Kohli is a kid in front of AB DE as far as Tests are concerned. Marginally better in Odis and well ahead in T20 Is. AB De is a Legend and future ATG in Test Matches.

He will end up as an ATG in all formats.

When it matters the most, Kohli succeeds more than ABDV. ABDV fails when his team needs him the very most.

He doesn't choke in Test cricket. Matter of fact when SA requires an innings from him in the longer format, he rarely misses out.

Kohli needs two more years to match ABD in tests, but ABD may have gone a step higher by then. The forthcoming English and Australian tours may decide whether it is going to be sooner or later than that. I hope it will be sooner.

Start the comparison early :fishing:

[Cricketics]

ABDV is very talented and who works hard and makes full use of his talent. Just pure batting manner, Kohli is mentally very strong and works hard and doesn't make the same mistakes again. Learns a lot from his previous dismissals and corrent them fast. In one word, Kohli puts price on his wicket more than some of the other players do these days.

[Sidhoni]

If Kohli does as well in Eng and Aus later this year as he has done in SA then he may just pip AB for me.

[Lord]

Kohli is better in ODIs. In Tests Kohli's not even the best Indian batsman let alone be comparable to AB.Long way to go yet. In T20s.Its close AB can go mad whereas Kohli handles pressure better.

[Straight Drive]

Quite a few players have had a dream run for an year or two in tests. That is why we look at the bigger picture when comparing players. Mike Hussey had an average of 80+ for his first two years' date=' but he turned out be a much lesser mortal over the longer term. At this stage Kohli has not done enough to merit comparison with AB.[/quote'] I agree. Rather than a fair comparison it is a mis-match imo as well as far as tests are concerned. A B D after so many years averages 54 which is excellent. Virat has time though on his side to take it from around 45 to 54.
