Abstract

In the context of procuring cricket players during an IPL auction, a comprehensive assessment of various elements becomes imperative, encompassing metrics such as batting average, strike rate, and total runs amassed for batsmen, alongside economy rates and wicket tallies for bowlers. The process of player selection inherently mirrors a Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) problem, wherein the challenge lies in reconciling conflicting objectives to identify the most suitable candidates. This paper undertakes an empirical investigation utilizing the multi-MOORA method, leveraging real-life data from the recent IPL 2023 season. By meticulously considering all pertinent attributes of players, we establish a prioritized ranking scheme. Moreover, we conduct a comparative analysis with established methodologies such as MOORA and WASPAS to discern their efficacy in this context, thereby shedding light on their respective strengths and weaknesses.
