ONE OF the most eagerly awaited T20 competitions of the year, Champion League T20 is scheduled to start on September 19, 2011. Various teams from all over the world would be taking part in the competition, where Chennai Super Kings were the winners of the competition in the last edition. The tournament is going to be held in India this year. Chennai, Kolkata and Bangalore would be hosting the main tournament and the qualifiers would be taking place at Hyderabad. In the new age of technology, various sports are using it in different ways to make the sports interesting all over the word, this Champions League would be witnessing a new kind of technology, which would make the game rather very exciting. The players would be wearing an eye cam fitted into a special pair of shades, which would act as the camera and then the viewers would be able to see how it feels to be a fielder in that particular position.
During the process, the viewers would also be able to understand how much time would the fielder get to catch the ball and hence forth. This kind of technology has never been used in the competition and it seems to be a very interesting technology, which, might be picked up by other sports and competition broadcasters too.
In previous editions we have heard commentators talking to the on field players and sometimes even the umpires about the game. They use a wired microphone in order to communicate. Sometimes they tend to disturb the player, so it is interesting to see if the new technology would create any problem for the players during the game or not.
It is ESPN, the official broadcaster for Champions League T20 2011, who has decided to include such kind of technology for the upcoming competition. It would be helpful in providing the best images up-close from the field, which the normal cameras may miss it.
