    Stochastic Modeling and Applications Vol. 24 No. 2 (July-December, 2020) Received: 15th September 2020 Revised: 19th October 2020 Accepted: 24th October 2020 A STATISTICAL ANALYSIS FOR PREDICTING THE TOP PERFORMING PLAYERS DURING IPL 2020 G. KUMARAPANDIYAN AND S. KEERTHIVARMAN Abstract. Cricket is an immensely popular sport around the world. Every day forms of cricketing ethnicity were invisible in every walk of real life and were well represented through diverse forms of media in the wake of the world cup. Analysis of cricket players based on their performance is always a complicated task because of the interrelated character of the variables used to enumerate contributions to the team. Lack of precision of current methods, due to viable confidentiality, creates a necessity for new and transparent evaluative methods. In this paper, the performance of players in the recent international matches, domestic competitions around the globe is discussed and predicting the top performers during IPL 2020 that can be easily adapted to other team sports. 1. Introduction 1.1. CRICKET. Cricket is a bat-and-ball game played between two teams of eleven players on a cricket field, at the centre of which is a rectangular 22-yard- long pitch with a wicket (a set of three wooden stumps) at each end. One team bats, attempting to score as many runs as possible, while their opponent field. Each phase of play is called an innings.

  • About the IPL
    About the IPL How it all Began The leafy suburb of Wimbledon in South West London is synonymous the world over with the game of tennis, but it was here that a massive new idea for the sport of cricket was conceived. In late June last year, while the rain that marked the 2007 English summer was disrupting the famous Championships, two men met in a nearby house to discuss a very different event. Lalit Modi, Vice-President of the Board of Cricket Control for India, spoke to Andrew Wildblood of the International Management Group (IMG), a company with a vast experience in the whole area of sports management. Modi, who studied in America and had long since wanted to re-energise the Indian domestic game, was seeking a view on whether it would be possible to put together a Twenty20 cricket league based on the model of the franchise system commonplace in the United States. “Funnily enough, it was similar to an idea we had already kicked around informally within our office,” recalls Wildblood, Senior Corporate Director of IMG India. “I thought that with a combination of BCCI resolve and IMG’s expertise we could find a way.” A second meeting took place in a London hotel before Modi moved on and it was decided there and then that the vision could become a reality in 2008. Wildblood smiles at the memory: “I remember going home that night and telling my wife and her saying to me ‘How on earth are you going to do that?’ “ The truth is that the daunting timescale was not lost on either Wildblood or Modi, who knew that they were going to face a formidable race against time to start the whole project from scratch and get it ready in time for April this year.
