State Captain
Anderson has great longevity on his side and a pretty looking overall average since Kohli's debut, whilst also being somewhat more consistent over that time frame. However, I don't feel like he ever had that dominant period where he took lots of WPM at a great average and Kohli had the 16-19 period where he was extremely influential for India so that swings it for Kohli IMO. Would also have KW ahead of Jimmy too.

International Captain
Yea Kane > Jimmy for sure. This one is a bit closer because of Kohlis last few years but he probably still takes it for his high ceiling

Tough, but I'd give to Anderson for being in the ~ top 3 bowlers for over a decade

Kohli didn't quite sustain that level of dominance, though he did have better peak contributions in more important away series imo.
