International Debutant
It’s closer than it might be on the face of it given Che Pu’s heroics in Australia and even England, but Mahela is of a different class
 

BazBall21

International Captain
Pujara for me. Both top players of spin; Mahela slightly better in that respect. But Pujara's mildly superior versatility swings it in his favour. Has played in a much tougher era.
 

Migara

International Coach
Mahela has many gears to his play. Better player of spin, worse player of seam and swing. probably better player of short, fast, intimidatory bowling too.
