Virat Kohli vs Misbah-ul-Haq - Who has the greater legacy in Tests?

[mominsaigol]

VK is better then Misbah but the fact that he didnt finish with 10K test runs and a 50+ avg is hilarious.

One of the biggest downfalls in the history of test cricket.

 

[sweep_shot]

Misbah took over when Pakistan was recovering from the spot-fixing saga. It was a tough period to be the captain.

Kohli had it quite easy. He was a pampered BCCI boy who didn't have to worry about any stress. He could behave like a lunatic and avoid penalties.

Misbah definitely had a greater legacy in Test.

The type of talent india has rn u can make tendulkar captain and they ll still perform great.
Its not like pakistan where u have to search with lamp for test quality players

 

[shamaan]

No I think Dravid is far ahead of YK. Nothing against Younis who I love.

I disagree on that one.

It’s fair to say there is no love lost when it comes my assesment of these two performers; being one of the most objective authorities on the careers of both men, I though it’s a good chance to sit back and examine who had the greater legacy in Tests.

Virat Kohli

- Average 46.85
- Majority of games in India
- Helped re-invent Ishant Sharma and other quicks
- Helped India to no.1 with the home advantage
- Steep decline during the end of his career and quit the toughest format in cricket


Misbah ul Haq

- Average 46.62
- Majority of games away from home
- Was very good at getting the most out of spinners
- Took Pakistan to no.1 with no home cricket
- Kept getting better during his later years and was vital cog in the Test batting line up and generally very consistent between 2010 until retirement.

A solid and objective comparison of both players by another fellow neutral authority in the cricketing world. One fought for his country the other fought with his urge to make babies.

Kissing babies and hugging fat girls* like my favourite @Bhaijaan

Just a lover of humanity.
Besides, never underestimate fat girls, yes they may crush your body but never your heart.

 

[pakfanta7]

kohli is far away from all

 

[pakfanta7]

kohli passionate about cricket

 

[umerz]

If Misbah had 8 to 10K runs then probably Misbah however it is Kohli. Despite averaging 46-47 in tests Kohli has played some majestic knocks in every country

 

[Mesozoic]

What even is this comparison?

Kohli was a better captain, batter, leader and a more skilled player with performances everywhere.

But Misbah is obviously more talented because he's a Pakistani.

Just shut up … anyone could’ve taken over Spot fixing era. Don’t hype him up… Misbah is cancer of Pakistan

Misbah was never talented. Yasir shah and Saeed Ajman got him those test wins.

 

[Mohraheem]

Don’t disrespect kholi comparing him to a cricket player who destroyed Pakistan cricket

 

[BreadPakoda]

Kohli's team was ICC ranked one for 5 consecutive years and won all over the world. To compare him with Misbah….

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Kohli’s Test team was dominant, ranked No. 1 for years, and won the ICC mace for many years.

Try to fight the urge to justify your points of view with facts when you’re talking to people who have already decided on their answers based on subjective opinions.

give misbah amount of matches kohli played.............. its funny to think misbah career started at age when kohli retired

 

[Major]

Fun fact, both were team mates in ipl

 

[baba ghazi]

Dravid vs Younis is a better debate.

Ask Younis this question and he will himself answer Dravid was better..
Both actually have good relations ..I remember Dravid publicly backing younis khan to come good in ODI format in his short stint as sport analyst

 

[umerz]

I understand however we can only judge them based on what they have achieved.

 

[shamaan786]

Actually, I don't think gap is that big. YK was a seriously good player of spin and has noteworthy performances in Australia and England .

Maybe peak Dravid was better than peak YK but that's about it.

I don't think Misbah is comparable to Kohli though for what it's worth.

Misbah is definitely not on the same level as Kohli.Dravid and YK are on par I think.

Unfortunately I don't have Younis Khans number lol.

 

[Local.Dada]

Virat brought fast bowling, fitness culture and swag to Indian test cricket. Virat brought what was missing in the Indian test side especially overseas which is “fear” in the opposition.

Misbah brought making best use of resources, maximizing the best results and a calm and classiness to the Pak test squad. Misbah brought a touch of grace and respect to Pak side which was a butt of all jokes after spot fixing scandal and the SL terror attack. Respect this man.

 

[big_gamer007]

Who would have thought 5-6 years ago that there would be threads comparing VK to Misbah. Even though it is a troll thread, Virat’s last few years made it possible to open such threads.

 

[Mohraheem]

Major psychotic fans believe everything

 

[BreadPakoda]

This can’t be a serious thread. Worse than Umar Akmal vs Kohli
