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.

RCB

Chris Gayle

Run volume
+113.5
733 runs across 14 innings (avg 52/inn)
Strike rate vs league
+2.3
SR 160.7 vs league avg ~155
Boundaries (small bonus)
+27.5
46 fours × 0.15 + 59 sixes × 0.35 — the runs already counted them
Opposition + venue
+22.0
Tougher attacks + away venues upweight each innings
Volume factor
+26.0
√(733/500) longevity bonus — sustained run-scoring over a season

Final rating

707

/ 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.
