Amazon on Tuesday (December 17, 2024) has revealed everything that Indians asked Alexa between September 2023 and November 2024.

Ravindra Jadeja and Rohit Sharma were the other cricketers Alexa’s Indian users were most curious about.

Cricket lovers in the country kept asking questions like “Alexa, when does the cricket match start?” and the score.

They were also inquisitive about the ‘height’ of famous personalities like Virat Kohli, Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Shah Rukh Khan and even Amitabh Bachchan, Kriti Sanon, Deepika Padukone and Hrithik Roshan.
