Is this the most stylish top 3 in INdian ODI history?

Tendulkar was good all around the wkt and good to watch. While Kohli plays like how Spain played football in 2010 where you feel he is in control 

 

Other good players to watch are Sehwag and Pandya when in flow. It is like watching a young Mbappe of France in 2018

They are slightly below the more exciting - Mark Waugh/Adam Gilchrist/Ponting - The most stylish top 3. 

 

 

Gilly can be a bit agriculture at times. Also during Punter era, it was Haydos.

the question shud be who is more effective

Ganguly, sachin, dravid V/s Dhawan, rohit , kohli 

Dhawan i cannot consider him super elegant. Even the off side shots are more brutal than elegant like Yuvi, Gangu

In ODIs

Kohli>>> Sachin

Rohit >>> Ganguly

KL >>>> Dravid

 

The above was on performance

On elegance, Sachin was extremely elegant. Most elegant among the 6 guys mentioned.

I mean the shots that these three play are breath taking. So easy on the eye. Best shot was by Rahul when he opened up off side and creamed Hafeez over long off for a six.

On elegance KL is up there....but there's simply no comparison with Sachin...on elegance, Sachin is the finest ever.

Yes I am saying per shot basis. Overall, no one is more complete batsman then Tendulkar ever. and Rahul even though elegant, can go in his shell. We need to see more of him for a long time dominating the opposition to say he makes up the most stylish.

 

Indeed, Kohli and Rohit can be termed as stylish.

 

There really isn't any competition honestly since one player out of the three might make the combination look ordinary or okay. But Tendulkar and Dravid together were treat to watch. 

 

Dravid made tons of runs in ODI's and he was as elegant as one could get. He would use his pull shots regularly against top bowlers, something most players hated doing in the 90s. He had a top game on the leg as well as off, so that combination with class of Tendulkar was fun too watch. Ganguly was elegant on certain shots but not as a whole. It was that Tendulkar/Dravid which was more pleasing to the eyes.

Between Tendulkar and Dravid, Dravid is certainly more elegant. During NZ series they dedicated an article in a famous new zealand magazine how Dravid looks more elegant than Sachin.  Yes Sachin can be super text book at times without that flair like Lara, Yuvraj with that back lift, follow through. But Dravid had a way. I agree Ganguly on the onside looked ungainly also against short balls.  KL Rahul, Rohit, Kohli rarely look ugly playing any shot when they connect. Pull hook, drive, cut, dab. inside out.

Dude as a fan of KLR I object, Dravid was a different level in ODIs and his batting in 1999 WC was extraordinary. Hope KL does better in his career for India's sake but right now he is nothing before the original Rahul.

Kohli, Rohit, Rahul are definitely the most elegant in the world right now.  Our top4 of Dhawan, Rohit, Kohli, Rahul(if he settled at no 4) has the potential to be the best in the world for a next few years.

Dravid is one of India's most underrated ODI cricketers. He would probably find a place in my all-time India ODI XI for his versatility after 1999.
