Venkateswaran Chandrasekaran
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 29 imported matches (+0.6)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 10.9 over 26 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Going at 7.24 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
Out for 0 in 19% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.24 keeping dismissals (WK catches + stumpings) per match. Work standing-up takes and leg-side stumpings — the fastest way for a keeper to add value.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · 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
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 8). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 8 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 5 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 29 matches — 0.21 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 26 innings at 10.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 9 wickets from 27.3 overs across 6 matches bowled in (of 29 played) — 0.31 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
