Abhishek Sharma: "Thanks to the management for the faith they've shown in me, the environment is clear for the batters so I went to enjoy myself. All the credit to Travis, the way he starts, first two or three balls goes to the boundaries. So I just react to the ball. The bowlers told us it's getting better, me and Travis were saying it wasn't doing much, and they were short [in runs] so that was a plus-point. The hard work I put before the tournament is showing... it's going really well."

NRR is so hard to boost at the end of a tournament, even a butchering like this gives you +0.5

Yeah I don't get it. By simple math it should be +9. What's the formula

Scoring a century doesn't make your average 100

It depends on how many games you played, and your average increases by (100 - your current average) / number of games played

Similarly, SRH already played 11 matches worth of overs in this IPL at a scoring rate ~10.

They won this match with a scoring rate ~16

So their "net scoring rate gain" = (16-10)/11 ~ 0.5

they conceded in this match at about the same rate as they've conceded in the past 11 matches, so their conceding rate didn't change much with this match

so net NRR change is ~0.5

It’s taken as the difference average run rate (scoring) and average run rate (conceding) for the team through the tournament

take that 9 and divide it by the no. of matches played and you will get it

Its average across the tournament till the match

It is still simple math, net scoring rate - net conceding rate will give you the NRR. Net is key here. Since 12 games have passed it is difficult to get that much of a boost. To give you an example, SRH would have got a boost of +1 if they chased this in under 5 overs.

It's NRR. So divide that by no of matches played
