Prolific Runs Scored 250.00
Consistent Average 200.00
Attacking Strike Rate 200.00
Big Innings Potential Top Scores 200.00
Quick Innings Potential Top Inns By SR 150.00
The 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. Know All About TS. Here is a simple example:-

  • TS Runs: 2,000; Player X Runs: 1,000; Section Points: 250.00

  • Ratings of all sections are calculated similarly with Runs being replaced by the Criteria Stat.
