How data analytics has transformed cricket
I've never been much of a sports viewer, but headlines have always been my hook. So, while the records Sri Lankan bowler Muttiah Muralitharan set in the 1990s and 2000s meant little to me, I was absorbed by the news reports of the three rounds of biomechanical testing he underwent to prove that his 'doosra' wasn't bending the rules. I still have no idea how many wickets he took, but I do remember that the machine took 250 photos per second and provided a 3D rendering of his bowling action. It seemed so cutting-edge, so unprecedented, so automated a way to measure what I'd always thought was a matter of personal skill and achievement. It was among the early demonstrations of data analysis in sports, and I, for one, had never seen anything like it. Now of course, we all have all sorts of trackers strapped to our wrists to tell us how much energy we've expended walking to the fridge for a snack. Naturally, then, for professional athletes, data gathering is at a whole other level with tracking software and machine learning transforming the game. Data analysts are now integral to sports teams, generating statistical breakdowns to explain ball speeds, angles of delivery and each player's strengths and weaknesses. Coaches don't just impart wisdom and technique, they optimise play based on these analyses. We take a deep dive into the world of cricket analytics, which has not only changed the way athletes perform but also how teams are picked, and the ways fans watch the sport. We don't just support a home team or fall in love with a player's form and grace anymore; we pick and choose depending on projections that give the likelihood of success. Even in fantasy leagues, it's data that's the MVP. The print issue of Mint Lounge dated 31 May 2025, which takes a deep dive into the world of cricket analytics. Look around you—a small doll with a mischievous smile might be strapped to a bag. They're called labubus and are trending world over. Even mobile phones are getting more personality thanks to anime-inspired charm bracelets and covers. Fashion is tapping into 'toycore"—the marriage of fashion and cuddlies. Pooja Singh unpacks the somewhat bizarre toycore trend that is a throwback to a lost childhood. The Assassin's Creed franchise is among the world's most popular games, giving players the experience of an open world, close links to actual historical events, and a narration that connects the protagonists of each game. Now, Assassin's Creed Shadows takes all these elements to give fans a setting that many had demanded—medieval Japan. Shouvik Das dives into the immersive world of Assassin's Creed Shadows, where players navigate a beautifully crafted medieval Japan and lose themselves in the intricate storyline. The drying of mahua flowers and the liquor-making process that follows is an age-old practice in Madhya Pradesh, but there's more to this indigenous flower than spirits. The juice can be turned into flavourful syrups and pulps that make great replacements for maple syrup, white sugar and other imported or processed sweeteners. Pastry chef Bani Nanda travelled in Madhya Pradesh to learn all about 'mahua', and she writes about the process of creating liquor and syrup and the ideas it sparked for new pastries and cakes. Back in Delhi, she experimented with the dried mahua flowers, mahua liquor and mahua syrup she brought back to create a beautiful entremet with mahua syrup sponge, chironji praline, salted caramel and mahua ganache. Microsoft laid off about 6,000 employees earlier this month; the US government has fired more than 600,000 staff this year. Most forecasts indicate lay-offs will continue, with greater incursion of AI into spheres that were dependent on human skills. This has an outsized impact on the morale of professionals, who left high and dry, or teetering on the edge, vulnerable to being fired any day. Being laid off is, needless to say, tragic, but it's also hard for those who have to do the dirty job of firing people. The middle managers and human resources executives who have to be the bearers of bad news become collateral damage in the process, writes Somak Ghoshal, while offering some suggestions about delivering bad news with grace and empathy. Fans of Lego, the popular building sets, travel the world in search of new sets and unusual pieces—but the Danish toy company has finally opened a store in India, in Gurugram. Spanning 4,500 square feet, it is the brand's largest store in South Asia and has everything from the Friends and Icons to the Technic and the Botanicals collections as well as fully built sets on display and play tables, and other popular features for adult fans of Lego. The store seems all set to become a place for fans of the popular building sets to congregate, build, and create a community, writes Tushar Kanwar, a lifelong Lego fan who has got his young daughter hooked to the toys.

