Virat Kohli at the post-match presentation stated that he thinks Rohit Sharma is the best ODI batsman in the world.

Agree, disagree?

If you disagree, who do you think is the best?
 
Can't say.

All of these batsman have been starting at a tuk tuk pace.

Nobody is really fluent enough to stand out ahead of the others.
 
On current form he is. But he is too fidgety at the beginning while Kohli looks more assured on the crease. However Kohli has been unable to convert his starts so far.
 
Easy with double lives every innings.

Ha ha.

Obviously a very good bat - Id still put Kohli above him.
 
Well, that's obviously not true because Kohli himself is the best ODI batsman in the world today!

Rohit Sharma is definitely having a great World Cup so far though. I had him down as the one to score the most runs and he probably still will.
 
He's about as good as they come in good batting conditions
 
8500+ Runs
Average of nearly 50
SR of near 90
26 hundreds
3 Double hundreds
Highest ODI Score
Soon going to be holder of "Most Sixes hit in ODIs"

Obviously amongst the best, if not the best already
 
Definitely. He has it all what we need from an ODI batsmen (opener) in this era.
 
At the moment yes he is. Scoring four centuries in the tournament is testimony to that. This is not to say he will be that in a few months time.
 
Gets way too many lives in every innings.

But good thing is he capitalises on those chances.
 
He has hundreds vs Pakistan, South Africa, England and Bangladesh in this tournament.
 
How can he be if he doesn't help his team chase 300 against England in a smaller ground? Tuk Tuk cha cha never let Kohli build any momentum in the first 15-20 overs..
 
Kohli's being too generous. Nobody better than VK. Rohit is a close 2nd in current form
 
Rohit is one of the best, along with Kohli, Buttler, Stokes, Root, Williamson, Babar, Warner, Finch and Smith.
 
Haha no there is no ONE best. Everyone mentioned is an excellent batsman (forgot to include Shakib to the list) and can be the best at any point of time.

As an Indian it’s a matter of huge pride that it’s arguably a toss up between Kohli and Sharma for the last 5 years. Two absolute guns.
 
Have to bow down to Rohit , he and kohli are kings of the batting charts
I see a great future ahead for these young men and not just in 2019
 
Rohit finds it tough on pitches that have something to offer for pacers. Hence he isnt the best ODI player in the world for me. On flat tracks only, he might be the best and even better than Kohli.

So who are better than him in the ODI format?
 
Rohit has been in terrific form this WC but overall as batsmen he's still a long way behind Kohli.

Considering all conditions, Kohli is the best.
Other names could be Warner, Root, Williamson, Finch.

On Flat Tracks, Rohit is the best among them since last 4 years at least.

Considering all conditions, yes. They can bat well if pitch is green or spinning too. But Rohit is superior to them on true wickets.

Finch is a walking lbw in tough conditions. Williamson has nothing above second gear. Root and Warner at least have a solid argument.

Finch was a walking lbw wicket in seaming conditions. I am aware of that. However, he has improved big time now. But i can agree with you on him. Perhaps i shouldnt have mentioned his name.

Williamson can score at a decent click on tough wickets. He isnt explosive. For me he is better than Rohit considering various tough batting conditions. At least he will give you a steady score where Rohit wont make it past the 1st over.

What you're saying was maybe true 3 years ago but it isn't anymore.

His century in the first match against SA was on a very difficult pitch. Did you see that match?

You're kidding right? Warner is a sitting duck on turning tracks.

Finch, KW and Root are not even in the league of Rohit. There's daylight between Rohit and these guys.
 
A very strong contender for the player of the tournament.

Virat and Rohit are two of best odi bats among active players.
 
knee jerk reactions with out taking contexts what so ever. Haynes & Greenidge too were brilliant for the times they played in.Sachin & Sourav in their times.Like way , sure to have a few others too.
 
The second best batsman in the world at the moment after Kohli and the second best opener of all time after Tendulkar.
 
Some years ago he had a very poor series against SL and it looked like he was done, but if you look at his overall LOIs career there is no doubt he is one of the best openers ever!
 
