LONDON and SYDNEY and MUMBAI, India, May 01, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Black Castle Capital Partners presents Kabuni, the AI-powered sports technology platform transforming real-world play into measurable performance. Today, they announced their global launch, set to take place in Mumbai on June 7th, 2026.
Designed to redefine how sport is played, coached, and experienced, Kabuni introduces a new category: physical eSport, where real-world performance is captured, analysed, and turned into structured, competitive gameplay.
Ahead of the launch, Kabuni is hosting a series of invitation-only global webinars in partnership with Black Castle Capital Partners, featuring cricketing icons including Shane Watson and Sourav Ganguly.
A New Infrastructure for Sport
Kabuni is not another sports app. It is an end-to-end performance infrastructure, combining proprietary hardware, AI, and gameplay mechanics into a unified ecosystem.
At the centre is the Kabuni device, a portable, multi-camera system designed for real-world play, capturing biomechanics and ball tracking data in real time.
Built for the field, not the lab, the device enables instant feedback, turning every session into structured, actionable intelligence.
This is combined with Kabuni's PlayOS platform, where performance data is analysed, tracked, and gamified.
The result:
- Coaching that was once subjective becomes measurable
- Performance that was once invisible becomes visible
- Training that was once repetitive becomes competitive
From Practice to Competition: Introducing K10
At the core of the Kabuni ecosystem is K10, a simple 10-ball format that transforms everyday practice into meaningful competition.
Players are no longer just training, they are competing, progressing, and being ranked based on real performance data.
As highlighted in Kabuni's platform design, real-world actions directly power a digital competitive environment, where users can analyse, learn, and improve continuously.
This creates a scalable pathway for:
- Faster player development
- Earlier talent identification
- Structured global competition
Powered by the Elite, Built for Everyone
Kabuni brings elite insight into its ecosystem through its "Supercoach" model, led by some of cricket's most respected figures.
- Shane Watson - two-time ICC Cricket World Cup winner and former World No.1 ODI all-rounder
- Sourav Ganguly - one of India's most influential cricketing leaders and former national captain
Their digital coaching "twins" provide scalable access to elite-level thinking, helping bridge the gap between grassroots and professional performance environments.
India First. Global by Design.
Kabuni's launch in Mumbai reflects a deliberate strategy.
Cricket is the world's second-largest sport, with India at its centre, yet access to structured, data-driven coaching remains fragmented.
Kabuni changes that.
By combining AI, biomechanics, and accessible hardware, the platform is designed to scale across:
- Grassroots players
- Academies and clubs
- National boards and development systems
With a roadmap extending beyond cricket into sports such as tennis, golf, and baseball, Kabuni is building a multi-sport performance layer for global adoption.
Real-World Play. Digital Intelligence. Global Scale.
Kabuni represents a fundamental shift:
From passive consumption ? to active participation
From subjective coaching ? to data-driven development
From isolated training ? to global competition
Or, as the platform puts it:
"Real-world actions power Kabuni's digital world."
