ABD is a revolutionary of modern era LOI cricket. Just changed the way the modern day LOI cricket is played.

 

You can have your Kohli and Rohit for stats and most runs but as a neutral, de Villiers is a guy you would sit and watch to simply admire the beauty of his game.

and he is currently the only 50+ avg batter who scored at 100+ SR in ODIs over a long career.

He is better than both tbh.abd is a much better and more clutch than kohli in odi. He actually scores well in semi final of 2015 wc that he played.

what about 2011 WC where his brainless runout triggered another epic SA choke? ABDV is also choker, although not quite in Kohli league (when comparing Kohli in ODIs alone; not referring to T20s).

Yes but he was batting beautifully in that game, got to 35 and then had an epic run out choke with Faf at other end. Just finds a way to lose major knockouts.Perhaps the South African thing.

True. I would rather hve abd than this chewt kohli though. Both tend to choke but kohli gets chokeslammed lol

[Clarke]

He's called Mr. 360 for a reason 

[Adamant]

If placement of shots is being considered, then there is no one better than prime Kohli. 

Laraesque.

Yes, that knock was excellent. Before the rain had interrupted, he was batting normally and still batting at 57 of 38. Rain came after that and he had to set himself in again but Miller was smashing at other end so he didn't got much strike and ended not out at 65 of 45 balls.

 

Kohli will most likely end better because of all the statistics and consistency he will have but AB was just so more exciting to watch, never stat padded. Got three hundreds in India in 2015 ODI series, the last one was in Mumbai where he got more cheer than even Rohit or Kohli get.

I wish he had played 1-2 seasons more in the IPL. His batting is enjoyable to watch regardless of which side you are rooting for.

100%. Abd > both rohit and kohli imo. Dhawan is more clutch than all 3 though.

Kohli harnessed his inner dwelling choker the day he took over as  Kaptaan,had he stayed away from it he wouldn't have been this bad in KOs