Since Champions Trophy 2013 when he was sent to open with Dhawan, he has scored 7050 runs in ODIs at an average of 59.74. Truly one of the most remarkable career turnarounds in cricket. No one could've predicted that.

Rohit in LOI is mileas ahead than any of these 4. This guy always plays for the team. If he was selfish like Tendulqar he would have around 60 hundreds by now.
 
Since 2015 he has more century in LOI (Odi + T20) than anyone else.

Rohit: 28
Kohli: 22
Warner: 17

Good question. Kohli is no. 1. Rohit is very good on flat tracks. The only reason he is mentioned in the same breath as Kohli is because ODI pitches have become what they are. Kohli would be a great ODI player in any era. Rohit would struggle in most eras apart from our contemporary era - the age of the pancake wicket.

Except in swinging conditions Rohit would match any batsman in any era. But there is no category like "great ODI batsman in swinging conditions" lol Most batsmen would struggle to score.

Of course there is! Kohli can handle swinging conditions because he is a proper batsman. Did you watch him in tests against England? Kane Williamson would be another gun ODI batsman in any era. Amla was a master in all conditions in his prime. Even ABD has made tough runs in the first half of his career. Brian Lara, Ricky Ponting, Sachin Tendulkar? I consider all these players to be better ODI batsmen than Rohit in swinging conditions. They would be greats in any era.

Of course anyone can get out to a cracking delivery, but some have higher rates of success against swing than others.

Also, I should add, by ‘swinging conditions’, I don’t mean a grassy test match wicket. Just mean a wicket where it would do a bit in the first 10 overs, or back in the day when we had one cricket ball which would start reversing at the 35 over mark.

Pancake wicket era was introduced in international cricket to ensure matches last the whole distance and enabling the sponsors get full value for their input, also the stadiums can generate as much bar revenue as possible.

Cricket is no longer a sport for the tough cricketers. Heavily commercialised sport now.

Those are rare when ball has swung and even kohli has struggled in those. I remember 2017 ct final and 2019 wc semi final where it swung and both were clueless. Don't remember what kohli has done on helpful conditions in odis.

Jos Buttler is the best ODI batsman in the world.

So destructive when the platform is set. No shortage of shots or power.
Delivered on the big stage.
And shown he can rebuild an innings and plan or play a longer innings too.

Rohit a Bigger Impact Player Than Kohli: Gautam Gambhir

Former India opener Gautam Gambhir has picked Rohit Sharma over his captain Virat Kohli as the more impactful batsman of the two in limited-overs cricket. Gambhir, who has played with both, believes that although Kohli is ahead in stats such as runs and centuries, Rohit pips him as the best white-ball cricketer currently.

“For me white-ball cricket is all about impact. Kohli will end up getting many more runs than Rohit, and Kohli is among the greatest right now, but Rohit has an edge over Kohli because of the impact he has,” Gambhir told Sports Tak.

“I think he (Rohit) is the best white-ball cricketer in the world right now. He is not the greatest overall but at the moment he is the best. He is the only player to have hit 3 ODI double hundreds, 5 World Cup hundreds (in one edition) and he is also the only player, who once gets past 100-run mark, people say that he missed a double century.”

Refraining from comparing India’s two most premier batsmen, Gambhir feels Rohit takes the cake for his daddy hundreds, while Kohli can always be questioned for not going further after his century. Rohit has three ODI double-centuries, while Kohli’s highest score is 183, which he scored eight years ago against Pakistan in the 2012 Asia Cup. Besides, Kohli is yet to score a hundred in T20Is, while Rohit has crossed the 100-run mark four times, the first to get those many.



“It is very difficult to compare both of them. Virat Kohli is unbelievable. His stats prove that. But when your reputation is such that when you get out after a hundred, people say he has missed out on double hundred, that speaks volumes about you,” Gambhir pointed out.

Gambhir did not miss out mentioning the contribution of MS Dhoni behind Rohit’s rise. It was under Dhoni’s captaincy in 2013 that Rohit began opening the innings for India and realised he belongs there. As an opener, Rohit has piled 7148 runs at an average of 58.11. Before his transformation as a limited-overs opener, Rohit’s numbers were underwhelming, scoring 1978 runs from 81 innings.

