    Virat Kohli vs Rahul Dravid

    Dravid if it's against swing or have to play in a mine field. Kohli if it's against pace, bounce and seam. For spin, it's debatable.

    AB de Villiers vs Virat Kohli vs Joe Root vs Kane Williamson in Tests

    Root edges over AB against spin and swing. AB edges over Root against bounce and seam. Root edges over AB overall as he has played more matches. But AB didn't play tests for two years in his peak.

    AB de Villiers vs Virat Kohli - Better Test Batsman

    Before judging remember one thing... Kohli hardly faced quality spinners. Herath, Vettori, Swann, Lyon, Panesar who else ??. AB has faced Murali, Jadeja, Ashwin, Harbhajan, Herath, Ajmal, Abdur Rehman in sub continent and faced Lyon, Panesar, Vettori and Swann. AB has faced more great fast...

    Virat Kohli vs AB de Villiers (ODIs)

    When AB came to bat it was 114 in 26.5 overs. When Miller came to bat AB had already scored 60 off 38 balls. There was rain forecast even before the match begun. The match already begun with a run rate pressure and AB came to bat at the worst possible situation. Now just keep Virat Kohli in that...

    SRT is a failure ?? 141 vs Aus in CT 1998 knockout 53 vs Aus 2011 QF 85 vs Pak 2011 SF His overall stats is better than Kohli in ODI knockouts. But in one thing both are common. Both chokes outside Asian pitches when faced good pace attack.

    Virat Kohli vs AB de Villiers (ODIs)

    Kohli has only one better world Cup than AB. And that's 2023 because of home pitches. He has poor ICC series outside sub continent. And even in 2023 WC, he was just an anchor, played much lesser strike rate than team's strike rate. He was rarely a genuine match winner in ICC ODI events. I won't...