Assassin's Creed Shadows review: Vast and beautiful, with a story mode
Among all of the world's most popular games, Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed franchise is one of the most recognizable names globally. By itself, the lore created by this 18-year-old game series has been a landmark experience in gaming—giving players the experience of an open world that can be explored freely, close links to actual historical events in its storyline, and a narration that connects the protagonists of each game with multiple previous ones. Now, Assassin's Creed Shadows takes all of these elements to give fans of its franchise a setting that many forums had demanded for years—medieval Japan. Straight off the bat, Assassin's Creed Shadows does a fantastic job of recreating Japan in the late-1570s. This is not just because of the visuals, which are undoubtedly poignant, realistic and befitting of the game's set-up—the design of the terrain's layout, including the hideouts and the strategically placed side quests alongside the 22 main mission levels, actually makes Assassin's Creed Shadows a title that gamers can continue to explore well beyond finishing the main storyline. For those without prior context: this is the 14th game in the 18-year history of Ubisoft making Assassin's Creed. The plot is simple: players don the shields and armours of a fictional member of the ancient Order of the Assassins—dropped in the game within real historical context and events. The goal is largely to defeat an opposing faction—for the most part, the Knights Templar that sought to establish order in medieval and ancient societies with an iron fist. But through this journey, the game has evolved to offer historical clues for players, including links and tributes to older games within the main game itself. Also read: Inside India's first Lego store in Gurugram Assassin's Creed Shadows, too, has the same spirit. You play either as Yasuke, a former imprisoned slave, or Naoe—the daughter of master assassin Tsuyu and Nagato, a leading member of the resistance faction Iga ikki. Both the characters have their strengths and limitations—Yasuke is a humongous force of nature, capable of breaking down doors with sprints and going on a rampage as enemy numbers escalate. Naoe, meanwhile, is ideal for stealth and swift assassinations—throughout the game, you'd often find Naoe's nimble-footed approach to be ideal. As you set off in the game, you realize that the storylines and character developments have still remained one of Ubisoft's biggest strengths, making Assassin's Creed Shadows stand on the same podium as some of the world's best third-person role-playing narrative-driven games—such as The Witcher, The Last of Us, Uncharted and Control. You get absorbed with Naoe's predicament, and you find Yasuke's journey a fulfilling one as you progress through the game. It's important to note here that as you progress in the game, choosing the normal and expert difficulty settings will need you to invest heavily in upgrading your gear, attire and weaponry. If you're not a hardcore gamer and would rather enjoy the game's story, there is a 'story' mode where the combat is toned down to the bare minimum, with protagonists barely ever taking a hit. What's interesting is that even in the story mode, Ubisoft has ensured that players stay immersed enough in tactical movement and swift combat to get the most of the ideal experience of Assassin's Creed Shadows. But, the presence of such a mode increases the appeal for such a game with those who do not want to go into extreme levels of combat. Back to the story, though, and about halfway through the game, you realize just how massive the world of Shadows really is. For the average casual gamer playing about two hours a day, it took almost a full month to finish the main story levels of Assassin's Creed Shadows. With side quests and additionally discoverable regions to explore, it can easily take up to three months to really straddle the full expanse of the game. As you go through the game, you can't help but feel that the exchange of dialogues and the narrative stretches on for a bit too long. While most combats are nearly ideal, some design elements interfere with the smoothness of the gameplay—in certain battles for instance, Yasuke's weight and armour levels just do not come through. Such glitches can become increasingly frustrating, especially since after a point, you tend to feel that even the story is rather loose, and should have been much crisper to let the game's open world shine through more. The present-day binding narrative, which plays right at the onset to set you up for the game, also feels rather forced—surely, there could've been a better way to establish context and history to the assassin's journey. That said, Assassin's Creed Shadows put forth a glorious insight into just how fun this game series always was, and in many ways, continues to be. It may come across as tedious, and those who are not good at combat-and-stealth gameplay may even struggle to finish it or continue beyond a point. But, perseverance lets you discover various parts of medieval Japan where the sights are gorgeous, and getting to the top of the pole still gives you the 'master of the world' appeal that has remained intact since the very first of this series. Is it worth playing, then? Definitely. Assassin's Creed Shadows' biggest 'fault' per se is in just how big the game is—and that's not necessarily bad for those at whom the game is aimed at. Is it the best that the series has offered to date? Based on pure visuals, some would certainly say so. Played on: Xbox Series S; Price: ₹4999 onward; Developer and publisher: Ubisoft.

