Overrated and Underrated Players

Mushfiqur Rahim - Underrated. He has improved so much in last few years and as a result became BD best bat. His technique is outstanding and can fine tune it. Should be batting at 3/4 though in all forms so he can keep on getting 100s rather than 50s.
 
Rahane is massively underrated i always rated him ahead of other current indian batsmen he will not give a century after every 5 games but he will give you the runs when it matters most.
 
Most over rated cricketer!!!

Who is the most over rated cricketer you've ever seen?
Pollard takes the cake for me, this guy is a nothing cricketer, can't remember even a single good innings he played in international cricket. He is poor even by the standards of T20 league, where he play one good innings after 20 odd failures & his bowling is even atrocious, he looks like a Tarzan but bowl like a little girl.
 
I personally think Mohammad Amir is a tad bit overrated. Still probably immensely good but I suspect he will not be as good as he was back in 2010.

I would also say Hafeez is vastly overrated for his abilities and should no longer be indispensable for the team. Of the up and coming players, I feel that Sami Aslam is overrated along with Hammad Azam. Haven't seen enough of Babar Azam to make a judgement although he has been hyped a lot.

Underrated players would include: Mohammd Rizwan, Shehzad and probably Shoaib Malik who is an immensely talented player and a fantastic captain! Probably also Sohail Tanvir who we all disliked but was an effective bowler and a useful hitter down the order - however he did lack consistency
 
Michael Bevan has to be the most under rated ODI cricketer average 50+ in that era,.....
 
Overrated
Tamim
Mushfiq
Mahmudullah
Mashrafee
(Bangladeshi fans hype these guys up)

Underrated
Liton Das
 
Don't know but still have belief in Hassan Ali as Test bowler I hope he is working hard for Australia tour he can swing new ball and reverse old ball
 
Daryl Mitchell is by far the most underrated cricketer in the world.

He is a world class batsman in all formats and comfortably ahead of the likes of Babar but gets no recognition and adulation because he plays for NZ and isn’t one of those players who wants fame and stardom.

He plays cricket like a sport and is probably mowing his lawn and buying groceries on his off-days.
 
Overrated - Kohli, got a million centuries in odis but still can't win his team a world cup. Had a golden opportunity this time round.

Custom made pitches, batting for himself and yet gets out at the worst possible time for India. I have no doubt if this game was a bilateral game, he would have gone on to score a 120 odd of 100 odd balls which would have won India the game. But hey this is to be expected from a GOAT choker.
