Kohli and it's not close imo
It's Kohli by a ****ing mile. He'll eventually come good and deliver the results his class demands. As I've pointed out before his Test best score is pretty pathetic really, he really ought to have scored one massive hundred by now.
kohli has the most potential by far but remains to be seen if he will fully deliver on it or not, could be anything
Vote then, ****s!Kohli will come good soon.
Haven't seen much of the other two although I did see Rahena against RSA and looked impressive.
Bang on.Rahane will be the best batsman in the world in 3 years time. He reminds of me Dravid even more than Pujara.
I think there was a Pujara interview before the tour that he's been trying to get more scoring shots and a broader range, so he seems up to it. Obvs taking a little time, but then that's okay.Crude comparisons but Rahane will be the Andrew Jones to Kohli's David Gower. Kohli looks like a king when he bats and you're shocked when he gets out and in the final round up Rahane will average a lot closer to Kohli than you would expect, despite Kohli being the one everyone will talk about in 20 years.
I'm not sure where Pujara will wash up. I think teams have worked out where he can't hurt them so they just bowl in the safe areas and wait, even if it takes 100 balls. He's plenty good enough and has the time to adapt though so if he does I think he'll have the highest average of the lot due to his ability to ruthlessly accumulate and bat time.
edit: better comparison for Kohli might be KP.
I agree with this somewhat. His feet and body movements, especially his head at the point of stroke, all look worse than Kohli and Rahane at the moment.Off both feet as well. I really like him and Kohli but I definitely find Pujara the harder one to evaluate. Has the record so far but he just doesn't look as good IMO.
Nah. Rahane : Dravid :: Kohli : Kohli :: Pujara : AmlaDravid:Pujara::Tendulkar:Kohli::Laxman:Rahane
I was thinking about the early Amla. Should have specified. Although that comparison is filthy as well, now that I think about itAmla can score at a run a ball against quality pace attacks. Pujara nothing like Amla IMO.
This is kind of already the case as well.They'll all have great careers IMO, but they all are so very different.
I think Kohli will be the one rated the highest by the general public across the board, while Pujara will have the best overall numbers and Rahane will have the best 'record' in terms of a standard CW analysis.
They're all still so young with so much cricket ahead of them though; so much could change.
Haha yeah, my predictions basically amount to "the current trends with continue for their entire careers", I suppose.This is kind of already the case as well.
