In strategy, does it perhaps make sense for a team to take more risks with the less capable and so more expendable non-international batters (by asking them to score more quickly and get out more frequently) than it takes with the more capable and so more valuable international batters who are tasked with scoring more runs in the more crucial phases of the innings?
I think this is the 1st IPL where I've felt there's a couple of teams that would be better off not playing 4 overseas players.

I'm curious about how would these figures look, if we exclude Virat Kohli and Abhishek Sharma respectively from the 2 cohorts?
And I think the newer generation is more obsessed with Strike Rates than older ones.
Just checked. If we remove Sai Sudharshan from internationals and Abhishek Sharma from non-int, Strike Rates for both the cohorts is same (149.5).
And Sai Sudarshan has barely played 3 ODIs, can be considered non-international.
I'd like to consider Abhishek Sharma as an outlier, so both the cohorts have pretty much the same strike rate.
Well, T20 WC is gonna have a very small number of matches, so it's more about Luck. Even KL Rahul might have a couple of match winning knocks.
But I'd say that Abhishek Sharma not getting into the squad would be incompetence.
Fair enough, but do you think Kohli and A Sharma have the same probability of succeeding?
