Google has added new experimental features in its Search at the time of the ICC World Twenty20 cricket tournament, which allows the users to summon fresh contents directly from their favorite cricket players, personalities and commentators, along with live sports commentary panel.

When the users search for cricket and Twenty20-related things and the names of teams and players during and after matches, the users will be shown real-time commentary in search results, from cricket players, commentators and experts like Akash Chopra and Boria Majumdar, reports The Next Web.

Also, Google will present to the users posts, match photos and videos directly from players when the users search for them.

The company says that the Search features are experimental and are run only during this tournament for the time being.
