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.

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

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!

lol no way is Rohit ahead of Yuvi and MSD ahead of Abhishek and Raina is a joke 

You have to tell AI what percentage weightage you have to give to what. Rigth now it assumes 33% each.

How is MSD even a t20 player.Both of them stunk in world t20s except odd innings here and there.

 

Rohit had ability to hit 100s which Dhoni even in his dream did not have it.

MSD has many GOAT IPL innings.

Imagine having this conversation when we have produced Kohli, Yuvraj, Raina.

 

Long long way to go. We can have this debate after 10 years.
