[PlayerComparisons]

Kohli was a level above Younis against pace while Younis was a level above Kohli against spin

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

Kohli was a level above Younis against pace while Younis was a level above Kohli against spin

And Younis Khan was also a level above Kohli in 4th innings , statistically the hardest time to bat ..

Kohli in 4th innings : 1050 runs @45.65

Younis Khan in 4th innings : 1465 runs @50.52

this is a useless statistic

inzamam has a better 4th innings avg vs sachin in 4th innings

 

[govinda indian fan]

Kohli in SENA countries :
41 Tests - 3471 runs @43.93
Younis in SENA countries:
30 Tests - 2329 runs @43.94

Not saying younis was bad but kohli played in era where it has beome tougher to bat (2017 to now) while younis played in an era batting was at its easiest (00s and 10s) so belive kohli is bit better

Yes younis was one of my favs while growing up still would say kohli>younis but not by much

No it isn't, you are comparing two ordinary 4th innings players ..And the truth is many players have modest 4th innings records so it isn't really talked about..

Younis Khan is one of the few batsmen with a serious 4th innings record , he has the same amount of 4th innings hundreds as Lara and Tendulkar combined.

Kohli had an amazing series in Aus, a ATG one in England and is maybe the best ever in SA. Younis on the other hand made that average on the back of Flat track Hundreds, not out in the case of Aus.

How many test matches did he win

 

[Coronis]

And the truth is many players have modest 4th innings records so it isn't really talked about..

That’s because its a poor measure of the quality of a batsman.

 

[Migara]

Rate the following batsmen purely based on how well they played spin:
Jayawardene
Lara
Root
Sangakkara
Sehwag
Sidhu
Smith
Tendulkar

Shewag
Sidhu
MJ
Lara
Tendulkar
Root
Sangakkara
Smith

If Jayawardene was PJ, he was bloody good against spin too.

 

[Migara]

I have lold hard at people who put Sidhu at end of the list. He is the man who took Warne and Murali to cleaners, before any one could think about it.

I don’t think anyone was that worried about 90’s Murali, especially away.

And he hardly took Warne to the cleaners.

Kohli in 4th innings : 1050 runs @45.65

Younis Khan in 4th innings : 1465 runs @50.52

Huge difference between scoring on
4th innings roads vs 4th innings minefields.

You are using absolute raw figures which take nothing into account and thus hold little significance.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Sidhu over Lara and Tendulkar is pure brainrot lol

 

[Migara]

I don’t think anyone was that worried about 90’s Murali, especially away.

Oh he did. Warne was shell shocked by this attack. Then Tendulkar and Azhar capitalized on it.

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

Kohli is definitely above Younis for me too, I have Younis pretty low though.

Kohli has had too big a decline to be better than Younis Khan

Not really, had a very bad 20 Test stretch but scored good in the last 10.

He averages 33 in his last 30 test matches .Australia will be the final nail in the coffin
