Optimization of the top order of the Indian test cricket team

By means of this paper we have tried to establish the importance of batting order with the help of Operations Research Methodology to help decide which player should play on which place to maximise efficiency by trying out all possible combinations. The quantitative analysis is done using Assignment Theory and Simplex Method for top six batting positons. This paper explores in detail about the effect of batting line-ups and its effects on the game as well as its performance on bowlers. It also understands the Indian cricket team requirements in detail.
