Tarun Kumar
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 46 balls (SR 109), then 50 to 100 in just 30 (SR 167) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 34 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
Only 0.12 catches per match over 34 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 40.5.
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 91.1) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 144.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 30 × 40% · Batting 64 × 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
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 15). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 15 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 4 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 34 matches — 0.15 per match.
- Batting
- 1,151 runs in 32 innings, adjusted average 40.5, strike rate 91.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 3 wickets from 20.0 overs across 5 matches bowled in (of 34 played) — 0.09 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
