Who would you pick to play a clutch knock- Rank them.

[maniac]

Criteria: Batsmen who play across all formats 

Situation: A big occasion, a tricky situation ( Ignore the formats) and a world class bowling attack.

 

Here is the list with my ranking

Smith  (3)

Williamson (1)

Stokes (2)

Kohli (7)

Root (10)

ABDV (considering he is still active and will make a comeback) (8)

Rohit (4)

Butler (5)

 Babar Azam (9)

Warner (6)

 

If you want to stick with AB is retired criteria then you may add Faf du pleiss or any other batsman.

AB above Kane because he has played many clutch knocks in test cricket. In 2015 WC plain bad luck.

Explain RCB. Been there for years  and did nothing! 

 

AB is a choker

One player can only do to an extent, winning requires team effort.

Clutch knocks man not performing in normal matches. There is no doubt AB is a good player but he doesn't have good innings under pressure!

Vs RR 2015

Vs GL 2019

Vs SRH 2020

 

He is the only player to score three fifties in IPL playoffs. If you over-analyze, same can be said about a lot of players.

My go to pick is Ben Stokes followed by Steven Smith, third is Kane Williamson and then ABD and then the rest.

I don't know much about previous IPL KOs, new convert. I considered only internationals.

It it is for a WC knockout or something, I wouldn't touch the South Africans or Virat Kohli.

Even in this IPL, he has played some superb knocks including

 

v MI (took RCB past 200)

v KKR (probably a lone performer esp when it comes to playing at a SR that changed the game)

v RR (took Unadkat apart to win the game)

v SRH in the eliminator (again a one man show) 

 

If your definition is of playing well in a KO game - he did that too as listed above.

Infact if It were a video game you will give like 50 pc etc increase of certain attributes to Stokes and Smith if game pressure increases. Its like their skill. More pressure they get better, Dhoni was like that in the past.
