Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella’s love for cricket has reportedly made its way inside the company. According to a report by Business Insider, the tech CEO is now using a‘cricket term’ for the software giant’s progress in artificial intelligence (AI). Nadella, the report says, has shifted to telling the company’s top manager that it is in the “middle innings” rather than “early innings” of AI. “He wants to see the game through”, said one of the sources quoted by the publication. Born and raised in Hyderabad, Nadella has often said that cricket shaped his thinking from a young age. He has credited the sport for teaching him teamwork, strategy, resilience and the importance of playing for the collective rather than individual glory – lessons he says he often applies in Microsoft.
