Rohit Sharma vs KL Rahul

[Majestic]

Who is a better test batsman?

 

Discuss!

[Ajju]

Pujara

[Chakdephatte]

If you don't mention tests, the answer is quite obvious. Rohit is the GOAT one day opener.

[Chakdephatte]

Rohit. He has been India's best batsman at home for long. KL Rahul, apart from his 90 at Banglore and 199 at Chennai, has not played any memorable innings in India. KL Rahul is better overseas, but not by a big margin.

[Austin 3:!6]

Rohit will feature in top 10 Asian batsman of all time. Rahul is not quiet there yet.

 

Top 10 Asian batsman:

Sachin

Gavaskar

Virat

Dravid

Sangakkara

Miandad

Rohit

Inzamam

Laxman

Anwar

I mentioned tests.

[Vijy]

Neither have convinced fully. Rohit is doing well only a long time, and his overseas batting has been curtailed by injuries. KLR is highly inconsistent.

KL better test bat but RGS is in better form!

KL was memorable throughout that series, without his 5 (6?) fifties we'd lose 3-nil. He was also the top scorer in Pune!

that was the best he's batted in his career so far. he looked in sublime touch, albeit with no 100s.

I think had Rohit played this test, he might well have put up a show here given the form he is in. The opposition bowling attack was clearly lacking venom and didn't troubled the openers enough.

We usually forget consistent 50s, it's human behavior. Except the two fifties at Banglore, his other innings will be considered good, but not memorable.

@Kothili, why? Are you a Rohit hater? You can troll vote this one as well but please explain the rationale behind it. I am ready for an open discussion if you want.

[vvvslaxman]

Both have technical glitches. Just that KL Rahul has reduced it more.

for now, he has reduced them. let's hope he maintains them. KL looked great for a while, then went into a slump. Hopefully he can return to, and then maintain, his best.

REmember how many times he was clean bowled when he started his career? Almost every other innings he was getting bowled.

yes, it was happening often. I also remember KLR's chinks being exposed by WI in '19. He seems to have turned a corner, but he's inconsistent
