Have you ever wondered what it takes to be a really good cricket player? Maybe you have thought about if there is something that could help you become a good cricket player or if you have to be born with some natural talent.
You might not call it talent but there is something that you´re born with that can´t be changed. If you´re still wondering what it is, it is your zodiac sign.
We analysed all the players to have ever played in the Indian Premier League to tell you what zodiac sign has scored the most runs and made the most wickets of all time.
So, if you’re in that stage of your life where you are thinking about whether it’s time to have kids, you might have to think about what time it would be ideal for the baby to be born if you want your future kid to become a kickass cricket player.
The IPL started off in 2008, so if you want to know which zodiac sign has performed best during all these years, I would suggest you keep reading.
As you can see in this table, Scorpio is the zodiac sign to have scored the most runs since 2008 with 45,120 runs which is 8,226 runs more than the second-best performing zodiac sign, the Libra, and 12,861 more runs than the Saggitarius.
The worst-performing Zodiac sign in this sense is Leo with only 6,978 runs since 2008, which is 38,143 runs less than Scorpio.
So, it looks like there is evidence that you might have a smaller chance of becoming really good at being the “runs master” if you are born between July 23 and August 22.
Ideally, you would want to be born between October 23 and November 21, if you want to be the next Virat Kohli, who is the player with the most runs in the IPL history, and guess what? He was also a Scorpio.
As this table shows, Sagittarius is the zodiac sign with the most wickets of all time with a total number of 1476, which is 140 more than Libra and 167 more than Virgo.
The worst performing zodiac sign in this sense is the Pisces with only 415, which is 1061 fewer wickets than Sagittarius. Leo is the second worst performing zodiac sign with a total number of 550 wickets, which is 1047 less than Sagittarius.
Also, in this table, Leo is once again performing quite underwhelmingly with a total number of just 550 wickets, which is the third lowest of all zodiac signs.
And when it comes to zodiac signs and IPL, you can find more than just player performance. Check out the IPL astrology predictions for the upcoming IPL 2023 and who is the predicted winner to win.
Conclusion
The Sagittarius is obviously quite high in both tables, which means that this is a zodiac sign that historically has performed very well in the IPL.
On the other side, we have the Leo, which is a star sign that has performed quite underwhelmingly in the IPL history and you might need to have a second thoughts when planning your future baby.
Hopefully, this article did not only provide you with information about planning a potential baby but also gave you some very insightful information about which star signs that have performed the best.
This information is always helpful if you want to show your friends that you have a lot of knowledge about Cricket and now you should be able to excel in all the future Cricket-quizzes you are going to participate in.
Methodology
We analysed all the players to have played a game in the Indian Premier League. We found the stats on Howstat and took a deeper look to find all the players' birthdates, so we could find their zodiac signs, and after that, we analysed how many runs and wickets the players scored during all these years.
You can find the complete data, here in this sheet.
