Yes, it’s evolution

ABD just. Both > Kohli now though

 

[Majestic]

ABD is better in terms of skills and versatility. Khan better in terms of getting big knocks once set.

Great player of off spin. His low stance helped him sweep so efficiently.

oh yeah Younis is definitely up there, not sure if he's the GOAT of spin though.

I'd rate Jayawardene slightly ahead. The king of Galle. Lara potentially the best ever. Laxman was very good v spin.

I think when it comes to ranking efficiency v specific bowling types, I would need to see more footage of some of the older players before feeling comfortable listing them. Of course there is some data, contemporary reports and footage here and there. But comparisons on specific skill sets like this including players before my time are tough.
