deathmonger Posted January 31 Posted January 31 1 hour ago, Gollum said: If Tilak with his 144 SR is able to win us KOs, big tourneys, yes he will be considered our best player. Just like how Samuels is a T20 legend despite 116 SR. Gayle may be the universe boss, Russell may be a hotshot, Pollard a mythical beast, all these guys may have been big names in IPL/CPL/BBL, but it was Samuels who won them their 2 WT20s, including what must rank as the GOAT knock which came in 2012 final. Against the hosts SL, he alone took them to a fighting score when all around him fell to single digit scores. Gayle scored 3(16) in that final, Samuels 78(56) !!!!! SL 100 all out on the same pitch, Kohli was even better but due to lack of support from his team mates (and bad luck), couldn't win any trophy in 2012/14/16. You need a player like that. In the England series also he had a clutch chase. Also not like he can't tonk if situation demands as seen in the series vs SA both home and away. Also just 23 so massive development left.
bsriharsha Posted January 31 Posted January 31 If managed right , Abhishek Sharma will be a generational shift on how people approach batting. He needs to keep his mind uncluttered and keep playing every ball on the merits. Irrespective of the formats. Even a couple of hard hits against the red ball will destroy the seam. The Indian team shouldn't curb his natural instincts New guy 1
nevada Posted January 31 Posted January 31 On 1/30/2026 at 2:01 PM, Austin 3:!6 said: No. Our best T20 batsman till date is Kohli. For me, the best ever is Yuvi. Hit six sixers in an over to catapult T20's popularity sky high, pulverized the Aussies in the semifinal helping us win the T20 WC. If we had an anchoring mindset and played timid cricket to crash out in the inaugural WC, there wouldn't be an IPL anytime soon. Yuvi's 12 ball 50 is still a record and may not be broken anytime soon. A batsman hitting all 12 balls for 4 would still be 2 runs short! IndianRenegade, New guy, Lord and 2 others 4 1

Gollum Posted February 15 Posted February 15 0(4). Failed in AC final. But yeah he is better than Kohli lol.

Rohit had ability to hit 100s which Dhoni even in his dream did not have it. Edited February 15 by putrevus Lord 1

Mariyam Posted February 15 Posted February 15 Just now, putrevus said: So what? So captain MSD is the greatest Indian T20 bat
putrevus Posted February 15 Posted February 15 Just now, Mariyam said: So captain MSD is the greatest Indian T20 bat No he not, he is most crappiest player and captain in t20s who was burden on the team in all aspects for a decade plus. sage, rollingstoned and Mariyam 2 1
cowboysfan Posted February 15 Posted February 15 He is FTB like Finn Allen,slow turners are not his cup of tea. Frustrated 1
Gollum Posted February 15 Posted February 15 (edited) Imagine having this conversation when we have produced Kohli, Yuvraj, Raina. Long long way to go. We can have this debate after 10 years. Edited February 15 by Gollum

vvvslaxman Posted February 15 Posted February 15 I think he looks thin. Lost a lot of weight . I think he shouldn't have played. Doesn't look like a fully recovered man. bowl_out 1
