About The Knock
The story behind the daily cricket puzzle, how it works, and why we built it.
The Knock is a daily cricket puzzle built around one unforgettable innings.
Each day we pick a single knock, whether from league/franchise cricket, ODIs, or T20Is, and strip away the usual giveaways. No photos, no names. Instead, you get the innings’ statistical fingerprint: a wagon wheel, a Manhattan chart, and a handful of additional clues.
Your challenge is simple: identify the batter behind the innings.
