VIHAAN PATEL (15)
Representative pathway — 6 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 13 matches (+5.2)
- ● Body of work — 36 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 11.3 over 33 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
11 of 18 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
0.53 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 11.0.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.98.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 22 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 19 catches in 36 matches (0.53 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 51 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 60 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.56 for the level played (Rep Div 1 13 · Club 11). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 24 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 17 catches + 9 run outs (3 direct, 6 assisted) in 36 matches — 0.72 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 33 innings at 11.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 28 wickets in 28 matches bowled in (of 36 played) — 1.00 per match at 11.0, economy 2.98, strike rate 22.1.
