In the bowling department Harshal Patel got a similar treatment as DK did in the batting department. He was backed as a death overs specialist leading upto the world cup; was handy with the bat, and also bowled a 5 run penultimate over, which led to India successfully defending the target in a warm-up game vs Australia. However, he was suddenly discarded from the XI for the entirety of the tournament.

Wow that last chart and last few minutes were absolute masterclass from you and absolute facepalm moment for us Indians 🤦‍♂️

100%. We were too afraid to fail and that showed in our team selection. All players were good but were they good for the role they were assigned! You can share your findings directly to BCCI. Hopefully they will see it and use some data analytics to select team, given that we will have data for nationals as well rather than only IPL. Having said that, from where did you download your data from? :P

'The problem for Indian cricket is that don't look things in micro level 'I guess that sums up Indian cricket

I think the reason Bhuvi bowled up front was due to the swing they were getting in the first 4-6 overs. Match conditions should be considered in this analysis.

Ha when shami was brought back into the side I was laughing my ass off on what cluelessness is going on in Indian cricket.

Well I agree with those charts on the potential of the bowlers but India tried most of the bowlers who have great stats on respective phases of the game. They did not play in the world cup matches just because of their own performances leading upto world cup. Avesh Khan had only one good game and was really expensive. He had an economy of 13+ in death. Harshal came after the injury and he didn't pick many wickets and got smacked at the death too. Bhuvi was brilliant at the powerplays but couldn't execute at the death. Chahal was really expensive in the middle and provided no batting value. Prasidh Krishna, Deepak Chahar got injured. I don't think the team management could have done anything better on the basis of information they had before World Cup.

4:43 everytime i think ive seen all the graphs, jarrod presents a new one

This series has been amazing

My god.. your analysis (in this video and all others) is just amazing.

wow especially that last graph and the way you explained it really highlights the main problem india faces. great video (or videos) on this series jarrod

I would love to see Jarrod picking up the best 11 in each format for Indian by strictly looking at the numbers and the positions. Please like this if you guys are interested in seeing that so he would notice 😊

Great insights with numbers. It's my favorite video of the series so far...

Exceptional Analysis Jarod! Love this.

One interesting aspect re the bowling is that the SA and AUS T20I series that India played in the lead up to the WC were both very high scoring. Hence more wicket-taking players (like Chahal and Harshal) got hammered while the defensive options (Ashwin and Axar in particular) managed to thrive, which is why they perhaps made the cut. I think it was a reasonable enough selection but perhaps did not take into consideration the slower decks like Perth, where one more attacking bowler might have helped.

Jarrod your Analysis is good but Form is a factor as well. Bhuvi's death bowling in 2022 T20i's was terrible. Presidh, chahar were injured. Avesh khan had 2-3 bad series before world cup (England, asia cup). Selectors and captain could not have done much better. I agree though DK should have played semi final

Biggest issue in the WC was that we went with the same top 3 as of previous WC. All anchors.. and it WC Semi Final, first 10 overs 62 runs only. Match lost. I dont want to see Rohit and KL opening ever again in T20. Bring someone else pleaseeeeee

Keep them videos comin

100% correct Too many anchor players in both batting and bowling and players with similar playing style. And stike batsman and bowlers like harshal patel, yuzi were either benched or not selected. This meant opponents chased totals with no wickets lost.

Loved your analysis. Was curious, who's there at the extreme left?

All bowlers were very slow. Litton Das and English openers were hammering them very easily. Any batter had no problem in playing any bowler. . Comparing to India tour of England. We were confident that if Eng makes green pitches, it will favour India.

Make Jarrod Kimber chief analyst for Indian team asap!!

I think they should've backed Harshal Patel, he gets dip too and big grounds would've led to more catch outs.

I think it might be worth taking a look at the asia cup where harshal and bhuvi absolutely got blasted in the death. I think thats one of the reasons why bhuvi wasnt used in the death despite, on paper, being a better death bowler than shami and harshal not getting picked. Honestly, the bowling issues this world cup, apart from the non-selection of yuzi, was just down to bad luck. Harshal being out of form, jaddu and bumrah getting injured and three of the top strike bowlers are suddenly out.

India would've been in the finals if they had a full strength squad. Missing Bumrah and Jadeja was huge.

These guys are too afraid to pick young players. Mostly they will same tried and tested players even if it means that we have 3 batsmen of same type. With a below average bowling attack after bumrah rested for IPL, this was always going to be a disastrous

Bhuvi was in very poor death bowling form since Asia Cup, so they had to change their plans.

