In ODIs it's quite clear who the better player is... :facepalm:

But in Tests,imo, it's a different story.
I mean both are world class players but tbh Younis has an edge over Sachin
:yk2

Let me share the facts of both :)

Younis Khan:

Matches: 118
Runs: 10.099
Average: 52.05
100s: 34
200s: 5
300s: 1

Sachin Tendulkar:
Matches: 200
Runs: 15.921
Average: 53.78
100s: 51
200s: 5
300s: 0

So PPers what is your opinion about this?
 
YK - scored in difficult conditions of Australia, South Africa and England. Extra points for bullying Australia in Australia.

Sachin has scored more runs against AUS than anybody.

Sachin is better in every way except when it comes to the 4th Innings.

Sachin > YK
 
It has to be YK followed by a light year distance and then Sachin.
 
Who would you pick when the going gets tough and it matters the most?
 
IMO, Tendulkar is a nobody in front of YK.

YK led his team to a WT20 win while the former choked hillariously twice in WC final.
 
don't fooled by avg, the difference of match is huge. and still Sachin has higher average despite playing 82 more games.

Well done Indian fans! For once there isnt a mass attack from you!

I have busted all the myths on this one, YK was the bigger match winner by far :mv and since these Indians are so high on numbers ; let it be known:

Younis Khan

Test Matches
115

Man of the Match Awards
10

Match winning Ratio
0.0869

Sachin Tendulkar

Test Matches
200

Man of the Match Awards
14

Matching winning Ratio
0.07

Conclusion

If we multiply Younis Khan's match winning ratio by 200 games (the number of Tests Sachin has played) then the number of "Man of the Match" awards would equal to 17.39. On the other hand, it took Sachin Tendulkar roughly 112 Test matches to achieve the same number of MOM awards as Khan. And when you also factor in Sachin's lower MOM award ratio we can confirm without a doubt that Younis Khan is a bigger match winner then Sachin Tendulkar, the legends are indeed true with regards to Sachin's lack of making an impact and scoring runs in soft situations mostly.

Sachin could only dream of winning his team a match. Compulsive match loser.

I'm sorry but the averages are horribly wrong, both of these batsman were tail enders! The illuminati doesn't want you to know that YK and SRT only scored 10 runs off 118 games and 15 off 200 matches respectively.

In European countries following European system of writing number a . is used instead of a comma. I was also confused when I first shifted here for my job.

You should write averages like 53,78 if you are in Holland.
 
YK is once in a lifetime player while Sachins are born every decade.
 
Sachin, who? YK all the way. watching YK bat was like watching classical dance
 
I don't think Sachin would be able to get into Pak team even in his prime. It is a crime to compare any Tom, Dick, Harry type batsman to any Pak batsman. I am serious.
 
Why so?
Younus is a great batsman, agreed that sachin is better but younus has done enough to deserve a comparison thread
 
Childish behavior from the indians here but expected as they think nothing can be compared to tendulkar.

This alone proves OP's point!!!

YK 2 Times the Man literally :-)
 
Given that most Indian fans rate the WC above everything else in Cricket, YK captained Pakistan to a T20 WC in 2009.

YK faced mighty Indian bowlers where as Sachin faced Pak trundlers, oh wait, Ind bowlers are usually considered one of the weakest bowling attacks on PP.

I wish Indian batsmen had facility and comfortability of facing Ind bowlers in 1/4th of their matches

4th innings is the hardest time of all.

YK's 4th dig heroics elevate him to greatness.

For someone considered 'god' of cricket by most Indians, that is a mighty low bar being set there...if he cannot face a few decent Pak bowlers (I mean most Indians don't consider Waqar a great), Wasim only performed big time in 1-2 games against India, and rest were trundlers anyway; that is really pathetic that he could not even average 50, let alone his career average!

And that 42 was padded up big time due to the 240* odd he got on one of the worst wickets for bowlers ever in Pak, if you take that out, his average probably languishes in the low 30's; pretty pathetic if you ask me. As for Indian trundlers remark, YK did face some of your so-called best bowlers in Srikanth, phast man Prasad, Zaheer khan, etc. still to average 88+ is pretty awesome especially considering Tendu averaged less than half of that against Pak :-)

This guy seriously thinks Younis khan is better than Sachin. Wow.

At least Sachin has one win in AUS.

YK has zero.

Myk made a double century against a raging attack of McGrath, Lee, Gillespie, Warne and McGill to win the historic Sydney test.
He tamed the likes of Ambrose, Donald and Walsh. Sachin can only dream of doing this.