It was under Dhoni that Rohit made his ODI, Tests and T20I debut, and Gambhir credited the former India skipper for never leaving having faith in the batsman.

“Where Rohit is today, it is because of MS Dhoni. One good thing about MS was that he always kept Rohit in the talks, even if was not part of the team, he was always part of the group. He never let him get sidelined,” Gambhir said.

“You can talk about the selection committee and team management, but if you do not have the backing from your captain than it is all useless. Everything is in the hands of the captain. How MS Dhoni had backed Rohit Sharma over a period of time, I do not think any player has been given such support.”

Gambhir reckons the time has come for Rohit to undergo a role reversal of sorts and like Dhoni, it is his turn to nurture the promising youngsters.

“Rohit is the prime example of how a player’s fortunes can turn around if he is nurtured by the seniors. I hope the young cricketers in the current generation, be it Shubman Gill or Sanju Samson, they also get similar kind of support. And now when Rohit is a senior, I expect him to back youngsters,” he explained.

Indian batting great VVS Laxman says the ability to remain calm under pressure is the reason behind Rohit Sharma’s success as a captain in the Indian Premier League. The 33-year-old led Mumbai Indians to four title wins, one ahead of Chennai Super Kings’ Mahendra Singh Dhoni, making him currently the most successful skipper in the history of IPL. The 45-year-old Laxman recalled how Rohit evolved both as a batsman and skipper since playing his first IPL with Deccan Chargers.

“He became a leader in the Deccan Chargers team. When he came in the first year, he was a youngster who just played the T20 World Cup, made his international debut for India,” Laxman told Star Sports show ‘Cricket Connected’.

“I think the way he was batting in the middle order, under pressure because the team didn’t do well in the inaugural IPL edition in 2008 ... Rohit was a standout performer for us.” Rohit is placed third in the list of most run-getters in IPL history, having scored 4898 runs in 188 matches at an average of 31.60 with a highest score of 109 not out.

“In each and every match, with each and every success, his confidence level was just growing, he was getting into the core group, helping the youngsters, voicing his opinion and those were early signs,” Laxman said.

“But for me, most importantly was handling the pressure because not once in those tough situations when he was batting did it show, and he has evolved and blossomed. That’s why he’s one of the most successful captains in IPL history.”

How many test hundreds Greig Chappel has in India/Pakistan.

Also this thread specifically talks about this ODI exploits, it's pointless and disrespectful to bring up his test stats here when nothing is being claimed for him as a test player

Ok....anything beyond this one inning? I hope one inning is not a bench mark for judgement on good/great in all conditions.

Also, as [MENTION=65183]freelance_cricketer[/MENTION] mentioned, this is regarding ODI's. How many ODI centuries does Rohit Sharma have in SENA?

Dear Brother,

Greg Chappell played only 4 tests in Asia, 3 in Pakistan and 1 in Sri Lanka. He scored a 235 in Pakistan and two fifties at average of 76, in Sri Lanka he played one test and scored a 66 in the only inning he batted. These stats prove that even in limited amount of games, he has done justice with his performance in Asia. He is widely regarded as the best batsmen of 1970s and among the top 3 batter of his era who has performed against different kinds of attack and across all conditions.

Rohit Sharma in contrast averages 31, 17, 40 and 15 in SENA with zero test hundreds and till date has struggled to find a permanent place in Indian lineup in test cricket. He is 33 years old now and doesn't seem to be getting any better. At home, even Mayank Agarwal and young little Prithvi Shaw are scoring runs but the real challenge is doing well in overseas test matches.

Thank you!

Again, this thread is about Rohit Sharma's ODI ability. How many ODI centuries does he have in SENA?

I am sure even Kohli does not believe that Sharma is even close to best in tests.
 
