BRIEF EXPLANATION

Dynamic Nature

Most of our ratings are dynamic, and as new matches are played, the rating of earlier batsmen may change if current batsmen set new benchmarks.

Trend Setter (TS)

TS is the player who does the best in a criteria.
The rating of all other players are calculated taking the TS as the benchmark. Example:-
TS Runs: 2,000; Player X Runs: 1,000; Section Points: 250.00
TS Points: 250.00 (Max)
Player X Points: Runs/TS Runs X 250 = 1,000/2,000 X 250 = 125.00.
Ratings of all sections are calculated similarly with Runs being replaced by the Criteria Stat.

Top Teams (TT)

An opposition is counted as a TT considering its Win/Loss (WL) Ratios in last 5 years.
Home, Away, In Asia, Outside Asia and Overall WL Ratio is considered.
The WL Ratio should be more than a certain value overall or in specific condition.
