When will Rohit finally get his dues?

[Prabhdeep Singh]

Forget fab 5 nonsense, Rohit is in a league all by himself.

 

In terms sheer talent better than all of them.

 

I believe he will continue to play Test Cricket post world cup to further improve his record in that format also, still has decent record with 10 hundreds @ 46 which better than everyone bar Kohli in current squad.

If he gets 5000+ test runs, he is legit atg across formats. But we don't prepare flat pitches at home.

MSD ? 

Not saying he is will be a test great but one of the ATG batsmen who had good career across all formats.

A century on 14th and he is my best batsman from India

Dhoni is no ATG, definitely not in Tests. Pant outperformed in 2-3 years.

Dhoni's greatness in odis also lasted very short time.say 7-8 years.He started becoming more of an accumulator after 2013.

 

He was serviceable from 2013-2015 but became burden to the team in all formats after 2015.

Sharma is "THE"  Mripl.

[putrevus]

Sharma is great in odis but he has done very little in other formats. He has stunk in all t20 world cups.The only notable performance in t20 is 2007 vs SA.

[straighttalk]

When he stands up in crunch situation..he is destructive in flat wickets...non crunch matches...and generally get the impression...he is good batting first and setting things up...it isn't that he is not recognized as an odi great but he is regarded a rank below kohli 

[Vijy]

he (and kohli) needs to do better in ODI WC KOs.

Both Kohli and Rohit had failure in one 50 over knock out  match 2019 semis.

 

2015 Semis and 2017 finals were lost before they came to bat.

 

Rohit has flopped in t20 knockouts too that is against him.

2015 SF was a fairly flat pitch. dhawan and even a waning dhoni scored at run-a-ball. it was not like 2003 final, where the target was higher and fewer 300+ targets had been chased then.

 

even 2017 CT counts as a failure, although not as much as 2015 SF

Rohit did score a clutch 30 not out in 2007 World T20 Cup final Vs Pak which India won.

That is clutching the straws.Rohit has been burden on the team in t20 cricket in knockouts.Wish he could have done what he has done here against England in t20 semis.He has all the ability.

 

Kohli was the top scorer in CT2013 finals and he was instrumental in Indian innings not falling apart with his partnership Gambhir in 2011 finals.

 

But no one in right mind would attribute those two wins to Kohli being clutch in odi cricket.

 

Both of them have been utter failures in knockouts in 50 overs cricket. There is no way to sugarcoat it.

 

Kohli has few t20 knocks in knockouts where he stood out.Rohit was no show there also.

I still have SRT clearly ahead.

 

The quality and depth of ODI bowlers that SRT faced at a time when cricket was not ruined by T20 cricket, cannot be underestimated.

Get his dues ?

 

Multi-millionaire, Drives a Lambo, Captain of India, Captain of Mumbai IPL team, Crores of fans and Lots of Buffet food  later.. what dues 

[IndiaWC8311]

For what? He is a perennial failure in big games. Chickens away from tough away tours in test matches and says "come to india"

[putrevus]

This nonsense that Sachin somehow faced more quality bowlers and did well against them is ridculous.Sachin was perennial failure in all formats when hi steam needed him most.

 

Most away tour test wins were about others like VVS, Dravid contributing.

 

Sachin hardly faced Ambrose and Walsh togther, nor did he face Waqar and Wasim togther more than handful of tests.

 

There is a reason why our Genius Sachin never cracked 900 rating in either Tests or Odis.

 

You play 200 tests and 500 odis, you are bound to score more runs than anyone else.Those records are as useless as they come as they have no significance.

 

Sachin was nothing more than steady eddy.Was he great yes but he is not  GOAT in either tests or odis,

 

Yes he has operation desert storm and revenge game against Zimbabwe.
