Set 9: Coach John sat with the score cards of Indian players from the 3 games in a one-day
one cricket
tournament where the same set of players played for India and all the major batsmen got
out. John summarized the batting performance through three diagrams, one for each game.
In each diagram, the three outer triangles communicate the number of runs scored by the
three top scorers from India, where K, R, S, V, and Y represent Kaif, Rahul, Saurav, Virender,
and Yuvraj respectively. The middle triangle in each diagram denotes the percentage of total
score that was scored by the top three Indian scorers in that game. No two players score the
same number of runs in the same game. John also calculated two batting indices for each
player based on his scores in the tournament; the R-index
R index of a batsman is the difference
between his highest and lowest
owest scores in the 3 games while the M-index
M index is the middle
number, if his scores are arranged in a non
non-increasing order.
