Rohit Sharma - Mr Talent on Indian Soil

Rohit Sharma started his career way back in 2007. He was part of the 2007 t-20 world cup winning team. Virat Kohli in 2007 was just an under 19 player and only in 2008, he captained India in U-19 world cup. Ajinkya Rahane had not even made his ranji trophy debut until 2007 (He made his Ranji Trophy debut for his first-class side Mumbai in the 2007/2008 season).

Today, both Kohli and Rahane are part of Indian test team and Rohit Sharma is the most talented batsman in making.

Rohit Sharma’s Test and ODI records seems to be good at one glance with both average around 40 as a batsman.

Test Matches

Out of the 9 matches he has played 2 has been in India. If those 2 are not considered then his batting average outside India is just 20 with a highest score of 72.

Outside India

9 is just a sample size. Let us consider his ODI records.  He has played 126 ODI matches with a batting average of 37.89 which is decent.

He has decent record against most of the countries except South Africa (Ignoring Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Ireland and Hong Kong). He averages 39.24

In India, he has scored 2 double centuries and therefore his records in India are amazing. He has scored 1443 runs in 28 matches at an average of 65.59

Outside India he has done well in West Indies & Zimbabwe with over 50 + averages along with 2 centuries in West Indies

Outside India he has scored 2309 runs at an average of 29.98. If West Indies and Zimbabwe are not considered this averages dip below 24

These numbers just indicate that Mr. Talent is awesome on Indian Pitches, but outside India he lacks the talent!

RCB Salary structure from a numerical view

During last season they have spent their entire pocket of ₹ 60 crores to buy 21 player

The average salary for each player is ₹ 2,85,71,429

There is huge salary disparity among the 21 player, as the median is ₹ 90,00,000 with a standard deviation of  ₹ 4,19,07,576

75% of the team i.e., 16 among 21 players draw salary less than ₹ 2,40,00,000 which is less than the average salary

Now that they have released Yuvraj Singh, Muttiah Muralitharan, Albie Morkel, Ravi Rampaul, Sachin Rana, Shadab Jakati, Tanmay Mishra, they have ₹  18,80,00,000 remaining in their kitty

Currently they have spent of ₹ 41 crores to buy 14 player

The average salary for each player is ₹ 2,94,28,571

There is still huge salary disparity among these 14 player, as the median is ₹ 95,00,000 with a standard deviation of  ₹ 3,92,18,644

71% of the team i.e., 10 among 14 players draw salary less than ₹  2,69,00,000 which is less than the average salary. The rest 4 players earn an average salary of ₹ 8,62,50,000

Now with their remaining pockets and considering their average spending, it can be expected that they will buy 6 more players during the next auction.
