring cricket legends Shane Watson and Sourav Ganguly. These webinars, scheduled for May 5th and May 7th, will offer an early glimpse into Kabuni’s technology and its global rollout strategy.
Revolutionizing Sports Coaching
A portable, multi-camera device is at the heart of Kabuni’s system, capturing biomechanics and ball-tracking data in real time. This information is processed through Kabuni’s PlayOS platform, providing structured and competitive gameplay analytics.
Players can engage in meaningful competition during practice sessions through the platform’s K10 format. Real performance data drives rankings and player development, transforming everyday practice into structured competition.
Under the guidance of Shane Watson, a two-time ICC Cricket World Cup winner, and Sourav Ganguly, a former Indian captain, Kabuni’s ‘Supercoach’ model offers digital coaching insights to connect grassroots and professional sports environments.
Kabuni’s launch in India focuses on cricket, aiming to provide structured, data-driven coaching to players at all levels. The technology is designed to expand into other sports such as tennis, golf, and baseball.
The Kabuni device, built for the field instead of the lab, enables instant feedback, transforming every session into structured, actionable intelligence. This real-time analysis allows coaching that was once subjective to become measurable, and performance that once went unnoticed to become visible.
Kabuni’s ecosystem, powered by elite insight, offers a scalable pathway for faster player development, earlier talent identification, and structured global competition. As a result, training evolves from repetitive to competitive, fostering significant advancements in player performance.
Kabuni integrates elite insight through the “Supercoach” model, led by figures like Shane Watson and Sourav Ganguly. Their digital coaching twins provide scalable access to elite-level thinking, bridging the gap between grassroots and professional performance environments.
According to Kabuni, cricket is the world’s second-largest sport, with India at its center. However, access to structured, data-driven coaching remains fragmented. Kabuni changes that by combining AI, biomechanics, and accessible hardware, designed to scale across grassroots players, academies, clubs, and national boards.
