T20 World Cup 2026: In the Super-8 stage of T20 World Cup 2026, the match played between India and South Africa at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad was one-sided. South Africa registered a spectacular victory by 76 runs, in which David Miller’s stormy innings was important. But during the match, the broadcaster’s ‘skill meter’ showed such a figure compared to power hitting, which sparked a big controversy. Fans are fiercely criticizing this figure on social media.
Big uproar over ‘skill meter’ figures
In fact, the broadcaster’s ‘skill meter’ gave only 64 points to David Miller and 97 points to Tilak Verma in power hitting. This comparison of power hitting surprised the fans, because David Miller is counted among the most explosive batsmen in T20 cricket. In such a situation, the fans clearly declared it wrong. In this match also, a big difference was seen between the two players. In the match, Miller scored 63 runs in 35 balls, which included 7 fours and 3 sixes. At the same time, Tilak Verma was out after scoring only 1 run and his form has been weak in this World Cup. Tilak scored 107 runs in five matches, the average was 21.40 and the strike rate was around 118.

Fans raised questions on the skill meter. Many called it unbelievable, while some even called it a joke on the big player. Some compared Tilak’s skills with Miller’s and even polled whether Tilak’s skill set was better than Miller’s. Fans said that Miller’s power hitting was clearly visible on the field, but the meter’s rating was the opposite.

Rovman Powell added 59 runs in 35 balls, which included 4 fours and 4 sixes. Rovman Powell hit a six 106 meters deep. But ‘Skill Meter’ gave only 94 points to Rovman Powell in power hitting, which is less than Tilak Verma. Due to which fans once again raised this issue on social media. However, how the ‘Skill Meter’ calculates power hitting figures has not yet been clarified by the broadcaster.
