The air was electric as students, faculty, and sports enthusiasts gathered at the Christ University Lavasa campus for Sportalytics 4.0. The event was the culmination of months of planning and preparation by the Department of Statistics and Data Science, whose team worked tirelessly to bring together speakers, experts, and participants from varied backgrounds.

Analytics turns that flood into decisions: who to select, how to train, when to rest a player, and how to read an opponent. Sportalytics 4.0 placed this shif...
