Thought it's worth making this. Apologies for the low quality of the bowling action - but it's pretty much the best I coukd find.
It gives a general perspective on how well-rounded their pace attack is when it comes to variety.
Hazlewood gets the reward for persisting with his stock length instead of going fuller (as he has done in previous games including the one where Gill took him down for 24)
🚨 THE IPL FINAL PREVIEW🚨
GT have been dominant in both powerplays all season, but RCB have the tools to blunt their attack.
✍️ @randomcricstat on the battles that will decide if RCB defend their title, or GT return to the mountain top.
Analysis at https://t.co/VOhVqdjNQn
RR have an economy rate of 10.40 with the bat this season. Excluding Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, this drops to 9.54.
No Batter in IPL History has increased their team's economy rate by a bigger margin (0.86) across an IPL season
It took the third-choice wicket-keeper getting injured and Anuj Rawat losing form for Rajat Patidar to make RCB's 2022 team more than halfway into the season. Insane sliding doors moment
@rajdtwts Rizvi not a viable 3 if early wicket falls (Miller/Stubbs in that case). Will be interesting to see how Sahil develops in the coming months
Ideally would want a quick starter somewhere in the top 6 (guess which team traded Ferreira for a player who's not making the first team!)
This is a fun one: Padikkal has done it 6 times this season, the same as Shreyas Iyer (2022), Virat Kohli (2025), Virender Sehwag (2012) and Brendon McCullum (2015).
But one player has done it 7 times, and another one 8 times, both this season itself.
Who are these two?
@rajdtwts Even in this year's auction, they had one of the biggest budgets and overseas slots available and ended up going with 2/3 OS in their first few games (not to mention how awfully they used some of their OS)
