Cricket x Analytics: How Data is Changing Cricket Tactics & Captaincy ft. Soumajit Chail

Can data models predict the World Test Championship, and will algorithms eventually replace on-field captaincy instinct?

In Part 2 of our deep dive on Cricktake, data analyst and entrepreneur Soumajit Chail shares break down of his real-world cricket analytics projects - from building WTC dynamic race bar charts and simulation models to optimizing IPL match scheduling and broadcast revenue using Excel solvers.

We also debate the clash between data-informed and data-driven captaincy, the commercial reality of league cricket, and why too much data can lead to dangerous "analysis paralysis" for international players under extreme pressure.
