Sangakkara - Test ATG, ODI Great

Kohli- Test Great, LOIs GOAT( or close)

Kapil - ODI ATG (a World Cup winning captain), Test ATG( all rounder)

Waqar - Test ATG, ODI Great( Economy high)

Dravid - Test ATG, ODI Good( Strike rate low)

Miandad - Test ATG, ODI Good(Strike rate low)

I think it should be Kapil Dev because he completely changed the dynamics of cricket in subcontinent with that World Cup win.

Sangakkara at 7 and Kohli at 8.

Waqar at 9, Miandad 10 and Dravid 11.

Kapil Dev - ATG in tests, GOAT in ODIs
Miandad - ATG in both formats ( Borderline in ODIs )
Waqar - ATG in Both formats
Sanga - ATG in both formats ( As batsman in tests, As WK Batsman in ODIs)
Kohli - ATG in Both Formats ( Borderline in tests )
Dravid - ATG in tests, above avg in ODIs

Test
KAPIL > Rest

ODIs
KAPIL > Rest ( possible exception, Kohli )

KAPIL - top tier in both formats, only competition is Kohli in ODIs.

Bumrah + longevity can challenge Kapil in future.. Until then its Kapil easily.

I'm not sure Kapil would add much to a team that had great bowlers and Imran as a genuine GOAT contender AR. Kapil was a decent bat, and a decent bowler - but he was not outstanding in either discipline. Combined - yes, you get a fine cricketer.

Sanga and Waqar add more value in terms of winning that Dev does. One as a great bat and the other a legit ATG bowler.

Kapil Dev is bowling equivalent of Abdv or Martin Crowe,

And he was genuine matchwinner with his secondary skill.


Far better than Miandad, Waqar, Sanga and Dravid.

Miandad and Dravid arguably better batsmen than Sanga, yet their combined vote tally is zero, while Sanga leading with 14 votes.. 🙄 weird.

Is this because, He was a Dhoni level WK Batsman when he was not a Specialist batsman? If then why Dhoni is not included in the poll 🤔

For people voting Jadeja, I say it again,

"He has to win a WTC Final outside Asia". He got two chances, missed out on both. He will probably get another chance and he has to make it count.
