Rajasthan Royals COO Alok Chitre says ChatGPT is the only icon on his phone's lock screen, used for everything from business to personal tasks. The IPL team integrates AI into its daily operations, including data analysis, ticketing, auction ideas, and internal agents. In an exclusive interview with Hindustan Times, Chitre and other officials stressed that technology has long been part of the Royals' DNA, led by tech-focused ownership. They emphasised that AI augments human instinct, not replaces it, keeping the 'human touch' in cricket.
