vvvslaxman Posted February 9, 2018 Posted February 9, 2018 I would take Virat in a heart beat. Way Virat constructs the ODI innings is unparalleled. Outstanding conversion. Great chaser. Nobody can orchestrate a chase better than him. If you are really in for some pyrotechnics, outrageous strokes, utter mayhem for short period you would choose ABDV. If you are in for slow and systematic annihilation you would pick Kohli. I am not going to put down ABDV for his lack of killer performance in ICC trophy knock outs. But i trust Kohli a tad more than ABDV in any situation.
The Dark Horse Posted February 9, 2018 Posted February 9, 2018 ABD's career is almost nearing it's end whereas Kohli has a long way to go. So in terms of consistency and longevity it's Kohli all the way.
SUMO Posted February 9, 2018 Posted February 9, 2018 During 2006-07 I felt that if yuvraj is on song he can hit any ball for a six or four no matter whatever you bowl to him. Similar feeling I get today from AB. Another guy who comes close to Ab in todays era is Rohit. I will watch best of these 2 guys over virat's best. maniac 1
Straight Drive Posted February 9, 2018 Author Posted February 9, 2018 Seems like almost everyone is of the opinion that Virat is best. Nobody on this thread has said A B D is better overall. With so many years left until retirement, Virat is set to post records which will be more difficult to be broken in ODI.

But i gotta say Rohit looks easier on the eye than ABDV. ABDV plays outrageous shots. But they are not necessarily elegant like Kohli's or Rohit's shots. Yuvi is such a specatcular player to watch when in flow. Power and grace Edited February 9, 2018 by vvvslaxman SUMO, Laaloo and maniac 1 2

No need to make fun of post-2013 rohit his record/impact may be equal or better than ABD(2013-18)
