MI now available as an Alexa Skill

The 2018 edition of the Vivo IPL gets under way on Saturday with a blockbuster opener between defending champions Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings.

Well, that’s not the only good news, people. Champions MI have launched an Alexa Skill for this season. After enabling the Mumbai Indians Skill, fans can access the latest scores, upcoming schedule, team and player statistics as well as player interviews with — hold your breath — just their voice.

MI fans can enable the Skill by going to the Alexa Skills store on Amazon.in, and the Alexa companion App. Users can also voice-enable the Skill by saying, “Alexa, enable Mumbai Indians”.

What’s more, users can interact with the Mumbai Indians Skill in a variety of ways like, “Alexa, open Mumbai Indians”, and that will launch the Skill. Fans can also get easy access to specific information in one go. To hear the MI team stats, all the user needs to say is, “Alexa, Ask Mumbai Indians to give me team stats”. In case fans want to listen to the stats of an individual player (skipper Rohit Sharma, for instance), all they need to say is, “Alexa, Ask Mumbai Indians to give me Rohit Sharma’s stats”. For a live match, a user can directly get the scores and say, “Alexa, Ask Mumbai Indians for the latest scores”.

Ditto with player interviews or, for that matter, details of the team’s next match. If you want to hear the latest interview of a Mumbai Indians player, you can simply ask Alexa by saying, “Alexa, ask Mumbai Indians for the latest player interview”.

Go ahead and try out the skill and keep yourself updated with Mumbai Indians’ performances in Vivo IPL 2018.
