IPL - Chennai Super Kings -- Team Analysis with Tableau Public Vizzes

Dt: 8 February 2018

I have been looking at various visualization tools over the years to understand  how quickly one can adapt and create reports using each one of them.The tool that I have had the most fun using has undoubtedly been Tableau .

I was looking up their website and found out that they now have something which is called as Tableau Public.This essentially is a free tool with all capabilities ,The only catch is that the reports crated will be public and shared on their platforms.
But heck its a good solution for everyone of us who would like to learn the tool without having to spend big bucks.

So without spending much time I did set up some data from the biggest public event this year which was the IPL 2018 mega auctions .For my experiment today I chose the most popular IPL team over the years which is CSK.

I classified the players based on following criteria & on the basis of my judgement

Here are some of the reports which I could set up within a couple of hours once the data was set up.

This map shows the players who made big money as paychecks from CSK

CSK Talent Hunt

Gamechangers

Lastly lets look  at the types of players they Invested in.

Looks like CSK invested the most on Allrounders both in terms of money &  talent .We can predict that they are planning to win their next IPL by relying on their allrounders.

Thats it for the day. !!!

Note:
The reports are shared on Tableau Public
