Data analysis:
The ratings were then compiled to analyze Fans preferences using ANOVA: single factor, allowing for statistical evaluation of differences in Cricketers Skills .
The hypothesis for the test are:
- Null Hypothesis (H0): It states that all the Cricketers skills are the same.
 - Alternative Hypothesis (H1): It indicate that at least one Cricketer Skills is rated significantly different.

Since the P-value is 0.046 is less than the significance level of 0.05, we accept the Alternative Hypothesis.
Conclusion:
The ANOVA: single factor analysis yielded a P-value less than 0.05, leading to rejecting the Null Hypothesis. This confirms that at least one —Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Hardik Pandya and Suryakumar Yadav—has a significantly different preference level among respondents.
