Does Che Pujara bat too slow for the game? Why is batting slow even a problem? I dive deeper into the data of dot balls, slow strike rates, and how effective they are.

Fun fact : Pujara is the fastest indian to 1000runs
If I were him I'd get a Pr team to rebrand me the fastest man in Indian cricket
@@JarrodKimberYT what about Mayank Agarwal better to know
this 1000(2nd fastest) runs are wrt to inning, here we are talking abt his strike rate...(they are 2 diff. things)
@@captaindd694 Yeah, we all kinda know that my man
@@captaindd694 yeah but the amount of runs u score is way more important than the strike rate especially in tests where nowadays most test go only for 4 days

@@JarrodKimberYT should there be an argument on pujara changing his defensive tactic , so that his weakness is not exposed by good bowlers
Bumrah smashed hard at Cameron Green's head in the warm up games, so he would not play the series
@@rajeevkaushek7370not funny
Gabba 2021 when Shubhman Gill, Rishabh Pant and Washington Sundar were trying to take India to their greatest ever test and series win, there was one man named Cheteshwar Pujara who made sure that they don't lose.
You just don’t muck around with a player that can take 14 blows on the body and keep going. You don’t mess with dravid, you just need a sehwag at the other end. Puji’s got a Gill now.
And a pant.
@@_psychopath_5623 it is amazing to see them bat together
Have known Jarrod for a long time as he was working for Cricinfo but never knew he had a channel himself.
Absolutely brilliant content Jarrod👍
I am everywhere
In an interview Pujara said - its always easy to play shots to get out of the situation early n get out in the process and tough to stand there n taking the hit surviving n soaking up the pressure..
I mean if its easy, why would you opt to go for the tougher job and make it even more tough for the entire team?
PS: I love everything that Pujara does. (It is just that the toughest thing of all those that he mentioned in the interview is to find the balance between the two.)
@@x_ployt4086 agreed
@Riteshbabu Allam I agree, thing is the Aussies had their plans (mostly the field positioning) working against him which made it even more difficult for him to score. Yeah he plays dual roles. (i.e make sure the ball gets old enough before he gets out and manage to score runs off the loose deliveries.Also more often than not he ends up doing the former more consistently)The absence of virat had a major impact on the overall state of the game since Rahane and Vihari were forced to follow Pujara as soon as the openers gets out and since they have similar playstyle (I know Rahane can counter-attack at times but he had to be responsible this time around), the trio hence were forced to play Pujara-esque innings.
Finally I was disappointed to see that Pujara wasn't quite able to get through the Australian tight field position strategy (credit goes to their ultra-disciplined bowling lineup too) by the end of the series whereas Steven Smith ended up figuring out a way to score runs against Ashwin.
PS : Even if Pujara counter attacked (assuming that he managed to execute his shots perfectly all the time) those lines that their Bowlers opted to bowl against him was aggressive and they know that they don't need to change it unless he figured out to sneak singles. Whereas when Smith counter attacked those lines bowled by Ashwin, the bowler didn't have to much options since Smith was able to push the Mid off and mid on back at the boundaries generating opportunity for easy singles.
@@x_ployt4086 he opts for the tougher job because he doesnt want to go back early as he said. Although i agree to the point you are making
@@apoorvsingh4459 No shit sherlock
He's a big reason the team's success outside of Asia in the last 5-6 years. Doesn't matter if he's slow or quick, he's winning us matches. Great piece by the way, loved it!
Pujara had a set target of playing lots of deliveries as possible and tiring the Aussies bowlers and making the ball old. So the likes of pant can later come and capitalize on that. Which I think he succeeded in doing playing over 900+ balls in that series.
Surprised to not find too many Pujara bashers in the comments, oh wait they don't have the time to watch the whole video, too busy flexing their muscles, admiring their tattoos and riding bikes. you've attracted an eclectic crowd Jerrod!
Thats a genuine nugget: Test batting is like 'going on your first date'. Anyone who has batted in a declaration game should relate to that one :-)
ha
Without Pujara India couldn't have won back to back series in Australia..
Hats off to Pujara's defence
The positive side to Pujara's style of batting is that we can have more tests going deep into day five and down to the wire, making for exciting viewership.
This might just become my favorite cricket channel.
The peppy music, the data driven analysis and the kanye west lines are absolute winners xD
Pujara is the main Reason BCCI still has not support ed scrapping 5day match to 4day.