Travelling levels up with ravelling levels up with gaming-inspired getaways
It's game on for travellers as video games emerge as major sources of wanderlust. According to a Skyscanner report, 88 per cent of Indian travellers say locations in their favourite video games motivate them to book international trips. But beyond virtual inspiration, gaming conventions are also emerging as significant travel drivers. This intersection of gaming and travel has resulted in the emergence of 'gami-vacations'. The rise of gami-vacations, or gaming-inspired getaways, also aligns with a growing desire for exploration among Indian travellers. Mohit Joshi, travel and destination expert at Skyscanner India, notes, 'With 66 per cent of Indians planning to travel more in 2025, global exploration is a top priority as they seek out destinations that offer enriching experiences. Indian travellers are not just exploring new destinations; they're seeking meaningful and collective travel experiences.' What is a gami-vacation? 'Gami-vacation' is a term coined to describe travel experiences that combine the excitement of traditional travel with interactive elements and concepts drawn from video games. When virtual worlds spark real wanderlust For a growing number of Indian travellers, the immersive worlds of video games are sparking a desire to explore real-life destinations. 'Being an introvert, Death Stranding became an escape for me. Hideo Kojima's beautiful depiction of Icelandic landscapes resonated deeply, and I longed to visit. Last year, I booked a trip to Iceland,' says Vishnu Nair, a gamer from Mumbai. Aditya, a lawyer based in Delhi, shares, 'When I got the opportunity to go to Europe, I made sure to include the whole city of Rome and Amsterdam in my itinerary because of Assassin's Creed. Ubisoft is known for making the historical locations as accurate as possible to real life, so I knew that the places I'd visit in Rome will be accurate. I visited the Colosseum, Pantheon and Castel Sant'angelo, which are all featured in the game — and it felt very familiar.' With India's gaming industry expected to reach `32,472 crores by year-end, gaminginspired vacations are gaining serious traction, giving rise to trips that include VR previews, game-inspired locations, AR city walks, themed stays, eSports tournaments, and meetups with popular streamers Rikant Pittie, CEO and co-founder, EaseMyTrip 'Gaming events emerge as key travel motivators' Sundarraman Ramalingam, India Manager, Niantic Inc., notes that location-based gaming and eSports events are not only driving travel but are also major contributors to it. 'Last year in Bengaluru, Pokémon Go launched an event attracting attendees from as far as Germany and Japan for the chance to catch Pikachu. Typically, over 80 per cent of participants at such gaming events are from outside the host state, with a significant number of international participants. People enjoy these games and value the opportunity to explore new places through them. While this travel trend has been strong among those from Europe, Japan, and the US, with more eSports events happening globally, we're seeing increased travel from places like Delhi, Kolkata, Bengaluru and Mumbai, and hopefully, this will only grow.' 'Younger generations lead the convergence of gaming and travel' Gen Z and millennials are leading the charge in both the gaming and travel spheres, according to Rikant Pittie, CEO and co-founder, EaseMyTrip. He shares, 'Gami-vacations are redefining the future of travel, driven by Gen Z and millennials who are blending their love for gaming with real-world exploration. Indian travellers are expressing interest in visiting destinations they've discovered through the immersive worlds of their favourite games, seeking experiences that mirror the storytelling, interactivity, and emotional depth of virtual adventures. ' Gaming-themed tourism initiatives on the rise The growing popularity of themed experiences and dedicated tours catering to fans of series like Grand Theft Auto in cities such as New York, Miami, and Los Angeles, and Assassin's Creed in Rome and Egypt, suggests the tangible impact of these games on tourism. Likewise, following the release of the samurai action-adventure stealth game Ghost of Tsushima, the town of Tsushima in Japan reportedly experienced a surge in tourism as players travelled to visit the game's recreated landscapes, subsequently leading to an official partnership between tourism authorities and the game developer. 67% of Indian gamers admit to packing their gaming gear to get their fix on the go, even on vacation - Skyscanner 'Future of travel will see imagination take precedence' 'With India's gaming industry expected to reach $3.8 billion (`32,472 crores, approximately) by year-end, this trend is gaining traction, giving rise to trips that include VR previews, game-inspired locations, AR city walks, themed stays, eSports tournaments, and meetups with streamers. What once seemed niche is now being embraced, with support from governments and tourism boards recognising its cultural and economic potential. Gamivacations blend curiosity, culture, and digital innovation — proving that the next era of travel will be shaped as much by imagination as by geography,' Rikant says. 88% of Indian travellers are inspired to book a trip abroad based on locations from their favourite video game - Skyscanner
