This area chart visualizes the runs scored by 20 cricketers from various teams in 2024, with each player labeled on the x-axis and their total runs on the y-axis. The chart uses D3.js v7 to generate an SVG rendering, employing `d3.area` to create the filled region beneath a `d3.line` overlay, while `d3.scalePoint` positions the players and `d3.scaleLinear` maps the runs. Orange dots are added using `d3.selectAll` with `join` to mark individual data points, and each dot includes a title tooltip showing the player’s name and runs. Data comes from the `cricket_stats.csv` file, loaded asynchronously via `d3.csv`.
