My theory that Kohli's peak is already behind him is gaining momentum.

Still think Rabada has a long way to go before getting to Steyn level.

Considering he is 24 and Steyn is probably a top 5 bowler of all time, I'd say you're probably right.

Across formats, his last 7 matches has seen 4 fifties and 2 centuries. I don't think there is much to worry about.

I was comparing more on their class and bowling ability than comparing their records. Steyn was a complete bowler and I don't think he struggled in his first visit to India like Rabada is now.

It depends I suppose. Wrecking ball bowlers like Steyn and Rabada can be quiet for a few days on series with flat pitches, but have that ability to completely run through an opposition and effectively win the game in a session if things come together.

Yes, but Steyn's exploits in India were just next-level. If we're to use Steyn's India exploits as the marker for judging a bowler then he's even a class or three above McGrath, who played a single match and averaged 43 in his first India tour. This was coming off three series where he'd averaged low 20s in each.
Also, Rabada has bowled in one innings so far on an absolute road. It's a bit premature to assume he's going to **** the bed this series.

Superb knock. Looks a very promising opener.

Slightly more consistent and a better pace but unless it is a raging turner both will get the chop hopefully.
