Malcolm Merlyn Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Who is the greatest Indian LOI batsman? Is it the "God" SRT? OR Is it the "Captain Cool" MSD? OR Is it the "Chase Meister" King Kohli? Discuss and Vote!!! Link to comment
Trichromatic Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 SRT. Still bit above Kohli and there is huge difference between them and Dhoni. Link to comment

Trichromatic Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Just now, Malcolm Merlyn said: Why Dhoni is so below Kohli or SRT? Dhoni has been good as finisher in both 1st and 2nd inning, but I think he missed out by playing at no 5 or 6. Depended a lot on hand eye coordination and already looks like a spent force after playing 280 ODIs. Sachin was still at peak while playing for that long and eventually surpassed everyone in world.

Dhoni's job was to finish which he did as good as anyone ever,just like SRT's job as an opener was to set up the game which he did as good as anyone else.Why degrade the position of a finisher? Tendulkar started playing at 16,dhoni at 24.280 matches is not a small sample. sscomp32 and Masquerade 2 Link to comment

goose Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Cannot compare eras but if you must it's still Tendulkar. You've just seen Yuvraj and Dhoni do what Kohli did on Sunday. Tendulkar did what nobody else could at the time. New guy, nevada and Vilander 3 Link to comment

kosingh Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Kohli's average of 53.10 is the 4th highest of all time, 0.54 away from being the 2nd highest highest of all time. I think I'm going with Kohli, simply because of the magic he does while chasing. Link to comment
