Player intelligence
The read on his game
AI-generated analysis, grounded in his career numbers and role.
Sunil averages 17.4 at a strike rate of 165, a profile built for tempo rather than highlight reels.
Strengths
- Manipulates the strike better than the raw strike rate suggests.
- Exceptional square of the wicket, the cut and the pull are run-scoring shots, not survival ones.
- A genuine finisher: the strike rate climbs, not dips, in the death overs.
Ways to get at him
- Can be tied down early by disciplined seam in the channel outside off.
- The well-directed short ball is still a way back into a spell against him.
