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.

PBKS

KL Rahul

Run volume
+107.6
659 runs across 14 innings (avg 47/inn)
Strike rate vs league

SR 158.4 vs league avg ~155
Boundaries (small bonus)
+21.1
66 fours × 0.15 + 32 sixes × 0.35 — the runs already counted them
Opposition + venue
+22.0
Tougher attacks + away venues upweight each innings
Volume factor

√(659/500) longevity bonus — sustained run-scoring over a season

Final rating

511

/ 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.
