Trichromatic Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Most of the other comparisons are mostly qualitative. But if you look for pure numbers, it seems Kohli's form in ODI is closest to Don's performance. Last 43 matches, avg of 100 velu, raki05 and UrmiSinhaRay 1 2 Link to comment

Jamadagni Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Sangakkara averaged around 90 for some period in tests. Mohammad Yusuf also averaged close to 100, amassing 1700+ runs in 2006. Link to comment

For example for kohli hos first english series was something completely opposite to what he ever faced. Bradman didnt get that kind of variety UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment

Everyone knows that. If he had played more against minnows, his avg would have been 150+ UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment

So its like Kohli playing all bis cricket against Eng Aus, SL and Afg during his purple patch. Uncovered pitches etc yeah but don was definitely much greater than his contemporaries after that it gets a little murky.. UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment

You can only play what is available .... it is not murky at all as there is an overlapping link: Bradman->Sobers->Gavaskar/Richards->Tendulkar/Lara->Kohli UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment
