Aarav Rajnikanth
A front-loaded hundred: a quick first fifty off 35 balls (SR 143), then 50 to 100 at a steadier 80 balls (SR 63).
Representative pathway — 9 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 19 matches (+7.6)
- ● Body of work — 47 imported matches (+0.9)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 50.5 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
27 of 35 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Out for 0 in 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 200.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 33 × 40% · Batting 71 × 30% · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.49 for the level played (1st grade 7 · 2nd grade 12 · Club 21). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 40 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 13 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 47 matches — 0.30 per match.
- Batting
- 1,047 runs in 43 innings, adjusted average 28.9, strike rate 50.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 9 wickets from 49.2 overs across 15 matches bowled in (of 47 played) — 0.19 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
