Comparative Analysis of Player Performance Across Nationalities in the Indian Premier League
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: This study investigates the performance differences between Indian and foreign players in the Indian Premier League IPL from 2015 to 2023, focusing on batsmen and bowlers. Using data on runs and wickets per match, the study reveals no significant difference in batting performance between Indian and foreign players, as confirmed by statistical testing. However, a significant difference is observed in the bowling performance, with foreign bowlers outperforming Indian bowlers. These findings suggest that IPL teams with a higher proportion of foreign bowlers may have a competitive advantage. The study also highlights limitations related to the timeframe and player availability, recommending future research to explore additional performance factors.
