CricViz have an agreement in place to provide The Telegraph newspaper in the UK with advanced data analysis and visualisations, delivered to their team of award-winning journalists via our team of analysts.
This week Tim Wigmore interviewed India’s number three and perhaps the world’s best defensive batsman Cheteshwar Pujara. You can read the full interview here. The interview featured some statistical nuggets from CricViz.
The chart below shows how Pujara is one of the most effective crease-occupiers in the modern game – returning a balls per wicket of 112 – bettered only by Steve Smith and Marnus Labuschagne since 2015.
The second chart shows how Pujara is particularly adept at playing long innings – only Smith has faced more than 200 balls in an innings more often than Pujara.
