Sanjeev Kumar
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 30 balls (SR 167), then 50 to 100 in just 26 (SR 192) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 26 imported matches (+0.5)
Critical recommendations
Going at 7.50 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
17 of 23 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
0.46 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 121.4) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 107.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 18 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 12 catches in 26 matches (0.46 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 29 × 40% · Batting 65 × 30% · Bowling 49 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 26). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 26 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 6 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 26 matches — 0.31 per match.
- Batting
- 561 runs in 27 innings, adjusted average 23.9, strike rate 121.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 18 wickets in 19 matches bowled in (of 26 played) — 0.95 per match at 22.3, economy 7.50, strike rate 17.8.
