In a video published on social media by the IPL, former New Zealand cricketer and commentator Danny Morrison officially revealed his new broadcast companion before the match between the Delhi Capitals and Mumbai Indians at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on April 13.
Danny Morrison provided some intriguing information regarding the robot dog. He clarified: “It can walk, run, greet, but most importantly, it has the vision of a pet.”
In the video, the robot dog stands on its hind legs and forms a mechanical heart with its limbs. Morrison playfully said, “Don’t get too close!”
