The better batter?

Rohit averages 16 in SA, 40 in England, 40 in NZ, 24 in Aus and 33 in SL.

Babar averages 38 in SA, 65 in England, 47 in NZ, 25 in Aus and 50 in SL.

2019-2023 Rohit over any Babar honestly

Babar has lots of pretty lil fifties away but does he have a real match winning away knock like Rohit's 127 at the Oval heh. Plus, Rohit should get credit for his work at home too, 120 in Nagpur and 131 earlier this year come to mind.

I think Babar’s best series in Aus and SL are probably at that level.

Babar's best series in Aus is just him making impactless runs tho, his 119 in Lanka is top quality tho, still, Rohit better.

Hard to be impactful when your bowlers can only bowl out a side once in the entire series. For almost 600. 13 wickets @ 88.69 for the series lol.

Yes. Right up there with Windies 15/16 imo.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

The Adam Voges series?

 

[Coronis]

The Adam Voges series?

Yeah. Just be thankful the 3rd test was full of rain otherwise we’d have Voges with a 500 run series and Tendulkar without.

Mooo.

Rohit is an out and out home bully. He has one century away from home. Utterly mediocre batsman.

And??? What has Babar done away from home?

Much better than Rohit at least. His 100 in Aus and 100 in SL are better than anything Rohit has done in whites. In white ball cricket I will give you that it is close but this is not a comparison in tests. Rohit barely averages 40 overall.

 

[slcricfan1]

babar`s ton in sl was incredible. The way he batted with naseem was terrifc

Babar’s away record looks pretty good apart from Australia. He needs more hundreds though.
