A Nation of Accumulators - Strike rate progression of Indians in IPL 2020

Most of the mainstays of the Indian T20 international team tend to bat conservatively for the first 30 balls 

[chewy]

No wonder India wont be winning T20 world cup anytime soon. Except for Hardik no one is explosive from ball 1. 

 

More embarrassing is the Indian openers have been always pathetic in IPLs and continue to be embarrassing themselves after over 10 years of IPL and in process being mediocre for India.

and ppl are questioning a guy who is leading the list

[Ankit_sharma03]

what to blame these guys after all If they take risk which will have failure ppl will say they are hacks, brainless, not matured or cameo kings

There is something wrong with the incentive structure in the selection process of the India team. Players get rewarded more for 50* (40) than 25 (10)

Going by these numbers, some of the points to be concluded:-

 

1. Kishan, SKY, Agarwal, Rana and Rohit change gears proportionally as the game progresses. Rohit starts slowly though. 

 

2. Kohli, Rahul, Iyer, Paddikal and Manish Pandey have failed to change gears enough as required between 10-30 balls phase. Kohli and Rahul can make up for that later on but Pandey and Iyer struggle a bit to make up and Paddikal runs out of gas after that.

 

3. Dhawan does change gear enough after getting himself in but he struggles to hit the 5th gear from that 3rd gear after 30 balls. So, he is vulnerable after 10-12 overs in terms of hitting. Paddikal is also vulnerable after 10-12 overs, so he is similar to Dhawan. You can say Paddikal is clearly younger version of Dhawan and is next Dhawan in making.

 

4. Shubhman Gill does well in the powerplays after getting himself in but that is the only phase where he does well. After facing 30 balls, it is only about time he throws his wicket.

 

5. Rishabh Pant and Prithvi Shaw are explosive batsmen who had poor IPL. Shaw continued playing his natural game and kept throwing his wicket while Pant lost his natural game, was all in sea and didn't knew what to do. 

 

6. And lastly, Pandya and Samson are the most explosive entity in Indian team as they won't hang around fooling eveyone and will tak business right from word 'GO'.

Besides saying most of our batsmen take time to get going, difficult to draw any comparative conclusions unless there are similar stats for overseas batsmen or for batsmen in other t20 leagues or T20Is.

[Serpico]

that thala SR after 30  get him into the national team

[zen]

SDP in a league of his own

[Majestic]

And ofcourse the most important of all, Thala changes gear as fast as anyone could.

 

When his team needs him to strike at 120, he strikes at 90.

 

When they need him to strike at 200, he strikes at 140.

 

And ultimately when he is supposed to strike at 400, he strikes them at 250.

 

A clear case of how fast you can change gears and how destructive you can be once the game is already lost.

Raina was very unique in this regard as he was among the very few Indian Batsmen who could go after the bowling from Ball 1. Even Kohli needs some time at the crease to get going before he goes full berserk.

Here's the chart for the top 10 runscorers, has some foreign players.

So if thala stays beyond 30 balls **** gets real..guess old age makes it difficult for him to play that long.

Like BBL, IPL also should introduce new rules. If a batsman doesn't have 100 strike rate or better after 10 balls, he should be declared out and sent back to the pavilion. That should take care of all the strike hogging, bat till the end bs artists.

look at ABD.. he clearly targets the weaker bowlers between 11-30.. when he is 30+ , its usually the last four overs and so better quality death bowlers bowl them.

He has smashed the very best of the bowlers like Bumrah and Archer. 

 

That stat is hurt by his knocks vs CSK and then SRH in playoffs where he struggled to find any support from batters below no.5 getting out at single digit, not allowing him to strike at 200+.

As long as someone else can score those first 30 runs for him

Looks like kl Rahul has cracked the code to become main stay in loi.

[Lone Wolf]

I hope KL Rahul doesn't go this way in Internationals T20..  Rohit is slow starter Kohli is accumulator & Iyer Pandey..  This is one heck of a poor T20 lineup assembled. 

Technically only one among Kohli & Rohit should play..  But that's not gonaa happen.
