The source reflects the hook, and the article appears appropriate, but the hook doesn't make sense to an average reader. Suggest something like: that the Sri Lankan Lanka Premier League cricket team the Kandy Tuskers is owned by Bollywood actor Sohail Khan? Sadads (talk) 13:41, 15 December 2020 (UTC)
- Template:Reply to I've took your advice with ALT2, does it look any better. Thanks. CreativeNorth (talk) 18:49, 15 December 2020 (UTC)

Sorry, but none of the hooks are accurate because they make you think you're clicking on Kandy Tuskers, not an article about their 2020 season. Please write a different hook that clues the reader to the topic. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 19:57, 19 December 2020 (UTC)
- Template:Reply to Is ALT3 alright? Thanks. CreativeNorth (talk) 21:54, 19 December 2020 (UTC)
- Template:Ping well, it's almost identical to another nomination, Template:Did you know nominations/Galle Gladiators in 2020. Try to be "hooky" rather than spell everything out. Yoninah (talk) 22:10, 19 December 2020 (UTC)
- Template:Reply to Sorry if I'm being annoying. But I've tried to make ALT3 less wordy and also added an ALT4. Thanks. CreativeNorth (talk) 17:17, 20 December 2020 (UTC)
- Template:Ping as I said above, these new hooks also make it seem like you're clicking on the team article, not the article about the 2020 season. I took a look at the article and gave it a complete copyedit. Please check to see that I understood what you were talking about (I know nothing about cricket) and then I will suggest an alt. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 18:05, 20 December 2020 (UTC)
- Template:Reply to Thanks for the copyedit, in your opinion what would you suggest for a hook then. Thanks CreativeNorth (talk) 18:30, 20 December 2020 (UTC)
- Really? I got everything right? I think I mixed up wickets and runs in several places.
- The Squad and Administration and support staff charts need cites, per Rule D2.
- ALT5: ... that though their captain scored the most runs of any batsman in the Lanka Premier League in 2020, the Kandy Tuskers finished in last place? Yoninah (talk) 18:40, 20 December 2020 (UTC)
