Yh the most common RHB-RHB partnership has been Gill and Sky with 6 partnerships. Averaging 38.5 @ 171. Next being Sky and Sanju with 93 @ 223 in 3 games. Carried a bit by that 297 game.
Apologies,i want to ask you a question completely out of context.But,do you think,there is any deeper structural issue in Indian cricket,which is hampering test team?or is it just a combination of some bad team selection and weird luck?
Like u/statsarelikebikini said, it is hard to conclude much from this due to other confounding variables.
I have a suggestion. Let's say we are trying to answer - how has the performance of LHB and RHB have changed based on whether they are batting with a LHB/RHB?
Maybe we can try to look at how a certain player has played with a LHB vs a RHB at the other end. Then, we can compute some ratio like "avg. of player X batting with RHB" / "avg. of player X batting with LHB". Maybe some batters have benefited from this while others have done worse. Then, you can aggregate this metric across LHB and RHB, if you want some overall comparison.
We can conclude nothing. What if LHBs batting together are more Shittier than RHBs batting together or RHBs and LHBs batting together. You need to account for that as well.
I'm really not convinced by this LHB-RHB combination thing. I accept that it may have been a major advantage in the past, but at the highest level of cricket I don't think it makes a notable difference anymore. Top international teams' bowling and fielding is too good to be seriously thrown by the batters' orientations being different.
it works against spinners because spinners rely a lot more on subtle angle changes in T20 cricket imo, should be really interesting if someone can find that data
Theoretically I get the idea, but I've seen other teams try this tactic as well before (although not to the extent that India is doing now) and I get the impression that the damage done by changing up the batting order balances out any positive effect. This is just my impression, though. I haven't run the numbers.
RHB-RHB being the best for T20is is shocking to me considering Abhishek and Tilak have been our best players under GG lol

So all we need to do to make Gill and SKY play well is to make to them play together?/s
All we need is gill to last more than 10 balls should be easy enough
If this is limited specifically to GG, Tilak's 280-run marathon in South Africa wouldn't count
It should tho right? He took charge immediately after Zimbabwe iirc
Technically it does since I've just used since July 202
So,we can say,in t20is it didn't work,in tests it worked to some extent.btw,why you have omitted odis? sample size isn't enough?sorry for bad english
That's mainly cos I forgot odis existed lol. Completely blanked out for some reason.

Its a mix of shit cricket, poor selection and bad luck

Spot on! Average, Runs, RPI and SR of a player with RHB v/s LHB.
We can conclude nothing. What if LHBs batting together are more Shittier than RHBs batting together or RHBs and LHBs batting together. You need to account for that as well.
Correlation =/ Causation
Is this just India or the rest of the world too?
Just India under GG
Fairs. Good work. I think it would be interesting to see how they work out on a large sample size in other teams and compare to how it is under gg
You would have to have a really big difference here for me to believe it was any real effect and not noise.
