Virat Kohli jumps past Steve Smith to become the 7th Indian to become the No.1 ranked Test batsman

Well deserved. He truly is the best batsman in the world. India is blessed to have him in their team.

If it wasn't for him, their rankings and team outlook would be very different, and not in a good way.

Yes, but not as blessed as Pakistan with Hafeez and his three facets.

Phenomenal batting by Kohli since 2016 in tests. He and Smith have turned the fab four into fab two and even there, it all comes down to fab one i.e. Kohli who has been outstanding in all formats of the game.

No one can quite compare to the phenomenon that is Sir Professor. He truly is one of a kind. I should have been mindful of my remarks and ignorance.

Padosis obsession with some of our bad boys is beyond me, Kohli is good but he is no Tendulkar, Lara class, has no second gear which means can not win matches single handedly in tests, this coming from an Indian Kohli fan, peace

He's better than the likes of Ganguly but in the league of Sehwag.

Sehwag had better attacking ability and was the single most destructive opener of his time with the ability to take the game away from you single-handingly.

Dravid was the exact opposite with compact defense and technique and scored tough runs. By tough runs, I mean that the opposition has India at 2-25 trailing by 100 and he comes out with a grinding 50+.

Sehwag would be ranked higher than Dravid had he scored a little better overseas and had something called footwork.

Gavaskar- The original Little Master and the first to score 10,000 runs

Tendulkar- The most complete batsman with almost every record mentionable and remarkable longevity

Kohli- Rediefined successful chasing and the first batsman to be as consistent across all three formats. He's also responsible for the change in the Indian approach and I see a lot of young Indians no longer being the meek acha-bachas of the past. (Something that PAK has suffered under the likes of Misbah and Azhar).

Wasn't the great Hanif Mohammad (Late) the original Little Master?

Wasn't the great Hanif Mohammad (Late) the original Little Master?

Yes,he was the first to have that nickname.
