Pakistan Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 10 hours ago, Trichromatic said: 2nd fastest Indian to 20 hundreds Already eyeing most double hundreds record. Kohli is lucky that there is hardly any world class bowler in test cricket right now. During Sachin's times every team had one or two world class bowler from Donald to 2 Ws to all West Indian and Aussie fast bowlers. Switchblade 1 Link to comment

Steyn, Philander, Rabada, Johnson, Starc, Hazlewood,, Harris, Cummins, Boult, Broad and Herath are all world class test bowlers, with low bowling averages, against whom Kohli has scored heavily.... in most cases away from home.

That is true. Even though only Steyn can be called as an ATG among these bowlers...to have 17 off his 20 hundreds against these bowlers is certainly very impressive. express bowling and velu 1 1 Link to comment

We have to reduce both batting and bowling averages a bit, let's say by 2 for quantification's sake, to make them comparable to the '80s and '90s. Link to comment

While comparing I would agree the quality of Johnson and Starc would be similar to a bowler averages 2 points lower 20 years back. But that doesn't mean difficulty level for batsman is similar.

Most right-handed batsmen have found it very difficult to face Johnson and Starc bowling round the wicket .... due to combination of raw pace and some balls coming from blind spot Link to comment

Not sure about Hazlewood and Starc. Although Starc will be in ODIs if he isn't already. 8 minutes ago, express bowling said: And Harris and Philander should be called ATGs along with Steyn. Philander will be by the time he finishes. Harris just didn't play enough to be called an ATG. 11 minutes ago, express bowling said: And Kohli averages 55 against these bowlers : ) Definitely an elite record. Link to comment
Muloghonto Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 (edited) Virat isn't fit to tie Sachin's shoelaces. Made runs against way lesser bowlers and is yet to demonstrate the decades-old consistency the little master did. In terms of tests, he is distinctly the 4th best India has produced, behind Sachin, Sunny and Dravid, in that order.

Kohli may not have the technique of Sachin, but he has been a much more valuable player to the team than SRT ever has. When SRT played, VVS was the MVP of the team. Kohli's determination and fierce attitude is the reason for his success. By the time he is done, I think Kohli would have surpassed Sachin in terms of value to the Indian team. And this is coming from someone who idolized Gavaskar and loved seeing Sachin play. However, when the chips are down Sachin has not delivered compared to his talent. Link to comment

rtmohanlal Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Kohli still has some distance to cover before he can overtake Sachin. Longevity in performance is not an easy thing as Alastair Cook is finding out off late. BTW what a knock from Kohli .!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment
