RR's Chase vs Defend by Season

Identity Over Time

No Settled Split — Chasing Better in 8 of 16 Seasons

3+ matches per role per season

No fixed identity here: across 16 seasons, RR's better record has sat with chasing eight times and defending seven, with one season split even. The gap was widest in 2011 — 75.0% (6 of 8) chasing against 0.0% (0 of 5) batting first, 75.0 percentage points between them. Their later seasons have favoured chasing more often than the early years did, which went with defending — a shift in the balance, though the evidence stays mixed. 2019 was a blank defending: 0 of 5. 2025 flipped against the majority — 50.0% (2 of 4) batting first against 20.0% (2 of 10) chasing.