His century against SA to draw the series was reminiscent of an industrial knife cutting through molten iron.

Read the post from Monsee. He thinks Younis khan is better than Sachin. Read his beautiful reasons above.
 
Thank you op for being honest. You changed my mind
 
Some people are getting annoyed that an Indian legend is being compared to a Pakistani batsmen yet fail to see the hypocrisy when Wasim has on numerous incidents been compared to Zaheer Khan.
 
Sachin was never good batsman as his stats suggest. He smoked all runs on roads. YK was miles better.
 
Apart from his obvious and total superiority as a batsman, YK could also make runs while singing "Inkeelaaab Jeendabaad".

If you listened to SRT, he could could only squeak. In envy.
 
Younis Khan picked Tendulkar in his world XI.

Did Tendulkar pick Younis? No. because he was jealous. Such a small hearted man :sanga

Who is better, Brock Lesnar or Spike Dudley?

What type of a dumb question is that?

Younis Khan of course. The very fact that he makes it into every World XI compiled by respectable ex cricketers and pundits of the game, and the fact that he makes it among top 5 of every all time great cricketers list is a testimony to that. Sachin can only dream of earning such accolades in a 100 lives.

Lol I have never seen so much anger in a post. Calm down man, it's just a fun thread,
 
Some people are making it look like Tendulkar was averaging in the 100s was while Younis in 20s. For God’s sake 52 and 53 isnt that much of a difference.

Its a pretty tough call to make in tests who is better but considering the 4th innings heriocs of Younis it might give hime bit of an edge.

However, style and stroke play of Tendulkar was excellent but I think he couldn’t achieve what his fans and world was expecting out of him. Yes he had longevity but his average, 100s conversion ratio and MOMs are not something which makes him above other test greats and its a statistical fact which even his fans can deny.

Absolutely agree once you ignore Tendulkar's longevity, his runs, his 100's, MoM's and MoS awards even his wickets and so on he was not even a decent cricketer. He was a rubbish player.

In one days he is one of the greatest and there is no doubt about it. If we consider him in both formats combined like as a package he was an ATG.

But tests as solo, nah not a chance of him being even in top 5, 10 of test cricket.

No he was a world class cricketer every team would love to have him. But over Bradman Sobers, Kallis, Sanaga, Haymmond etc no definitely not.

May be in Top 10 due to longevity but that’s arguable

The man who was most test centuries, most test runs, an average of 54 is not a top 5 player, PP's hate for Tendulkar is genuinely funny and little sad. Why so bitter?

Most folk Indian or otherwise would disagree with you. Tendulkar is universally acknowledged as the best player post Bradman you may not like it but that is how it is.
 
Tendulkar made his debut at a Tender age of 16 in 1989 against Pakistan. I hope people remember what they were doing at the age of 16.

If you take out his kiddie years and his useless extension after winning the world cup in 2011, Mr. Sachin Tendulkar averaged a staggering 58.26 from 01 Jan 1992 to 31 Dec 2010, for humongous 18-year period.

If those numbers dont qualify him for an ATG Test Batsman status then I dont know what will.

Bro thats just my opinion as stats dont back this narrative of him being the greatest after Bradman.

But, I guess its important to keep endorsing that he is the best after Bradman to keep the mega market of cricket happy.

Yes stats where we ignore his runs, centuries etc. Also Indians maybe biased about Tendulkar but aussies, English pundits even Bradman himself said the same thing or was Bradman trying to keep the mega market happy too?

They have every right to comment but just runs and centuries considering the guy has played 200 tests is not the benchmark, Avg, MOMs and 100s conversion are equally important stats. Again that is just my opinion.

What anger? I merely spoke the way it is. Didn't Younis Khan make it at #3 after Bradman and Sobers, in David Gower's list of '50 Greatest Cricketers'? Didn't Shane Warne rate him at #1 in his list of '100 Greatest Players'? Didn't he make it to Richie Benaud's, Don Bradman's, Cricinfo's, WISDEN's 'All Time World XI' teams? Didn't ESPN Legends of Crickete rate him as the 7th greatest cricketer of all time in 2001? Didn't WISDEN rate him as the 2nd greatest Test and ODI batsman ever? Didn't Bradman himself compare Younis Khan to himself?

Sachin would need another 100 lives to get such universal acclaim. Younis Khan >>> Daylight >>> Sachin.

Fact Younis Khan has scored 1321 runs against India.

Sachin has scored no runs against India.

Therefore, Younis >>>>>>>>>> Sachin.