Rohit Sharma is definitely an all time great ODI batsman of this era, he proved himself even in WC2019 though it is a shame that he wont have a 50 over WC trophy, it looks a difficult job for him to carry himself in fit and in form in next 50 over WC

If he doesn't play any cricket this year we might risk of losing him, it would be really hard for the likes 30 odd year olds to commence training in this pandemic after a significant gap, so its important that he plays some professional cricket soon

Dear Brother,

You can google cricinfo statsguru, howstat and several other sites for any information related to statistics. Rohit is an incredible ODI batsmen and SENA thing don't matter in ODIs because pitches are flatter everywhere.

However, I am allowed to say that he gets way too hype for being just an ODI ATG. A Rohit Sharma earns far more and gets far more praise and love than a Cheteshwar Pujara does in India but I must say that the job of Cheteshwar Pujara is tougher. He has won his country a test series in Australia but in this era he remains in the shadow of Kohli and Rohit Sharma, the latter not even being a successful player in test cricket.

Thank you!

Of course you are allowed to say whatever you want. We are all free, aren't we. I was just pointing out that Sharma's test prowess or lack there of probably belongs in a thread that discusses that.

As far as your Pujara point is concerned, I just have two words - Marketable Skill. Sharma has a skill that brings in droves of fans which in turn brings him the $$$ that he earns. While Pujara has a different set of skill which unfortunately no one, or rather a shrinking number of fans bother with.

While one can argue that no one might remember how many ODI's or IPL championship Sharma won down the road, an argument can also be made that not enough people even bothered to watch Pujara win in Australia to even have an opportunity to remember.

I am not putting the long format down. Just stating the reality.

Sharma is a great role model. Quite apart from being an incredible batsman, he seems really grounded. If you watch any of his interviews, he never seems to show off or play up to his fame. If you didn't know who he was, you'd just assume he was an ordinary person.

Rohit has become second fiddle to Kohli only because of his laziness and lack of intensity. He had Indian cricket at his feet but the more determined Kohli surpassed him before he could get his act together.

Things that were in his favor:

- he is clearly more talented than Kohli, and was selected in the Indian team a year before Kohli made his debut.

- he is from Mumbai, the city of Tendulkar and Gavaskar, which helped enhance his hype because he was touted as the next great Indian batsman from Mumbai.

Today, Rohit should have been the face of Indian cricket and captain in all formats (and by extension, the face of cricket) with a bigger brand value than Kohli.

So I am not really sure if he is a great role model. He is a rare example of a player who has underachieved due to his nonchalant nature in spite of having a wonderful career.

That really shows he gifted he is. We are looking at a batsman who could have scored more international hundreds than Tendulkar and should have been a top 10 Test batsman in history.

You seem to have really high standard for your sportsmen. I mean not everyone is a super achiever like you, i mean you should stop judging people on their abilities because unlike you, not everyone is blessed with genetically gifted Avenger level Super Hero like you.

He is one of the finest ODI opener in the world, has won an ODI global trophy for his team ( CT 2013 ), is captain of the highly successful franchise in the most lucrative franchise tournament in the world. And on top of that, he is a father to a child and a wonderful husband on all accounts so he is happy at a personal level as well. Furthermore, his team mates are happy with him and seems to enjoy a good reputation. So he has all the making of a successful person and a sportsperson. If he would have taken criticism from super immortals like you seriously, he would not have achieved that much in life.

Rohit has had a wonderful limited overs career, but the truth is that he has been surpassed by Kohli in terms of legacy and stature which should not have happened because Rohit has superior God given talent for the game.

He is also a very good Test batsman, but he should have become one of the all-time great Test batsman as well and comparable to India’s finest: Gavaskar, Tendulkar, Kohli and Dravid etc. That ship has sailed for him and it is a little too late now for Rohit to leave a legacy in Test cricket.

You cannot be seriously arguing that Rohit has not underachieved considering the fact that he only has 2,000 Test runs and 6 hundreds at the age of 33.

Mentioning his personal life is pointless because we are talking about his cricket career here.

Again my friend argument stays the same, he does not want to be Kohli, he is content with his life. He would care a damn worrying about an armchair critic like you and me. Everybody is successful is their domain, whats this pointless comparison.
