Cricket in Numbers

Any player can be considered a batsman who has ever scored 50 or more runs, regardless of the format. However, only some of those players were able to make themselves into the “great” and “legends” of the sport. This comes down to their ability to score 50 or more runs regularly over their careers and at different formats.

Whenever India faced Pakistan in a T20 tournament, two things were almost guaranteed, a full-packed stadium and a match-defining innings by Virat Kohli. Time and again, Kohli has delivered under pressure, guiding India to memorable victories and turning tense moments into dominant performances.

The English pitches are known for their tough conditions, which favour the bowlers but provide an equal challenge to the batsmen. Throughout cricket history, it has been challenging for wicket-keeper batsmen to score runs, as they come down the order, finding it tough to play alongside the middle order or lower order.

With the start of every new Indian Premier League season, fans and players hope their favourite team performs well and finishes in the top four. Every team puts in its best effort to reach the playoffs and win the trophy. But not all seasons go as planned.
