My new piece is out at @bestcricstories! I look at specific pitch characteristics to examine whether IPL 2026 was a let-down on pitch variety, and if so, by how much.
In case you missed it!
India surprisingly lacks a strong finisher for slog overs. Should've played Suryansh Shedge over Washington Sundar.
In an interview with @cricbuzz, Rasikh Salam discussed his diligent work on yorker execution. Yielded exceptional results this season, placing him in the elite quadrant for successful yorker execution.
Yorker success% can lie. In IPL 2026, the best death bowlers weren’t just the ones who landed the most yorkers. They were the ones whose yorker plan stayed cheap even when they missed. Pace bowlers, middle + death overs, min 30 attempted yorkers. (1/9)
ICYMI: I wrote on the character and mischaracterisation of pitches and answer what a fast and slow pitch really means in terms of what the ball does. Link in next tweet.
Rasikh Salam's defensive bowling attributes were overlooked by the Indian Cricket team's selection committee and team management. Given his current bowling form, handy batting ability, and reliable fielding, he should have been on the Indian team.

@BigHitCricket Thank you
Yorker success% tells you execution. Attempted-yorker RPO tells you whether the plan actually worked. The real death-bowling question: who lands enough yorkers, and who survives the miss? Wrote about IPL 2026 yorkers, RCB, Bhuvi & Rasikh. Link in comments.

Takeaway: In T20s, “who bowls yorkers?” is not enough. Ask: Who attempts them often? Who lands enough of them? Who survives the misses? That’s where death-bowling value lives. (9/9)
That puts RCB 2026 in rare company. Since IPL 2022, they sit second in yorker execution rate, behind only SRH 2023 at 33.9%. Bhuvi and Rasikh being two of the biggest individual drivers makes the team result unsurprising. (8/9)

Hazlewood executed perfectly, pitched on 5th/6th stump line outside off and released slightly wider of crease. Subtle extra bounce induced edge, securing Gill’s wicket. One less discussed aspect regarding Hoff is his improved pace, which is remarkable given his age.
One common tactic against Gill is bowling a 4th to 6th stump line early on when there’s assistance from the pitch, around a good or hard length. ff their line and length. (2/3)
In this area, his scoring rate drops below a run a ball, and he’s dismissed fairly often. However, it’s a narrow channel, and Gill uses his footwork to disrupt pacers’ line and length. The key then becomes to watch his feet & pull lengths back along the same line (3/3)

Since IPL 2023, Shubman Gill has shown a well-rounded game against pace, leaving bowlers with very few areas to exploit. Without some help from the pitch, getting him out is a really difficult challenge. (1/2)
