Kane is the best Captain

Kohli is by far th best all format batsman. If Kohli focuses less on T20 like Smith, he would be better than Smith in tests imo. Underrated aspect that needs to be looked into. 

 

Btw Kohli is more clutch than Smith in t20 KO games. 

Smith is better in odi ko games. 

 

Root is well root

Next series between India and Australia in India will decide who is better between Kohli and Smith. .

Kohli has only performed bad in India vs Australia. He needs to fix that. 

 

He will be back with a vengeance to smash England again away from home.

S our indian fans have typical mentality.some people underrate Sachin also. Here all people talking about Smith knocks in odi knockouts. But kohli t20i wc ko performance >> Smith odi wc ko performance.

Oh here some people saying Smith is number one player because of ko performance. As per ko performance logic Gambhir is all time greatest player in LOI format.

I an telling you now, Kohli if he forgoes T20 like Smith and focuses very little on that format, he is easily better than Smith even. 

 

What Kohli did in South Africa in those conditions is unparalleled. Never seen a player as good as Kohli in those wicked bouncy unforgiving wickets. Kohli stood tall. 

 

Smith got wrekced by rabada in those conditions. 

 

Only edge Smith has is in swing conditions. I still believe Kohli will outperform him in India next time Aussie tour Indian that 2016 was a one off blip.

Kane Williamson great captain because under kane captaincy NZ played 3 icc tournaments 2016 wc, 2017ct, 2019wc. Reached semis in t20wc , group stage ct and runner up in wc. Smith greatest captain because aus played 2 icc tournaments under Smith. 2016 t20wc and 2017 ct. Under great captain Australia didn't reached semifinals in two icc tournaments.

No need. T20 format also important. Kohli should play all formats atleast 5 more years.

Lol actually our people really love to overrate our players and worship them like gods. They sometimes love worshipping players more than enjoying the game. And harrass people online who says anything critical about their favourites. Very cringy behaviour

No basis to say this when both kohli and smith play all formats and IPL. At best kohli plays 4-5 extra t20 matches per year.. I doubt simply saving an extra week will magically turn him into better test batsman

Not really. From what I have seen it's always the opposite. 

 

Our people love to overrate our past* greats from 90s era pariticularly Tendulkar. 

 

And then there are countless wrist slitters whose behaviour is far more abominable than any of the god worshippers you mention.

There is an article on that actually. I can link you later. Kohli plays a fair bit more than Smith overall. 

 

Smith doesn't take t20 as seriously as Kohli does. I am certain Kohli can pip him if he neglects T20 the way Smith does. 

 

Anyway next series vs Australia at home will decide who is better imo. Let's see. I respect Smith and I do rate him as one of the best ever test players however I feel he was helped by playing less games in T20 and bilaterals. He was less fatigued. Anyway we shall see soon.

Under Kohli:

 

World number 1 in all formats at different phases. Most importantly world number 1 for 4.5 Years and now again world number 1.

 

Reached finals of champions trophy 2017

Reached final of T20 World cup. 

Semi finals of world cup odi 2019

Yep, that can be cringeworthy ... I don’t know why “nationalities” should come in to play in regular cricket discussions ... For e.g. Pakistanis tend to pip the horn for Imran, Wasim, etc. You can be sure that in a poll, most of them would vote for a Pak player. Similarly, their mirror images in India (many even think that such forums are like devotional  services for some players :phehe: )

Kohli still better over all  as of now... don't  think  better  bowling  or captaincy or fielding  credentials  of other 3 are adequate enough to surpass the gap between Kohli  & them in batting....

Posted

Kohli without a doubt. 

 

But i have a different question here, thought about it quite a few times but no clear winner. 

 

Who amongst the fab 4 is the most talented batsman? 

Based on ability and strokemaking. 

Posted (edited)

Tests: Smith>Kohli>Root=Kane

 

ODIs: Kohli>Smith>Kane>Root

 

T20s: don't care but Kohli is GOAT
