Ronak Desai
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 68 balls (SR 74), then 50 to 100 in just 34 (SR 147) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 2 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Regional representative — 8 matches (+1.2)
- ● Body of work — 24 imported matches (+0.5)
Critical recommendations
Going at 6.41 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
0.46 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 101.
- ✓ Safe hands — 11 catches in 24 matches (0.46 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 42 × 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
- ×0.23 for the level played (Club 4 · 5th grade and below 8). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 12 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 11 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 24 matches — 0.46 per match.
- Batting
- 391 runs in 21 innings, adjusted average 23.1, strike rate 88.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 12 wickets from 51.0 overs across 16 matches bowled in (of 24 played) — 0.75 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
