For example, Virat Kohli bats with a tailender to take the score past 200. A viewer wants to know what partnerships have been in place between a No.3 & No.10 batsman in the IPL or how about this – someone is watching a chase and wants to see the strike rate at which the team is chasing, vis-à-vis team that batted first. Watching all of it in real time.
