Introduction
IPL stands for the Indian Premier League, a professional Twenty20 cricket league in
India. It features franchise teams representing different cities and is known for its fast-
paced, entertaining cricket format. IPL has gained global popularity for its high-profile
players, intense rivalries, and innovative cricketing strategies.
The 2022 Indian Premier League, also known as IPL 15 or for sponsorship reasons,
TATA IPL 2022, was the fifteenth season of the Indian Premier League (IPL), a
professional Twenty20 cricket league established by the Board of Control for Cricket in
India (BCCI) in 2007. The tournament was played from 26 March 2022 to 29 May 2022.
The group stage of the tournament was played entirely in the state of Maharashtra, with
Mumbai, Navi Mumbai and Pune hosting matches.
Each existing team was allowed to retain a maximum of four players, with the two new
teams were allowed to select a maximum of three players before the auction.[25] The
retained players of the existing eight teams were announced on 30 November
2021,[26][27] and the two new teams named their selections on 22 January 2022.
The player auction to complete team squads took place on 12 and 13 February 2022 in
Bangalore.[30] Ishan Kishan was the most expensive buy of the auction, bought by
Mumbai Indians for ₹15.25 crore (US$1.9 million).[31] The most expensive overseas
player was Liam Livingstone, bought by Punjab Kings.
Although earlier reports suggested the addition of two more teams in the previous
season,[10][11][12] the BCCI delayed the expansion of the league until 2022.[13][14]
In August 2021, it was confirmed that two new franchises would join the league in 2022,
with a shortlist of locations including Ahmedabad, Cuttack, Dharamshala, Guwahati,
Indore and Lucknow.[15][16]
In a closed bidding auction held in October 2021, RPSG Group and CVC Capital won
the right to the two new franchises.[17][18] RPSG paid ₹7,090 crore (US$890 million)
for the Lucknow franchise, and CVC won the Ahmedabad franchise for ₹5,625 crore
(US$700 million).[19][20] The Lucknow team was named as Lucknow Super Giants in
January 2022,[21] and the Ahmedabad team was named as Gujarat Titans the following
month.[22]

Methodology

2.1 Collection of Data Sets: We collected our data sets from cricbuzz.com where
all types of data sets are available, as we required the data sets on the topic “IPL 2022”
in such a way that can be easily analyzable and visualzable.

2.2 Data Preprocessing and Filtering: As the datasets we have collected

previously, there were some data that was not relevant to our project so we had to
remove some unwanted data and format it as required.

2.3 Storyboard Development: The data contains information like -matches

played, runs, wickets, average, strike rate, catches, run outs, stumps, etc. Based on these
data we had developed stories,

2.4 Data Analysis: After creating stories from the data sets, we have done the
analyzing to it by using panda’s library and function like ‘groupby ()’, ‘sum ()’, ‘max
()’, ‘avg ()’, ’ head()’, etc. Which gave us the summary of each story.

2.5 Data Visualization: After doing the analyzing part we have done the visualizing
to each analysis by using plotly express and matplotlib which are the libraries used to
create graph ,so that we can easily understand the given data through graph ,we used
‘Bar graph’ in our visualization.

Conclusion & Future Scope

Conclusion:- In this paper, the performance of cricket players(batsmen) and toss

related analysis in IPL from season 2008-2018 has been visualized. Finding out the hidden parameters,
patterns and attributes that lead to the outcome of a cricket match helps the team owners and selectors
to recognize better players. A salary ofIPL cricket players is decided through the auction process. Thus,
it is a part of franchise and matter of decision making about which player to be bided for and at what
cost by the past performance of players in IPL. Every Selector needs young and dynamic players who
can handle the pressure calmly, and go towards the winning line.
This paper highlights the player performance especially batsmen and addresses the analysis that is
done for Maximum Man of the Matches, Maximum Centuries Scored by Batsmen, Top Batsmen,
Batsmen with Top Strike Rate, Top 10 Players with Maximum Runs. Statistics of 696 matches have
been used in this experiment and even for toss related analysis such as Count of Toss wins, Decision
taken by each team after winning the toss, Toss Decision Season Wise, Toss Decision Team Wise.
Based on the above analysis, the Indian batsmen are very good and are on top choice by the selectors.
SK Raina considered as the finest batsmen who is second in the top list of batsmen having maximum
runs, maximum man of the matches, maximum centuries scored, V Kohli at the first position of
maximum runs and even he is in the list for maximum centuries. All other Indian Star batsmen MS
Dhoni (Best Captain, Maximum runs and Maximum man of the matches), Rishabh Pant (second best
strike rate and maximum centuries), RG Sharma, S Dhawan, G Gambhir, YK Pathan and M Vijay
performed very well at the end of last five overs. Selectors have the clear choice to give preference to
Indian Players at first as they performed very well in season from 2008-2018. We also presented toss
related analysis, in which MS Dhoni is the best captain for CSK who won the toss maximum times
having count of 77 and elected to bat first. Their choice of bat first mostly results in win. Most of the
times filed first is elected by the captains so that they can plan and perform well by chasing. RCB,
KKR, MI and KXIP elected field first most of the times having count of 57 and 49. Selectors have the
clear choice to select batsmen from Mumbai Indians and Kings XI Punjab as this two teams handled
the pressure very well during all the seasons from 2008-2018. By considering all this visualization and
toss related analysis, Team Management can select the right players and rights teams at he time of
auction. A good and strong cricket team can be formed within a given budget, which will have the
highest chance of winning.

Future Scope:-
• To cater to its audience and broadcasters, the IPL is set to expand further in the next five years.
The number of matches is expected to go up to 94 per season with the BCCI also planning to
finalise the schedule in advance to ensure all cricket boards can plan their calendar accordingly
• According to a D & P Advisory 'Beyond 22 Yards – IPL's Evolution meets WPL's Aspiration, an
IPL & WPL Valuation report' launched on Thursday, the ecosystem value of the IPL is now
$11.2 billion, up by 3.3% from $10.9 billion in 2022.
