Another 100 in a chase for Kohli. Averaging 140+ this year and this is his first odi at home

We arguably witnessed the two greatest ODI batsmen of all time in this era - Kohli and de Villiers. de Villiers plays sll the funky shots, yet Kohli often scores blazing hundreds just playing normal shots. Simply incredible. Kohli is not yet 30 and is 'only' 13 hundreds behind Tendulkar - a record I thought I would stand forever

Would argue AB’s record in big games/pressure chases is extremely poor. Can’t remember any match winning knocks in a knockout games (correct me if I’m wrong)
Love watching him bat but definitely not in the top 5 greatest odi players

Name 5 better then please, don't think it's fair to judge him on match winning knocks. More on actual ability and skill, then for me he is in the top 3

India's top 3 quite clearly the bench mark in ODIs, they've 70 centuries between themselves. But if any opposition can get 2 of them out early you'd fancy your chances. Rayudu, Rahul, Jadhav and Dhoni aren't nearly as imposing. Maybe Pant will be the chap to add the firepower down the order.

I would add Root, Amla and Hussey to the mix, think people forget how successful those 3 have been in ODIs

Dhoni, Clarke and sanga. Trott has a very good record too.

S.Smith’s record is relatively poor compared to the names mentioned

Kohli is going to inevitably over tendukar and become India s greatest batsman which is unreal

Very good list but also got to remember that ODI have been played for a while you have to add the following into the list ...

Tendulkar
Ponting
Richards
Bevan
Sangakarra

I agree - I remember the first 15 overs the white ball use to swing a mile. The likes of shane bond and Brett lee being unplayable. 1 over max these days
