AB De Villiers vs Virat Kohli
- Thread starter Johan
- Start date

That's a big brain move.
ATG in Test and one of the top 4 batters in ODI, and probably the best batter in IPL.

Smart decision from AB to retire early since now he’s the only batsman to average 50+ in both tests and odis
sayon basak
Cricketer Of The Year
One of your favourites is close to that as well.
Johan
International Coach
De Villiers isn't really a Test ATG
sayon basak
Cricketer Of The Year
If Compton is an ATG, so is ABD; and Compton is ATG imo.
Johan
International Coach
ABD is moreso elite ATVG while Compton and Weekes might be the lowest ATGs
sayon basak
Cricketer Of The Year
Disagree. There is no way Weekes and ABD are in different tiers/levels.
Johan
International Coach
there's barely much gap between barely breaking into ATG territory and an elite ATVG imo

Kohli is the best all format (Tests, ODIs and T20Is) batsman. AB comes next. Despite being an AB fan, have to admit it.

How.
AB clears in Tests. Both are equal in ODIs. Kohli is much ahead in T20Is.
Johan
International Coach
I think T20s should be judged by more than just International stats

School Boy/Girl Cricketer
If that's tha case, yeah AB all the way. Still Kohli edges in longevity I feel. Wish AB played for 2-3 more years.

Anyways, I don't think most people really gave any high weightage to T20 Cricket whilst voting here.

Yeah even I don't. But T20 leagues are loved by fans more. In India, you can clearly see IPL > T20WC. And no body cares about T20I bilaterals.

International Debutant
AB clearly superior in ODIs.
After Era adjustment- similar avg, AB far better in SR.
Rest everything is just made up BS.
Tier 1 - Sachin, Viv and AB
Tier 2 Kohli
Tier 3 others

Kohli dont have single Good ODI WC performance. ( he was a slow accumulator in last WC )
Averages around 20 in tournament finals with only one 50+ score ( just) in 10 matches.

Williamson and Root are both over 49 in ODIs. Anyone else close?
