Most of the myths surrounding Rohit are a result of format mixing. In ODIs, he's excellent in the powerplay. In Tests, he's superb against swing and sweeps spinners with aplomb. In T20s, he's unequivocally terrible at all 3. It's about time we realized that. Let's bust them.

The best players of spin attempt these 7 shots very often and with great efficiency. For context, Heinrich Klaasen has a mindboggling 300+ SR on 6/7 and has a ~31% attempt rate. Abhishek Sharma has an equally impressive 250+ SR on 6/7 and a ~25% attempt rate.

Kohli's on-drive numbers are decent - 134 avg and 143 SR, with an attempt rate of 20%. But when it comes to cover drives, he plays it way too safe. Kohli strikes at less than 102 and attempts them 11% of the time - sacrificing attacking output for control and strike rotation.

On these 2 shots: Klaasen: ~170 SR, 13.6% attempt rate Abhishek: ~150 SR, 34.7% attempt rate In short: the best spin hitters maximize even low-risk shots, prioritizing attacking output over wicket preservation. And this is on top of destruction with the primary scoring shots.

This reflects in Kohli's scoring areas against spin. Without the paddle & the reverse, he doesn't make use of the area behind square at all. And the 3 areas he accesses the most are dominated by relatively low-risk options - cover-drive, on-drive and flick.

The other attacking shots that produce decent returns (135-145 SR) are the on drive and the cover drive. These are relatively low-risk shots, with control rates around the 85% mark. Here, the difference between Kohli and the best spin hitters becomes even more apparent.

Generating power behind square on the leg-side isn't easy, particularly when bowlers try to take pace off. In order to, Pant needs to swivel his body through the shot and rely on his handspeed (or whippage). It has come off at times, but he's also looked terribly ungainly.

Pant has always been unconventional - his is a technique that somehow works for him. He did take down Mohit Sharma through the off-side earlier this year, but it's been few and far between.

Siraj vs LHB in ODIs in 2022: 17.1 avg, 5.01 ER Shami vs LHB in ODIs in 2023: 14 avg, 4.94 ER Imagine the team's riches to think about changing from a 17.1 avg bowler to a 14 avg bowler Oh, and there's Bumrah at the other end 👍

Just a random thought, given Shami & Bumrah are India's best pacers this WC, should they open the bolwing in the final? Esp if they face Aus with two monster LHBs. Shami's round the wkt to LHB needed one feels.

@exceedingxpuns @randomcricstat There too, there are players who try to protect their FG%, which is significantly less important to a basketball stat sheet than batting average is to a cricket stat sheet

Thakur shouldn't have bowled Over 6 in #CSKvsPBKS . Powerplay RR has shot up in #IPL2024 , with the important Over 6 going for 10+. But teams still aren't consistently using their "closer". Only Rashid, Natarajan, Curran, Dayal have bowled Over 6 5+ times. #CricketTwitter

What has gone wrong for #CSK in the last two #IPL2024 matches? And how do they fix it? Here's my take: ▶️ Gaikwad at No. 3 with Rachin-Rahane opening ▶️ Only 2 overs of Chahar in the powerplay ▶️ Dhoni up the order Do give it a read, #CricketTwitter !

Tweet card media

CSK's new No. 1 is actually a No. 3 - and other tactical tweaks to revive IPL 2024 campaign

On his IPL debut back in 2020, Ruturaj Gaikwad batted at No. 5 for CSK.

Hitting through the off-side is, in itself, an act that is supremely dependent on momentum (shoulders, arms and body in general) going through the shot. Suresh Raina's masterful inside-out shots were the prime example of this.

@srini_r_twit To put this into perspective, a guy who averages 80 at 70 SR in FC cricket isn't getting picked because Ponting can't decide where to bat him in T20s 😭

He isn't wrong 😂 In the IPL, Gaikwad's strike rate when the required run rate is less than 8 is 128.09. While batting first, it's 145.5. Should he take more initiative to close out games? Or is this approach good enough, given his role? #CricketTwitter

But his attempt rate is disappointing once again. Also, it's what he does outside his primary scoring shots that destroy his overall SR.

Hardik's overall matchup analysis reveals that he is shackled by left-arm spinners and decent against other styles of spin:

Hardik vs hard lengths: 116.61 SR, 41 avg These numbers are marginally better, but the SR is well below that of the average batter (135). His go-to shots are the cut and pull, as expected. While his output on the cut is excellent, the same can't be said about the pull.

When Pant is shaping up to hit through square leg, and not even midwicket or long-on, it's near-impossible to adjust his body orientation to access the other side. A simple tweak such as trying to hit it mildly straighter could be enough to unlock the cover and long-off areas.

Hardik vs SPIN: There's more optimism here. The numbers (and eye test) suggest that he has the ability to be a truly elite spin hitter, but for that, he needs to take more risks.

@DineshKarthik on the mic. Thoughts on his comms so far? Imo he adds a fresh dimension to the panel; just needs to be careful not to jinx😭 This is what he had to say when I interviewed him earlier this month: #dineshkarthik #WTC2021 #IndiaVsNewZealand

It isn't all bad, though. He does have high attacking output on most of his primary scoring shots against hard lengths.

@rsudharshan95 Thanks! Suryakumar is an outlier in all senses - the areas he accesses, shots he plays, etc - so wouldn't have been ideal imo Agree about Samson - he strikes at 180+ not only in 5 of the main 7 but with on and cover drives as well

On the whole, Hardik's issues are tough to solve. He has a clear lack of versatility and length conversion ability against both styles of bowling, particularly pace. And the intent won't change overnight, even though it seems simple enough to fix on paper.
