Where these figures come from
Sources for this profile
- IPL figures computed from ball-by-ball records of 1,243 IPL matches.
- Big Bash figures computed from ball-by-ball records of men’s BBL matches.
- Date of birth, playing style and photograph come from a third-party player feed, matched by name.
How the numbers are derived
- A wide is not a ball faced; a no ball is.
- Byes and leg byes are not charged to the bowler; wides and no balls are.
- Six kinds of dismissal are credited to a bowler. A run out is not one of them.
- An average is runs over dismissals, and is left blank rather than shown as infinite.
