The public T20 analytics hub cricket is missing.
Scorecards give you the runs and wickets. RAA asks the next question: how many runs did a player or team add versus an average one in the same situation?
Runs Above Average compares every ball with what an average player would be expected to do in the same situation. It credits both scoring rate and wicket rate, so fast scoring, wicket preservation, run prevention, and wicket taking all matter.
Start with the table: who won, who added runs, and whether the edge came from batting, bowling, or both.
Rank IPL careers by RAA, then drill into scoring rate, wicket impact, phase strength, and matchup splits.
Gayle's 2011 season is the top IPL batting season by RAA, but the splits make the case even stronger: he crushed pace, owned the middle overs, and left teams with almost no good matchup.
AB de Villiers leads the IPL career batting table by RAA. The deeper profile shows why: elite scoring, strong wicket value, and a death-over peak that few batters can match.
Bumrah's 2024 season is the highest IPL bowling season by RAA. The reason is brutally simple: batters could not score against him in any phase, against either hand.