Jarod, i have to say that your analysis is too on point😂. I love it
cheers
Bowling to Pujara in tests is like bowling to Gayle in t20s
Kohli-Shastri dropped Pujara when they first came together in 2015-16 season. They tried their "intent"players but all failed. Pujara came back and gave Kohli his only achievement as a captain so far, an Australia Test series win.
kholi is overrated as captain.
Chutiya kohli and his chutiya tactics
Well at least when kohli came the illusion of captain being the main hero of team went away as India started to win matches similar to how we were winning under dhoni showed the captain is not the only thing which makes you huge
In which series did they drop pujara other than England first test?
@@YashChaphekar07 Aus 2014-15, WestIndies 2016. He was asked to open on a green top in Srilanka where he got match winning hundred and made a comeback.
Legend has it that Pujara came out of his 1000 ball long practice session only to check out JK's essay (probably gave a like too!?) and then went back for a 5000 ball long practice session inspired by this piece.
Cheers Jarrod, appreciate this and please keep these coming at a better rate? On second thoughts, I guess sustainably doing these for longer period of time counts for more than keeping these coming at a faster rate :D
I like all of this comment
People who say that you HAVE to score quickly in test cricket or SLOWER have tunnel vision, batting is an art that doesn't require one specific ideology to be effective , it's upto your creativity
commenting for the algorithm. Your stuff needs to be seen far and wide!
Pujara doesn't give a rat's arse. He just needs to remain consistent and he can get to 10000 runs.
Correct
Reminds me how Alastair Cook used to be critiqued for his ‘slow’ strike rate. Guy is England’s top scorer with over 12k runs at an average of 45; which for an opening batsman is phenomenal. Also doing so while captaining the side.
@@SeanBeatsMapson cook was a great captain and player at least for test
His average in the last 2 years is 26.35 to be precise. It will take him a while to reach that 10k milestone at that pace whether he gives an arse or not.
@@RD-fc6lm OK
Now, this one is really amazing. People always forget to see importance of impact playing number of bowls have on the game. And as a number 3 batsman, often it is his job to play out fairly new ball and give better chance to number 4,5 batsmans to bat against older ball. It would be interesting to see how many balls he faced (or strike rate) betweens 0-25 overs. And same stat for second new ball. I've a feeling that he scores faster facing 2nd new ball. Which is kind of obvious with tired bowlers but would be interesting to see that kind of stat.
Now that's a presentation, kudos to you!
Spot on Jarrod - Here's the proof = Its bit long but have a read
I am sure few decades form now, some guys like us will talk about this series. Maybe with the help of how'sthat they will see pujara scored 271 at just 34 runs per innings, saying he didn't have a good tour in 2020-21. But what they'll be unaware of is how did these 271 contributed in team's cause.
I tried to dig in to know what impact did Puajra leave on this series. Let's have a look at how many overs he encountered while his stay at the crease.
4th test (2nd innings)
When he came out to bat
Hazlewood - 4 overs
Cummins - 3 overs
Starc -1 over
Lyon -0 overs
When he was dismissed
Hazlewood -18 overs
Cummins - 17.2 overs
Starc - 16 overs
Lyon - 25 overs
4th test (1st innings)
When he came out to bat
Hazlewood - 3 overs
Cummins - 3.2 overs
Starc -2 overs
Lyon -0 overs
When he was dismissed
Hazlewood - 10 overs
Cummins - 11 overs
Starc - 8 overs
Lyon -7 overs
3rd Test (2nd innings)
When he came out to bat
Hazlewood - 5.1 overs
Cummins - 6 overs
Starc -6 overs
Lyon - 3 overs
When he was dismissed
Hazlewood - 17.2 overs
Cummins - 20 overs
Starc - 12 overs
Lyon - 32 overs
3rd test (1st innings)
When he came out to bat
Hazlewood - 10 overs
Cummins - 5 vers
Starc - 3 overs
Lyon - 7 overs
When he was dismissed
Hazlewood - 20 overs
Cummins - 20 overs
Starc - 14 overs
Lyon - 28 overs
2nd test (1st innings)
When he came out to bat
Hazlewood - 0 overs
Cummins - 0 overs
Starc - 1 over
Lyon -0 overs
When he was dismissed
Hazlewood - 6 overs
Cummins - 10.4 overs
Starc - 3 overs
Lyon - 0 overs
1st Test (1st innings)
When he came out to bat
Hazlewood - 0 overs
Cummins - 0 overs
Starc - 0.2 overs
Lyon - 0 overs
When he was dismissed
Hazlewood - 12 overs
Cummins - 11 overs
Starc - 12 overs
Lyon - 9.4 overs
I know all of us are good at arithmetic from calculating Strike Rates, session run rates to dot ball percentage. But what we can't see on TV is Does Hazlewood want to have another spell? Is Starc going to have same control after steaming in for all day? Can Cummins' body take one last extra effort from him? Are Nathan Lyon's fingers hurting?
