Was talking about Smith vs Kohli.
And 0.1% is an overestimation. Do you realize what the number will be if you multiply 0.001 by the population of India?

Well I did say less than 0.1%

That's just so lazy, specially considering the fact that you're a data scientist.

Why will they know him? The only cricketer before 1950 that is known to the average cricket fan is Don Bradman.

More people currently would know who Shivil Kaushik is rather than knowing Jack Hobbs

googled it.
people would rather know a dude with a goofy action than the (second) Greatest Batsmen to ever draw breath

Looks like Smith is going to prove me wrong about thinking his average would fall below 55

I think the only cricketers before 1970 that are known to most cricket fans are Bradman and Sobers

Even Sobers was not really very well known compared to Don Bradman

Didn't you once say that people in your area don't even know Messi/Ronaldo? Don't think they'd even know Don.
They'd know Bhuvneshwar tho.

Yes. It depends on age and gender as well. In my village, my aunts and uncles have never watched a single game of football in their life.
My grandfather literally watches only IPL and the only names from past he has told are the “short guy who scored against WI bowlers” and Sachin.

Why?
T20 lasts for just a few hours and more entertaining for 99% of the people who watch cricket

What do you mean by "why"? You don't think people preferring to watch IPL rather than actual cricket isn't tragic?

I think this is wrong ftr. It's more in the vicinity of 0.3%.

It's not real cricket.
