virat vs dhoni

[clownkiller]

who was the bigger superstar at their peak?

[cricketfan28]

Dhoni, the craze was next level.

[Serpico]

Dhoni wins the popularity competition easily 

[Forever Indian]

Dhoni by miles ..... Kohli is popular in Delhi bcos of being local boy, but outside that Dhoni ruled.

[IndiaWC8311]

Even today, MSD is biggest superstar despite retiring years ago, staying away from social media or interviews

That says it all

That'd be SRT - still hear "Sachin Sachin" in many grounds even after 10 years of him retiring. He also retired just "2 years" back.

He officially retired in Mid -2020 but we al know he retired after WC 2019 which is over 4 years

[R!TTER]

He actually didn't retire at all, he had to call it quits because Covid pushed the 2020 WT20 out. For all his achievements till say 2013 CT he left a mega blot on his career by staying 5 years past his prime, the iconic run out in his last innings was also something unforgettable!

Sachin >>>>>>> Dhoni >>>>>> Virat

 

Easily the three most popular cricketers in India far ahead of the rest.

i think sachin is more popular then dhoni they was and is considered got in india 

[cricspirit]

In between Dhoni and Virat, Definitely DHONI. 

 

Overall, there will never be anyone who will get on the same level as SACHIN. No one will be called a GOD.

 

Virat, Gavaskar, Dravid, Kapil are probably similar level popular. 

 

Not many popular cricketers had as many people who dislike them like Virat. 

[Majestic]

Most popular ever was Stuart Binny.

[Vijy]

Ind cricket craze has been declining. so, no one will quite top SRT at his peak, followed by dhoni. when we entered the virat era, cricket was already starting to recede somewhat

[Praveen 06]

Kohli

 MSD was a phenomenon for a period. Still now. Look at the IPL matches. He is the star of the show wherever he goes. This is not even a question. Kohli has a lot more critics. But i must say Kohli has more fans in Pakistan than any other Indian player has. But in India it is always MSD.

[First class]

For me, 

Kapil >>> ST>> Dhoni >> Gavaskar >>> Kohli

When u play only two months professional cricket. Every star cricketers will receive same response.  Sachin, dhoni, kohli all are almost have the equal popularity wise In their peak.

 

Kohli have so much popularity in general public ( who are not watching cricket regularly)

Kapil impossible. In 80s India population  around 70cr. Technology also not there
