The great Pujara v. Kohli v. Rahane debate

[Riggins]

where did rahane make all his FC runs? I remember he didn't want to open and instead wait for a middle order spot to come available or something.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

In India probably.

 

[Burgey]

How lucky are India though? Dravid, Tendulkar, Laxman only ended 2 and a half years ago and they've already seemingly replaced them for the next five years plus.

It's far too soon to be saying that.

It's far too soon to be saying that.

nowhere near too soon enough to say they all suck though

 

[Cabinet96]

Well, obviously there not at the levels of the previous three yet, but what could've been a potential weakness is already seemingly a major strength.

Best 3-5 in the world? Faf, Amla and AB the only other real candidate.

Sanga-Jayawardene-Mathews isn't bad.

I don't know how you can say that when they haven't operated as a unit all over the place yet. Mind you, I rate both Pujara and Kohli really highly. Rahane has kicked off fantastically too.

Not for long.

They've operated as a unit in New Zealand, South Africa and England, doing pretty well in all three. I don't see why Rahane wouldn't score runs in any of the SC, Kohli has done pretty well at home and Pujara has been God like whenever he's played in India. Only leaves Australia as a place they have to 'prove themselves' as such.

 

[Burgey]

They'll get their chance soon enough.

 

[hendrix]

Ill be gutted if Pujara doesn't kick on

 

[Ray.]

Rohit Sharma is the best batsman of the lot . He just lacks concentration.. If he gets that right he'll be the best.

 

[NUFAN]

Just reading this thread for the first time and I find it surprising how some think 'its not even close'. I like Rahane, love his style and think he's going to become India's man for the crisis.

 

[CricAddict]

With the way that Rahane is playing these days, I believe this will be one of the frequently touched threads in the coming few years..

 

[Jono]

Yeah this is going to be bumped every time one is in form and the other two aren't.

 

[GIMH]

Kohli sucks

 

[Jono]

At least Kohli and Pujara didn't go out to Jordan

 

[harsh.ag]

Need to update this to a Pujara v. Kohli v. Rahane v. Aswhin thread.

 

[Arjun]

Rahane, easily, with Kohli falling back by a margin. Rahane's poor ODI figures suggest something's missing, but his Test figures outside India are simply superb. Kohli is still a little less than perfect, but he's owned Tests as well as limited-overs matches. Pujara struggles in limited overs as well as in Tests away from India, but he's got a good record across formats short of top-flight international cricket.

My take? Keep all three of them. But be careful. Unlike the current Indian team management.

 

[Jono]

My take? Keep all three of them.

What? How is not keeping them even an issue?
