How #1 got there

ANATOMY OF A RATING.

Runs are the headline. Strike rate vs the league average matters once you've faced enough balls. Boundaries add a small bonus — the runs already counted them.

Chris Gayle

Run volume
+95.7
608 runs across 12 innings (avg 51/inn)
Strike rate vs league
+11.3
SR 183.1 vs league avg ~155
Boundaries (small bonus)
+23.9
57 fours × 0.15 + 44 sixes × 0.35 — the runs already counted them
Opposition + venue
+22.0
Tougher attacks + away venues upweight each innings
Volume factor

√(608/500) longevity bonus — sustained run-scoring over a season

Final rating

596

/ 1000 pts

How it works

Quality > quantity

An 80(45) vs a top attack on an away pitch outranks a 90(70) on a flat one at home.

How it works

Phase-aware

Strike rate is judged vs phase-par — death overs are scored differently from powerplay.

How it works

Recent form weighs more

Exponential decay across innings. The last five matter more than the first five.
