Nimbus Sports has media operations in over 60 countries, and runs the Neo Sports TV channel with millions of viewers in India. To make following cricket more interactive and personal, Adobe India partnered with Nimbus Sports to create Cricket Center, an AIR powered desktop app that allows cricket lovers to watch obtain match details, access live scorecards, obtain player stats, and more.
