1. Introduction
Cricket is a game played between two teams, generally of 11 members
each.
In essence, it is single combat, in which an individual batsman does battle
against an individual bowler, who has helpers known as fielders.
The bowler propels the ball with a straight arm from one end of the 22-yard
pitch in an attempt to dismiss the batsman by hitting a target known as the
wicket at the other end, or by inducing one of a number of other
indiscretions.
The batsman attempts to defend the wicket with the bat and to score runs -
the currency of the game - by striking the ball to the field boundary, or far
enough from the fielders to allow the batsman to run to the other end of
the pitch before the ball can be returned.
When all but one of the batting team have been dismissed - or after an
agreed period the teams' roles are reversed.
After all the players required to bat on both sides have done, the total
number of runs accumulated determines the winner.
But sometimes there isn't one which is termed as draw.
There are three formats of cricket played at the international level – Test
matches, One-Day Internationals and Twenty20 Internationals.
These matches are played under the rules and a regulation approved by the
International Cricket Council, the sport’s governing body.
2. Objective
Analysis of career graph of a cricketer (batting average for a batsman and
bowling average for a bowler). Conclude the best year of his career.
3. Use of Statistics in Cricket
Statistics play a crucial role in cricket, providing insights into player
performance, team strategies, and overall game trends. In cricket, statistics are
integral for assessing player capabilities, optimizing team strategies, and
enhancing the overall understanding of the game. Several key statistics are
commonly used:
1. Batting Statistics: These include batting average (average runs scored per
dismissal), strike rate (runs scored per 100 balls faced), and centuries/fifties
scored, reflecting a batsman's consistency and effectiveness.
2. Bowling Statistics: Bowling average (average runs conceded per wicket
taken), economy rate (runs conceded per over bowled), and strike rate
(balls bowled per wicket taken) measure a bowler's effectiveness and
impact.
3. Fielding Statistics: Fielding efficiency is tracked through catches, run-outs,
and stumping, reflecting a player's contribution in the field.
4. Match Results and Team Performance: Win-loss records, run rates, and
performance against specific opponents provide valuable insights into team
strategies and strengths.
5. Advanced Metrics: Advanced statistics like player impact scores, win
probability models, and situational analysis using data analytics contribute
to strategic decision-making and talent scouting.
4. Players chosen
Batsman - Virender Sehwag
Bowler – Ravichandran Ashwin
5. Tools used to determine the performance of a batter
i. Batting Strike Rate
Strike rate or Batting strike rate (s/r) is defined for a batter as the average
number of runs scored per 100 balls faced.
The higher the strike rate, the more effective a batter is at scoring quickly.
In Test cricket, a batter's strike rate is of secondary relevance to their ability
to score runs without getting out.
This means a Test batter's most important statistic is generally considered
to be their batting average, rather than their strike rate.
In limited overs cricket (ODI AND T20), since each team only faces a limited
number of balls in an innings, the faster a batter scores, the more runs their
team will be able to accumulate.
Formula: Batting Strike Rate =
ii. Batting Average
Batting average is a statistic in cricket that measures the performance of
batters.
In cricket, a player's batting average is the total number of runs they have
scored divided by the number of times they have been out.
Since the number of runs a player scores and how often they get out are
primarily measures of their own playing ability, and largely independent of
their teammates, batting average is a good metric for an individual player's
skill as a batter.
It is the most important measure in test cricket.
Its relevance in limited overs cricket (ODI AND T20), is comparatively lesser.
Formula: Batting Average =

9. Tools used to determine the performance of a bowler
i. Bowling Strike Rate
Bowling strike rate is defined for a bowler as the average number of balls
bowled per wicket taken. The lower the strike rate, the more effective a
bowler is at taking wickets quickly.
Although introduced as a statistic complementary to the batting strike rate
during the ascension of one-day cricket in the 1980s, bowling strike rates
are arguably of more importance in Test cricket than One-day
Internationals.
This is because the primary goal of a bowler in Test cricket is to take
wickets, whereas in a one-day match it is often sufficient to bowl
economically - giving away as few runs as possible even if this means taking
fewer wickets.
Formula: Bowling Strike Rate =
ii. Bowling Average
A cricketer's bowling average is calculated by dividing the numbers
of runs they have conceded by the number of wickets they have taken.
The bowler receives credit for any wickets taken during their bowling that
are either bowled, caught, hit wicket, leg before wicket or stumped
In Test cricket, where bowlers often face long spells and multiple innings,
the bowling average becomes particularly significant.
In limited-overs formats like ODIs and T20s, where bowlers have fewer
overs to make an impact, bowling average remains a critical measure.
Formula: Bowling Average =
iii. Economy Rate
In cricket, a bowler's economy rate is the average number of runs they have
conceded per over bowled. In most circumstances, the lower the economy
rate is, the better the bowler is performing.
It is one of a number of statistics used to compare bowlers, commonly used
alongside bowling average and strike rate to judge the overall performance
of a bowler. It is particularly vital in limited overs cricket.
Formula: Economy Rate =

12. Graphical Representation
Note: All data as on 16th April, 2024
13.Real Life applications of statistical tools used
The statistical tools used are multiple bar graphs and line graphs. They are
widely used in various real-life applications to visualize and analyze data. Here
are some specific examples:
Multiple Bar Graphs:
1. Market Research:
Comparing sales data across different product categories or regions over
time.
Analyzing customer preferences for various products or services.
2. Finance:
Visualizing budget allocations across different departments or expense
categories.
Showing revenue generated by different sources or clients.
3. Education:
Comparing student performance across multiple subjects or classes.
Analyzing attendance data for different groups of students.
4. Healthcare:
Displaying patient demographics across different groups or medical
conditions and comparing the effectiveness of various treatments or
medications.
Line Graphs:
1. Stock Market Analysis:
Tracking the performance of stocks over time.
Comparing the trends of multiple stocks or indices.
2. Weather Forecasting:
Visualizing temperature changes throughout the day or over seasons.
Showing precipitation levels over different months or years.
3. Engineering and Science:
Plotting experimental data such as voltage over time in electrical circuits.
Analyzing trends in environmental data like pollution levels or water
quality.
4. Population Studies:
Representing population growth or decline in different regions.
Comparing birth rates or mortality rates across countries.
Combined Applications:
1. Economics:
Using multiple bar graphs to compare GDP components (like consumption,
investment, government spending) and line graphs to track economic
indicators (like inflation rates, unemployment rates).
2. Business Performance:
Employing both graphs to analyze sales performance (using bars for
revenue by product category and lines for trends over time).
3. Sports Analytics:
Displaying player statistics (such as goals scored, assists) using multiple bar
graphs for different players and line graphs for trends over seasons.
14. Conclusion
From the data, we can conclude that
Virender Sehwag had his best year in tests in 2010, ODI in 2002, T20I in 2009
and IPL in 2012 since his runs, average and strike rates were highest in these
years.
Ravichandran Ashwin had his best year in tests in 2016 (however his average
was the least in 2021), ODI in 2013, T20I in 2014 and 2016 and IPL in 2010
since his wickets were high, and average and strike rates were least in these
years.
