I can understand those going for Virat given he was better against pace.
Inzi was dominant in India, SL, NZ, WI and Eng (excluding debut series). Yes he sucked in Aus and SA tho he had his moments.
Virat was awesome in SA and to an extent Aus but that's about it frankly and averages an extremely disappointing 41 away overall. He has had a poor stretch of form for over 1/4th of his career now.
Inzi was simply a better away player, much better against spin and more consistent.
I think if Kohli goes to England and his averages drops to 45 and away average less than 40, this should be more clear.
We need to stop making excuses frankly for Kohli.

The only country he truly is poor in is only England, and even there he has an ATG series. Kohli has fallen a number of places for me as well, but below Inzi is a real stretch.

Yeah he isnt poor in SL, WI or NZ but not particularly outstanding either.
For me, it's really only SA where his away record shines outright.
I think Kohli should have been more dominant as an away performer.

I forgot we can ignore stuff when convenient for some players and then not others, depending on your argument. You and kyear are far more similar than either of you will ever admit.

Virat in Australia> Younis in Australia
Virat in England < Younis in England (tho 2018 series clears)
Virat in New Zealand < Younis in New Zealand
Virat in South Africa >> Younis in South Africa
Virat in Sri Lanka < Younis in Sri Lanka
Virat in West Indies > Younis in West Indies
Virat never got to play in Pakistan or UAE so can't make that comparision.

I still wonder how he came up with the narine action.

Kohli turned his back on Jaiswal last week. Selfish prick.

Younis also did exceptionally well in IND which deserves credit though. I have Younis slightly ahead of Kohli now. Inzi is quite a stretch for sure though

Virat would probably average 70 if he played in Pakistan these days tho