Jai hind to all indians 🇮🇳🇮🇳

It shows how important is Bumrah for India in SENA Countries/ seaming to flat conditions in 20-20. We cannot rely on Spin there. He is more important than any batsman.

So, a theme of this video and the batting video is that there are lots of Indian players who are performing very similar roles. Does something about the IPL encourage start Indian players into certain roles that are, dare I say, slightly more comfortable ones that produce better averages?

Dont let ipl numbers fool you...Bhuvi was getting smashed in 19th over before the world cup...He was poor at death

Indian bowling attack becomes really strong when Bumrah plays. It’s a fact.

Jai hind to all 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

There is a pattern occuring especially in T20 world cup knockouts.. from 2016.. all matches in semi finals and finals are being won by team batting second. The last time a team batting first has won a knockout game was in 2014 world cup semis when Srilanka beat WestIndies. So in number terms, last 11 knockout matches ( 2 in 2014, 3 each in 2016,2021 and 2022 ) have been won by team batting second. This pattern shows that team batting second is having advantage. Jarrod Sir.. please make a video analysis on this.

The only problem with this analysis is that Bhuvi was terrible in the death overs in Asia Cup due to which Bhuvi couldn't be trusted at the death.

Dinesh karthik ,selection was wrong both 2019 50ov wcup and 2022 t20 wcup. But the bigger problem was batters like Rahul,Rohit ,Virat are getting older and not suitable for T20.

Don't agree that Bhuvi is such a good death bowler anymore. He should be utilized more in powerplay when the ball is swinging the most

Jai hind 🇮🇳

Great analysis however when the part about Bhuvi being a great death bowler used to be true however isnt that applicable. If you compare all editions of IPL you are mostly talking about Indian wickets where slower balls/ wide yorkers help but not so much in the last WC T20 which was in Australia and Bhuvis performance leading upto the WC which included Asia Cup and the bilaterals at home, they really were not convincing to be given a go ahead in Australia.

Bro i know you love the "stats " of avesh khan but h underperformed and was rated very highly by the Indian management before the world cup...stats never lie but they never show the full picture

I think they do have a bit of bowling problem in this tournament: So middle overs was one, lack of first change bowling. And then spinner was another, Ashwin and Axar was underwhelming as well.

why are you only considering ipl no... Cause the team dynamics of Indian team is totally different..You totally ignored Bhuvi death over stats in Indian team leading to the worldcup...these IPL stats are most deceiptive

This simply means that India needs more data driven decisions which of-course in the long run will yield results just like English paradigm shifts for each format.

Bumrah, arshdeep, Natarajan and Umran should be the bowlers.

India is playing so much cricket with too many different squads that when it comes time for the ICC Tournaments they just about end up building a manageble squad but that squad has never played together... Ever. It even came to a point in 2021 where they had different playing XI for each match , whether ODIs or T20s. Add IPL to that where each Indian player plays for a different team playing a completely different role than what he plays for the National side.

Why can't India send 2 teams to the World Cup ? New Zealand with a population of 5 million gets to have a representation of 11 players and INDIA with 1.4 billion people also gets the same representation. 🤔 I mean how is this fair ?🙄 And where is this rule written that one nation can have only one team ? Going by this dumb logic had the partition of 1947 not happened, there would be 2 less teams in international cricket today. 😅 Just imagine if European Union 🇪🇺 was one country then the entire Europe would have only 1 team playing in the FIFA World Cup. 🙄 You can't compare INDIA to other small countries. INDIA is 1/6th of humanity. INDIA is a continent in itself. (Same goes for China) Indian players have to play under a lot of pressure. Firstly the pressure of expectations of the fans of this cricket mad nation and secondly the pressure of being in the team when there is an equally talented and deserving guy sitting out. No other country's players have to go through this kind of pressure. So the only way to reduce this pressure is by sending 2 🇮🇳 teams to the World Cup. Just imagine 2 Indian teams in two different groups of the World Cup with one sporting the dark blue jersey and the other wearing the light blue jersey. I don't think the ICC will have any objection either. India contributes to almost 80% of the revenue earned by the ICC and with 2 Indian teams the ICC can make more money out of it. So it's a win-win for everyone. 😅 This is the only solution. Food for thought 🤔 I don't know whether you read the comments Jarrod but if you do, would love to know your opinion. 🙏🏼
