Asian fans obsess themselves over league of the players rather than league of the team..

MoYo, himself the king of soft runs criticising another fella for scoring soft runs 
Kohli is already much better than Laxman and Dravid in ODIs, and has the potential to be as good as Tendulkar in ODIs. However all three of them are better than Kohli in Tests. I still don't get Kohli as a Test batsman.

He don't even need to be the best for India to win games and that speaks a lot about this current team talent-wise.
We need his captaincy more than the Kohli-the-best-batsman. So who cares. If I have to say, he's a lot more consistent than Laxman, but don't really think we need him to become next Dravid or Tendulkar.

Present day Indian team is doing better than past teams that contained supposedly bigger league players. Cricket is a team game, not an individual sport like Tennis, so as long as Indian team is doing well, they do not miss any past big league players right now.

Er, first of all Tendulkar, Dravid and Laxman themselves are not in the same league.
Here's my ranking of Indian batting greats (from those I have seen in action, so excludes old-timers):
Tier 1 (world-class ATGs): Gavaskar, Tendulkar, Dravid
Tier 2 (Indian greats): Vishy, Laxman, Kohli (has a chance to move up in the category above), Sehwag
Tier 3 (good batsmen): Vengsarkar, Mohinder Amarnath (a shame he couldn't make it to tier 2, but he was quite inconsistent), Ganguly, Azhar, Gambhir, Pujara (will definitely move to tier 2 by the time he's done) + I'm sure I'm missing a few more
