Kohli + elegance = Gill

There is big big difference in the way Gill & Kohli bat..  I don't think there is much similarity.  Heck even Kohli & Rahane look more similar than this. 

[Serpico]

I think Gill's extra height is making his shots look even better. His pull shots look so effortless and casual

[Majestic]

The similarity between Gill and Kohli is their work ethics, determination and hard work towards the game. Both are textbooks though, however, Gill is clearly far more elegant and aesthetically pleasing to eyes batsman. I find Kohli's batting pretty mechanical.

They are nothing alike. Kohli never seemed like an "elegant" player to me. Kinda reminds me of Ponting the same way in that even though he wasn't the most elegant player of his time, he found a way to play to his strengths and score a lot of runs. I think at one point he was averaging 58 in Tests.

Gill is elegant and hence he’s often compared to VVS.

Kohli is a front foot player, Gill is a backfoot player. 

[Sandeep99]

No similarities at all. Gill much classier than lol 

[vvvslaxman]

I love watching Kohli bat. He is no less classier. His wristy shots through off side is awfully similar to Kohli. They are more or less similar. Both have some unique shots.  

 

Kohli: Uncorking wrists and whipping the ball over mid wicket or sometimes even long on

 

Gill: Semi backfoot cover drive.

 

When it comes to play through the off side of the backfoot Gill > Kohli. Kohli is predominantly a frontfoot player. His  first instinct is to come forward. But if the bowler tends to bowl short of a length his response won't be to go on the backfoot. He will stay a couple of feet outside the crease.  When it comes to on side Kohli is one of the best we have ever seen. I still remember how he massacred Malinga by walking right across the stumps and maneuvering the field. Not that he is bad through off side. Cover drives are breathtaking.  It will be fantastic to watch them together.

Yep.. Insulting to Gill to be compared with a man with over 20k International runs

[Soumo]

[Adamant]

I am sure that you are talking about his batting in ODIs which for a large part is quite mechanical coz he accelerates only at the last and plays run a ball for the rest of the innings. 

But in tests he is the amongst the most entertaining batsman. 

In t20is its two way, if he is not in form he looks awful but if he is in touch then we get gems like ind vs aus 2016 t20 wc, ind vs pak t20wc and ind vs wi last year.

Rohit Sharma's short arm jab is better than these two. 

 

But Yuvraj is obviously the King of short arm jabs.
