Approach:

So what can we expect from the multiple IPL datasets?

It contains 6 datasets:

1. matches.csv
2. Players.xlsx
3. Deliveries.csv
4. Teams.csv
5. most_runs_average_strikerate.csv
6. teamwise_home_and_away.csv

First we need to explore each dataset and check each columns. Replace missing values in all the datasets and drop few columns too which were not apart of our analysis. We need to check for the unique values in particular column and if needed replace values with similar meaning it with a specific unique name.

From players dataset we can calculate most common bating style and bowling style. We can also get information about country from which most player are coming.

From teams dataset we can get names of teams that playing IPL and from matches dataset we can get information about winning team so we can calculate and compare matches won by teams.

From matches data set we get information about city that hosted most number of matches and we can also calculate number of matches played per IPL season. Matches dataset also contains data about player that won ‘player of match’ award so we can calculate who won the award most number of times. Matches dataset contains information about toss winning, match winning and toss decision. So we can check if winning a toss affects result of winning the match and we can also calculate what decision is made most frequently when a team won the toss.

Delivery dataset contains information about each ball delivery, we can calculate number of 4 and 6 runs from each delivery and group them according to seasons to count number of boundaries per season. We can also calculate each players run individually then we can calculate number of centuries and half centuries made by each player. We can calculate number of dot balls played by each player and check who played most of it. Delivery data set also contain information for player dismissal so we can calculate who took most wickets and what is most common type of dismissal is in IPL.

From most run average strike rate dataset we can calculate we can calculate most run made by batsman, average run rate and strike rate of top batsmen.

From teamwise home and away dataset we can get each teams’ win in home town and at other venues.