Almost Every time when Pujara left the ground he made sure that his successor is facing less effective versions of Cummins, Hazlewood, Stark and Lyon. That's what your number 3 is supposed to do in test matches.
Goodness me... Those 18 minutes just passed like nothing... U r a genius buddy...
Double knee surgery has put paid to sharp singles for Pujara. Remember Cummins missing a straightforward run-out on the 5th day of the Gabba test, cuz he was too tired out by Pujara by then.
You got a subscriber due to this video, I haven't seen any cricket youtuber going to a such length that he provides such great unknown stats. Great job 👌
You are awesome....i loved it to bits....this is probably the best cricket content on youtube....thank you for this.
So much stats ....my brain wants rest🤣👍🏻
amazing analysis dude. i dont believe you spent so much time to prove what Pujara does it right. he is truely a great batsman which no conventional cricketer can understand
respect for you sir.. !!
Personally problem is not Pujara, he has a set role, plays a certain way and most often than not does it pretty well. It's the partnerships and other players around him that create the problem. If others don't try to be proactive and play at a same pace as Pujara (atleast when Pujara is batting below 50). The scoreboard doesn't move enough and if there is a case when couple of wickets fall along with Pujara, the pressure builds massively on the lower order as the balls are played without enough runs on the board and probably a second new ball within sights. At home it is fine as India score rapidly anyway but sometimes is visible on away tours.
Great content by the way! New Sub from now!👍🏼
Precisely and perfectly summarized. Looking forward for upcoming IND vs ENG postday analysis as well.
Cheers!
There should be plenty, stay tuned.
I am subscribing you for this analysis. There are lots of cricket channels on UA-cam but I never encountered this stuff till today. Kudos
Josh Hazelwood will be watching this video for the next series. 😂😂
😓 or may be not
9:55 I think steps 3 and 7 for the derivation of the quadratic equation are missing a minus sign. But then, they reappear in the next step, so no real harm done. Other than that, this video is just perfect.
Jarrod, this is crazy. Absolutely sensational content.
Pujara is an old fashioned test batter. In this age of bang bang slogging, he is a throwback to the old era. I dunno what the fuss is about. For every kohli/ponting/sachin, you need a pujara/cook/Sibley as well.
So much more to add to the game of Cricket. Magnificent presentation skills. Keep bringing more!!
Your data analysis and stats are fantastic.
Pujara did as the team role demanded him to. Abd and Amla did that in a test match in India just because that's what the team needs.
Boy, is that a great video! This channel will blow up soon.
Mate! This is a great video, awesome graphics and top of the line analysis.wish you luck👍
As always, A brilliant analysis Kimber. Have always loved your work
the general consensus after the series was that he tired out the bowlers enough for players like Pant to take advantage. Sometimes people ( including me) need to reserve judgement about how certain players play until we get the context of how the team went about and what the role was of the specific players
Very honest of you.
Couldn't tire out boult and co in nz tho? How about in Wi? The truth is he never really does, whenever the pitch has something in it for the bowlers. Good for flat batting roads, and does well in india and sl. That's about it.
@@poo-tinthedwarfbunkerb1tch535 Isn't that the case with most of the batsmen in the world? :(
There are just a handful batsmen in this world who can do well in all conditions and that's a fact. That's what makes test cricket the toughest format
One of the best ever presentation 🙌🙌
This is God level analysis
Cricket’s greatest poet Kanye West.. “Bat Slow Homie” 🤣
Pujara's is so close to figuring out the Matrix .
Not his strike rate , but my main worry about pujara is that he is not scoring as heavily as 3-4 years ago. He is getting out after scoring half centuries. I just have a feeling that age factor is slowing him up in run making and may be his best days are behind him .
