Inspiration

I’d like to call the attention of my fellow Kagglers to use Machine Learning and Data Sciences to help me explore these ideas:

• Who is the best-avg bowler in whole PSL?
• Visualize wickets getting frequency
• Find a correlation between venue and wickets with toss winners
• Find a correlation between bowling averages, strike rate and consistency
• Find any hidden patterns that are counter-intuitive for a layman
• Can we predict after what no. of innings Wahab Riaz or Muhammad Amir can get 3+ wickets in PSL ?
