Sachin, Kohli, Dhoni, Abbas.. Etc are better..Miandad underrated in ODIs.
Record in Australia and South Africa and in games against them is a mark against him.Why no Inzamam?

Jadeja has done enough to be ahead of Miandad for me..... Miandad himself was a htb; and Jadeja actually has been way too important with the bat for the last 5 years as well.Shakib above Kumble and Jadeja above Miandad are certainly strong takes

In Tests only?? Kapil and Jadeja are the most debatable, but both are all-rounders, so meh. Miandad I consider a better batsman, and Ashwin is definitely ahead only counting Tests.Kapil, Ashwin, Jadeja, Miandad not above Kohli
Kohli atleast during his peak was a more complete player across conditions, being amazing in Aus and SA, brilliant at home(despite not having majorly challenges, averaging close to 60 at home is great), decent in SL and WI, and had one major ATG series in EnglandIn Tests only?? Kapil and Jadeja are the most debatable, but both are all-rounders, so meh. Miandad I consider a better batsman, and Ashwin is definitely ahead only counting Tests.
Kapil, Miandad and Ashwin are ahead of Kohli for me as well, but I agree for JadejaKapil, Ashwin, Jadeja, Miandad not above Kohli
Peak Kohli isn't the problem. The problem is the trough Kohli post COVID who averaged mid 20s over 3 years...... Miandad had his issues, but the rascal was consistent as ****. Hope Kohli clearly surpasses him before retirement.Kohli atleast during his peak was a more complete player across conditions, being amazing in Aus and SA, brilliant at home(despite not having majorly challenges, averaging close to 60 at home is great), decent in SL and WI, and had one major ATG series in England
Miandad’s home record is too dodgy for me to rate him above Kohli but fair enoughPeak Kohli isn't the problem. The problem is the trough Kohli post COVID who averaged mid 20s over 3 years...... Miandad had his issues, but the rascal was consistent as ****. Hope Kohli clearly surpasses him before retirement.
Very flat pitches in the 1989 series and Hadlee didn't have much support from the other end. Still the 81 and 160* in Christchurch 1979 is one of his best performances.I find Miandad very overrated apart from his record against Hadlee in NZ
