maniac Posted July 29, 2016 Author Share Posted July 29, 2016 Look at the date of this thread On 6/19/2013 at 10:21 AM, maniac said: Revisit this thread in 2-3 years and Root is going to be one of the Top batsman in world cricket. I mean he is not-intimidated at all batting in ODI's regardless of conditions and the way he played in his debut test in alien conditions,he has all the makings of a future great. Something about his swagger and confidence,tells me he has the game to flourish in all conditions. Guys Joe Root is the real deal. Damn.....Spot on......brilliant SUMO 1 Link to comment

maniac Posted February 5, 2021 Author Share Posted February 5, 2021 Stamping his legacy. Great player. Root in India > Kohli in England nevada, Stan AF, Indwin and 2 others 5 Link to comment
ungboysj Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 I think skillwise he was best among all modern day batsman but earlier was getting 50s and not hundreds He is much younger than other fab3 and bats in difficult home pitches Has done well in Asia too with only Australia the last fortress as batsman.also he is most dominant batsman among the 4 in tests I think he is now best batsman in world and for me best in Fab 4 when all is said and done atleast in tests Ps- very pleasing to watch too Link to comment
vvvslaxman Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 When Mitch Johnson terrorized him in Australia, he looked like he was a limited batsman. On those same grounds agains similar attack Kohli made 4 centuries. Now he is 30. Right about the time most batsman reaches their prime. He is making the most use of his form. That too India is his favorite team to play against. Averaging 63. Link to comment

However both have proved to be chokers in big matches, so jury is out on that front. Link to comment

Ffs Kohli had a bigger series in England(2018) than Root ever had despite home conditions. Link to comment
rtmohanlal Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 knee jerk reaction ..... Root is in the best phase of his career .... Kohli is past it . Smith too is doubtful of maintaining earlier high standards. Link to comment
