  1. 1. Tendulkar v Kohli v Dhoni:Who is the greatest India LOI Batsman?



Recommended Posts

Only thing that can be held against Kohli is that he hasn't face any good ODI bowlers in his career. Malinga, Ajmal to some extent. Maybe Starc in future, but that's it.

 

No wasim, waqar, McGrath, Donald, Amrose, Lee, Akhtar, Murali in cricket. Not suprising that all top wicket takers played in 90s- 2000s era.

 

You don't see swing and turn in ODIs anymore. This was not the case 15 years ago.

 

Reverse swing has been completely eliminated from ODIs.

Fielding is 10 times better than 90s.

Who is greater - Brahma, Vishnu, Mahesh.  

 

Troll thread.  SrT is the greatest ODI opener ever.  Dhoni the one-day batsman was a shape-shifter with ice in his veins, played with power early in his career, took the burden of captaincy and finishing - did better than anybody else ever at that spot. Add to that his leadership and 'keeping.   VK is a run-machine at #3 - master of the middle overs, absolutely brilliant in setting up a chase, finishing it often.  Maybe when VK's career is done, you can do a comparison.  Right now?  This is just a troll thread.

Kohli has more range of shots than Tendulkar but it would have been interesting to know how Kohli would have fared on subcontinent conditions in the 1990s when pitches were very slow and had low bounce, making it difficult to play lofted shots, plus there used to be lots of reverse swing then.

LOL wut :hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical:

There is a psychological aspect too.. Kohli seems the Greater of the two since India is winning many more games and has far more dominant ODI players these days.

 

Kohli is going through a form equivalent to Sachin's between 94-98 when he was simply a batting god. 

 

But an unbiased view is that Kohli has a bigger mongrel in him. Feel he is mentally tougher in more difficult situations. Also somehow his performances and attitude rub off on the team. Never saw this with Sachin, who may have been unlucky perhaps in this regard.

 

Kohli pips tendulkar overall.

 

Dhoni is simply Indias MVP in ODIS ever, by summing up as a WK and captain apart from being one of the best death over players ever.

Lot of difference, yes, but how much. Will Ishant Sharma become Wasim Akaram with SA fielding?

 

Will Anderson be as good as Donald in ODIs with Australian fielders?

 

 

Your favorite amir would have certainly become wasim with better fielding, according to the padosi fans at least :phehe:

Ishant once avgd 20 in AUS.

 

Will his overall career be as good as Wasim in ODIs if he is given SA fielders?'

 

Fielding creates a difference but it is not enough to compensate the difference which exists between modern bowlers and bowlers of 90s.

 

No bowler averaging 30+ will become an ATG even with 10 best fielders in the world.
