ENG vs IND| 2nd T20I | Performance Indicator Judgement

England and India battled it out in the second T20I of the series at Edgbaston, Birmingham. Much to the pleasure of the Indian fans, their team redeemed themselves from the dramatic loss they had at the same venue in the rescheduled Test match a few days back.

Just like the 1st T20I, the Indian side led by Rohit Sharma was clinical in all the departments of the game. On the back of batting heroics by Ravindra Jadeja (46* of 26) and the bowling excellence of Bhuvneswar Kumar (3-15 in 3 overs), the visitors won the match by 49 runs. 

On the basis of performance indicators, we try and find out the standout performer of the match.

First, let us take a look at the Contribution Factor of the players during India’s batting innings.

Indian Batters

English Bowlers

Before delving into further analysis, it must be made clear that, in case of the bowlers the lower the CF, the better.

So, if Indian batting is taken into consideration, the best performer is quite evidently Ravindra Jadeja.

If English bowling is considered Richard Gleeson was the pick of their bowlers.

Now, moving forward to the second innings.

English Batters

Indian Bowlers

So, the best batter for England was Moeen Ali. While the best bowler for the Indian team was Jasprit Burmah. 

Now, in order to find out the best performers of the match, we will take the help of the Performance Indicator.

We will sort the top two performers from both the innings and apply PI on them.

So, the PI indicates the top performer of the match was Ravindra Jadeja. The thing that he came out to bat in a pressure situation and helped his team reach a respectable score adds to his credit. Hence, as per PI  the best performer of the match is Ravindra Jadeja.