This is my 3rd watch in all time and Jarrod, sir, what a piece of work. ❤
i love the stats and research you put into these videos
Just love jarrod's way of explaining cricket 👍🙌
Thanks, I love your way of commenting
Mate, just love the way u analyse with stats and graphics as well :) I strongly feel (regardless of series outcome), there is always a place for a pujara type of player in a XI. In a world where T20 cricket gets more and more prominent, Pujara with his stoic and perseverance crafts his way. In his recent interview with Sports Today when quizzed about IPL/ white ball - he ans that he still hopes to play for India in colored chlothing.
In the end, mate I wish you good luck and like ur content. You deserve more views and subscribers :)
I can't see how defensive batting will ever disappear, it's too important.
It requires on average very high quality balls to get him out..and is a good insurance player in terms of seeing off tough bowling spells..for example the mercurial cummins could have had a bagful of more wickets had he not to some extent blunted a cummins hostile spell or metronomic hazelwood spell under nibbling conditions
Have I just found the Jon Bois of cricket? Coz that’s dope
I started all this before I knew he was, but seeing his stuff work longform made us push to make longer stuff no doubt. Foolish baseball is great too.
In Ash's youtube video, he told that Pujara doesn't play attacking shots as it will make the field to spread out and only 1 run would be possible after that with risk free shots. But if he resists attacking shots, he can tap loose balls into the gap and get more runs.
I've been enjoying these videos. Can you please do a video on some of my favourite topics in cricket: 1.Was Dean Jones being dropped fair as he was still a world class batsman in tests in the 90s? 2.Can you do a piece on whether Vinod Kambli was wasted by the ICCB? IMO, he seemed like he was a better and more stylish batsman than Tendulkar but I've always wondered was it a combination of his recklessness/poor management that basically meant India wasted one of the best talents around that time? 3.Australian Selection Policy and our decline in test batsmen. Apart from Pucovski, it seems like selectors just haven't chosen a decent top order/middle order in a while. I didn't think Khawaja deserved to be dropped. Is the problem the selection policy or Sheffield shield cricket declining? Anyway, Jarrod, your videos are so insightful and great.
You never know what will take my interest.

Wow the amount of effort and insight that went into making this.. u da best maan!! Fan of yours from Sehwagology days 😄😄😄😄
Awesome video. Few things in cricket are as easily quantifiable as runs, standing firm against the likes of Josh and Cummins should definitely count for something.
Whoaaa... These are some numbers when juxtaposed mean a lot different. Thanks so much Jarrod! I shall let tyem sink in. I shall share this video with all my cricrazy friends and peers. *Just one wish... I wonder how your and Harsha's collab would be...

Best of luck mate! Love from India 🇮🇳🇮🇳
He's done it. Red inker podcast
If pujara had been notout and batting in the 'Run a ball situation' maybe with or instead of Pant. . . would India have been better off or worse .. I wonder? Any thoughts?
When you score slow It frustrating for the bowlers that is what Pujara is trying to achieve and done a good job which is working quite well for him (good job Pujara)
LORD PUJARA!! 🙏🙏🙏 One of a kind.....
Your video essays are pure gold
Great work! enjoyed the video a lot!
Cheteshwar pujara played 86 test match with average of 46 including 18 century and mohammad azharuddin played 99 test with avarage of 45 something including 22 century and with 63 strike rate and pujara strike rate is 40 when i compare these two stats i feel how genious was azhar beacuse he used to come for batting after 3 wickets plus in his bowling attack was more dangerous and green top wicket used to prepare for test matches salute to the legend azhar
azharuddin was class apart,he would have broken quite a few records if not for that match fixing/match fixing allegation....the closest we got someone like him is VVS laxman
Jarrod Kimber is a brilliant analyst. Awesome writer. Really enjoyed a lot of your articles around the world cup
Wow...just wow.
I guess you are distantly related to Ramanujan in some way
We're related in that we're both humans. Well he is.
@@JarrodKimberYT
Ramanujan is definitely superhuman
I find Pujara funny, in an interview he said he has not given up on his white ball career and has aspirations for the same. But his running is ridiculous and his big hitting is even more pathetic. The IPL money which his peers have earned over the last 8 to 9 IPLs is hurting him. However their skill set is completely different from his. Pujara believes in tiring the bowlers out, his negative gameplay is not going to fetch him any money. It is time he applies his mind towards scoring runs rather than playing for survival. Plus his record in England and SA is dismal for an experienced top order batsman, unless he improves he is likely to fail in the coming tours and will have to make way for the younger lot.
It's equalyly pathetic in west indies and nz too, and struggled mightily in this series as well and ended the series with an avg of 33, lower than that of tim paine
Great video.. applause to your efforts🙏
Pujara is rare in these times.
