Chirag Balani
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 30 imported matches (+0.6)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 7.0 over 32 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
18 of 27 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.
Out for 0 in 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 22 × 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 13). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 13 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 7 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 30 matches — 0.30 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 32 innings at 7.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
