With the excitement for the #IPL2024 building I’ve been looking into the data and seeing what insights it tells us. If you don’t like IPL & data I suggest you look away now  for those that do buckle up as it’s a long ride.
Firstly a few of the parameters I used #WPL2024 For all players their career T20 figures were used, those who haven’t played aren’t displayed
Team battings averages - the figures for batters, wicket keepers and all-rounders have been used
Teams bowling averages - the figures for bowlers and all-rounders have been used #IPL2024

With the #BCCI finally releasing the #iplauction2024 list I’ve done a little analysis to see what trends the data is showing us. The first part of this thread is auction data analysis and the 2nd part my view of what each time should be targeting for #IPL2024 . Buckle up.. Firstly let’s see what each of the 10 franchises look like going into the #iplauction2024 . KKR are almost having to build a brand new team with just 13 players and 12 slots left to fill. On the other end of the scale SRH, RCB, CSK and LSG have just 6 and may play tactically. Image

After such a long wait the #WPL2023final didn’t fail to deliver, overall the tournament has been a great success and certainly captured new fans. Mumbai Indians took the trophy but were they statistically the best team? Lets talk a look.. First up is the teams batting averages and this graph shows the tournament average and the difference to the team’s average pre-tournament. No surprise MI batters actually managed to outperform their career averages by 15.16, GG disappointed in #WPL2023 at 1.27 below their avg Image

The first half of this shows overall stats then a deep dive on each team. We start with looking at makeup of each franchise. There is a growing focus on all-rounder’s, 45% of the MI and PBKS squad are ALR. SRH however have 43 % of their squad as bowlers, are they going with the ‘batters win you games, bowlers win you tournaments’ approach? #IPL2022

After getting hold of the #IPL auction list in excel, I’ve pulled a few interesting (if your a cricket and data geek) trends out of there. This thread will show you a few of these….
#IPLAuction #IPL2022MegaAuction The average age of the players in the auction is 26yrs old. The youngest is 17 and oldest is 43. Extra geek points for naming them both… #IPLAuction #IPLAuction2022 #IPL2022
