Muralidharan,kallis,imrankhan,hadlee,warne

In which way? Fame? Money? Wickets? Runs? There is more than one way to answer this question.

 

But yes, he is proving to be one of the most impactful players. Hope he goes on and on and on.. (and replicate the success in overseas too, he is capable!)

MVP for India, looks like may be edging Kohli out as his lower order batting is saving out arse too many times these days combined with his obvious importance for us bowling. Basically VVS+ Harbhajan thats a lot.

I would say more like Kumble+Dhoni(the test batsmen). 

Main spinner and the main lower middle order batsmen.

Add another MOS to the list after this series is done

Agreed a little less than VVS in batting and a little more than Harbhajan in bowling.

have you lost your mind ?

Top ranked allrounder n bowler currently , can bat, bowl even field now lol, team player n a fighter.

His batting is more like VVS good timer n has a good eye n decent technique but good balance, only thing now for him is to prove his mettle overseas n he will do that.

He will be a all time great by the time he retires, India's Murali n Azhar all in one, also he has batted well all over which even some good Indian batsmen haven't done , like Rahane in India, Ganguly in Australia, SA.

he is lesser than VVS for sure, just plays on drive in a similar fashion and is uniquely nonathletic like him. 

[Vilander]

you mean he is a lot lesser, yup thats right. VVS is proper batsman 50+ FC average if i am not wrong, thats a given.

soon he will be equaling imran khan in half the number of games and series played

He might be equal but imran had a secret weapon that Ashwin doesn't posses.

The second big grouse that I have with ICF is that all these proclamations of greatest ever are supported by random statistical data. 

It doesn't capture the more important stuff, like the relevance of an innings. eg: A player could have scored a 170 in a non pressure situation batting first and another could have scored a 40 when 50/6 to lead his team to a win etc.

All time greatness is to be measured with moments of magic on the pitch, not from a printout of averages.

Yep. Which is why Sehwag and Kapil Dev are legends and ATG.

That's not random stats, it's the number of MOS awards. You cannot win 7 awards in 14 series by being irrelevant.
