Vijy Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 (edited) 8 hours ago, Jay said: Not even close. Even laxman is greater than him based of tests feats. There is hazare, patuidi, dravid Sachin, sunny, amaranth,mankad, shsewag vishwanath. you forgot our greatest test opener - the Merchant. not trolling, just repeating what Sunny himself said in an interview. pataudi was disabled, so what he did is amazing. but purely on statistical grounds, he and mankad would not be in top 10. In no particular order, here is India's top 20: 1 to 10: SRT, dravid, sunny, VVS, sehwag, brat (kohli), hazare, viswanath, amarnath, merchant 11 to 20: vengsarkar, pujara, ganguly, fixer (azhar), sidhu, gambhir, umrigar, vijay manjrekar (sanju's dad), rohit, Pant [if bunt continues to play well, he will enter 1st tier] honorary mentions: borde, dhawan, sardesai, rusi modi, pataudi, murali vijay Edited September 11, 2022 by Vijy Jay and Lord 2 Link to comment

putrevus Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 (edited) Kohli is only behind Sachin tests. Dravid and laxman were not even half the players Kohli at his best in tests. Edited September 11, 2022 by putrevus AuxiliA 1 Link to comment

Dravid and laxman were not even half the players Kohli at his best in tests. one should not look only at peaks. otherwise, amarnath would be greater than sachin because his brief peak was higher than anyone I've seen/followed since 1970s. ask someone like @Gollum if you need more corroboration since most of you bacchas weren't around back then. taken over the entire career, Dravid, Sunny are above Kohli. In fact, Sunny G was scoring heavily as opener for 1st half of his career (a peak), then his form slowly fell away. Kohli's test form will potentially continue to drop, in which case he may even go below sehwag. Edited September 11, 2022 by Vijy Gollum 1 Link to comment

Vijy Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 Just now, Jay said: He is below laxman even VVS was an underachiever but a genuine match winner. Kohli on the other hand was an overachiever who maximized whatever (limited) talent he had. consistency wise, VVS will always suffer because he was an up-and-down type of batter, but the kind of clutch knocks he played were truly amazing... not even sehwag, dravid, SRT (his contemporaries) achieved that Suhaan and Jay 2 Link to comment