Wow!! This is a cricket nerds paradise. And he makes nerds smile with his comments
lol when pujara will retire India will know how much of a requirement a batsman like him is....Pujara literally shields kohli from the firey spells of bowlers and kohli does the returning job..kinda like yin yang
Huge respect to pujara
👏👏👏👏👏👏👌👌👌👌
He literally made the Aussie bowlers so tired and frustrated that made the other batsmen to go for their shots and for the win
The new wall after Dravid
Wow, great analysis! You are the CricData scientist :)

Only Sehwag can hit the ball into the river becuase he didn't like it. 😂
The only man in the world who can make this kind of videos is u.
There were others, I had them killed
@@JarrodKimberYT 😂 honestly speaking nobody can make such content.
@@JarrodKimberYT OMG . Is that why there aren't anymore 'polite enquires'??
If Pujara gets 0 off 100 and then gets 50 off the next 100 balls, he's done his job of wearing out the new ball as well as of scoring runs. But. If he gets less than ten off 50 and then gets out, he's failed both. It's a fine line and it's his own style. But Virat has an argument as well. There needs to be at least one batsman with a slight attacking mindset. Because you can't allow the bowlers to settle, or the good ball that gets you out will become even more imminent. THAT IS WHY India have decided to pair up attackers and defenders on the crease. Promoting Pant. Rahane playing both roles based on the situation. Pujara doing his thing. Gill, Pant and Rohit doing their thing. It's why India have batted so well for 7 innings in this test series. I'm not gonna mention what happened in the one innings they didn't :-(
Jarrod, you're the GOAT of cricket analysis
Ha
Imagine Jarrod , Harsha in the commentary. Would be a dream.
Let’s also throw in Warne and Vaughn for spice
Pujara is more like a main character in the anime "the time I maxed out my defence" 😂
Actually I think it was needed by the team. Last time Virat was around so Pujara was confident and had a nice strike rate. But Virat was not around and there was no other player apart from Rahane who could have stayed in the middle for longer time.
And due to him facing so many balls in the Brisbane test, India had chance to decide midway through the innings to either go for the draw or for the win- he was an anchor where Gill and Pant tried to win it for India.
I think Pujara's strike rate would have gone up if he'd made some bigger scores. I don't think he was consciously scoring slower because of Virat. I think the bowling was better than last time, and he was trying to do a similar thing but just didn't make it that far.
@@JarrodKimberYT but imagine the kind of pressure after getting all out for 36. I mean he was one of the senior most guy in the team along with Rahane- openers failed to score big, no proper contribution from no. 5&6- and apart from that it was the deadly attack of Cummins and Hazlewood. Hadn't he batted slowly and "ate" so many balls Australia had a definite chance to take all the wickets on day 5 of last 2 tests.
@@JarrodKimberYT
Exactly he got out with scores of 50 off 200 odd balls. Had he got a 💯 nobody would have cared about number of balls he faced as that would have automatically improved
@@nitlover8319 wonder how much he averages in nz, wi, sa and eng....and in aus ( minus the 2018 tour)😂😂😂

What a channel this is!
AWESOME, overall review. One of THE BEST ever!
All I got from that bowling stat graph is how much of an outlier Ashwin and Murali are, spinners amidst a crowd of pacers.
He does bat too slow but that's what I love about his batting
You can't go by commentators. The batsman could bat two innings at the same strike rate: the one where he scores 100 and the team wins, he "anchored the innings allowing the other to bat freely", the one where he he only scored 30 and his team was bowled out, "he put pressure on the other batsmen with his slow scoring".
I cannot disagree
Sometimes a team can bat too fast as well. You have to manage time in test cricket. On some types of pitches that start deteriorating on day 4, it's advantageous for the team batting second to make sure that the team batting first doesn't get to start their second innings early on the third day. In Pujara's case, his job this time was to hold up one end and as a result drain the batteries of the Oz pace attack and keep an Indian collapse from happening. That he didn't kick on to get a big hundred is a testament to the high quality of the Oz bowling attack.
Puji is that slow &steady tortoise🐢 who races against today's tests' hares and still manages to win the race... Grandma was always right 🤟
Rabbit stew
Pat Cummins said before the 2020 tour that Pujara was the most difficult batsman he has bowled to, calling him a pain in the back
12:11 don't know about the pressure but it bores me standing hours on crease and my parner playing every fawking ball.
