Jasprit Bumrah vs Rahul Dravid vs Kapil Dev

[PlayerComparisons]

Who is the third greatest Indian test cricketer out of these ATGs?

 

[sayon basak]

Washington Sundar.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Jadeja

 

[Cricket Bliss]

Cartainly someone among Dravid or Kapil.
Bumrah may have the potential to go beyond Tendulkar! but as of now can’t place a cricketer with just 9 years of Cricket and less than 50 matches against those who played 15 years and 131 and 164 Tests, gotta respect their longevity.

Yeah but Bumrah's performed at a level that those guys never did in their career. Imo, his away career is already better than those guys.

There is still time that it can go low. When you have such a record for 60-70 Tests and has played for 13 years, even if your career becomes goes down still it won’t affect much and even if around 70% career was near the GOAT level.
He has just played 48 Tests, his potential might be near GOAT level… but for consistently doing well Dravid and Kapil deserves credit.
guys like Botham looked like second to the throne of Sobers for more than 60 odd Tests.
By the way for fast bowlers performing in the flat Indian wickets is more difficult than away conditions, especially in a bowling era, yeah he averages well at home.

Its between Kapil and Bumrah.. Dravid a league below.

I know you love Gavaskar and Kapil, but Dravid's not a league below Kapil

It is the same difference between Botham and Miandad.

Dravid is in the same tier as Kapil and Botham

Dravid is in the same tier as Kapil and Botham

Don't have Kapil as an ATG, and Dravid definitely is, so.....

You have Mark Taylor ahead, that automatically makes your Kapil opinions as valuable as my opinion on Tom Brady's style of play.

Still waiting to hear what makes Kapil an ATG.

And yes, as a package, I'll take Taylor.

Dude, I believe I have told you that numerous times. You just don't seem to agree with it, which is fine in general, but you just act so shocked and condescending each time it's kinda laughable. I don't have any gaps in my reasonings as you do while placing Sobers ahead of Don while maintaining the secondary skills can't make you jump tiers. Kapil is an ATVG bowler and proper 30 odd averaging batsman, with intense longevity and workload, a solid fielder and captain. Not much behind of Botham for me. You don't rate his bowling highly, think of his batting as a tailender, and don't care about fielding or captaincy. It's just futile. But when you say something akin to Mark Taylor>Kapil Dev, I feel I would rather debate Jordan Peterson on his beliefs.

Tests :-

Dravid/ Bumrah( close probably Dravid for now)
Kapil
Jadeja
Ashwin

This will be my ranking. Kapil was a greater white ball player than test player but still a lower tier ATG one.
