In terms of competitors, spectators, and media interest, cricket is one of the favorite international sports. At the international level, cricket may be played in three formats: a five-day Test, a one-day International (ODI) for each squad of 50 overs, and a Twenty-Twenty (T20) for each team of 20 overs. Various online games that are based on the aforementioned cricket forms allow players to form a virtual squad of real-life players and score points based on how well they perform in real matches. A user gains better rank on the leaderboard if they get the most points in all of the contests they have participated in. Dream11 is one such online gaming platform which offers free and paid contests and thereby gamers can win some cash rewards. So users can select the eleven players and form a team. These eleven players should be selected from the two teams between which the match will be played. Additionally, these eleven players may be chosen from either one team or a combination of the two teams. To identify the eleven players for the T20 cricket format who can provide the maximum score to get the best rank in competitions, many studies employ Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM).In this paper, the TOPSIS method is utilized (weights of the performance factors of players are evaluated by using AHP) to determine the top eleven players.

In this manuscript, the mean of the study and the auxiliary variable, as well as the rank of the auxiliary variable, were needed to develop a new, improved ratio-in-regression type estimator for population mean. Up to the first order of approximation, expressions for the bias and mean square error of the existing and proposed estimators are computed. The effectiveness and stability of our new, enhanced estimator are evaluated using simulation and two actual data sets. The suggested estimator's superior performance to all other considered estimators is shown both conceptually and numerically. The mean square error is the lowest, and PREs out-performs other known estimators by a factor of more than one hundred. Overall, we draw the conclusion that the suggested new improved estimator outperforms all its predecessors.
