Most Overrated Cricketers of India

Rohit and Kohli both are really talented. Both have the talent to carry forward SACHIN's legacy but the probably with Rohit is : He thinks he is better than SACHIN already and hence never feels a need to learn from his mistakes. He also doesn't respect the opposition (his remark on amir in Asia cup and champions trophy). On the other hand Kohli is a quick learner and respects the opposition. In conclusion he is nothing more than a flat track bully and just because he has the talent doesn't mean he is the greatest batsman as tagged by his followers

People are DUMB to believe that 3 double hundreds make him a legend. BUT CRICKET IS A GAME OF CONSISTENCY. you just don't become a legend by hitting double hundreds on flat pitches that too against TOOTHLESS BOWLING ATTACK. and what's more funny?. HE STATED M.AAMIR IS WAY TOO HYPED AND THE NEXT MATCH, HE WAS CLEANED UP. HE HAS CLEANLY FAILED WHEN INDIA NEEDED HIM. he just WON'T LEARN FROM MISTAKES, his off stump weakness. look at virat, he works on his weakness. HE IS LUCKY TO BE BORN IN INDIA, ESPECIALLY MUMBAI, WHERE HE WAS BACKED BY SACHIN AND ALL MUMBAI CRICKETERS.

HE IS THE CLASS AND SUPERB CRICKETER... THE FUTURE OF INDIAN CRICKET

No-hit sharma, when he plays India are actually playing 10 players instead of 11.

Virat 'the Choker' Kohli averages a pathetic 12 in ODI WC knockouts with SR of 56 opposed to his career average of 59 and SR of 93. This is why Ponting, Sir Viv Richards, Sanga, Gilchrist, Taylor etc are ATGs because of their ability to perform consistently in big matches. For instance Pontings 140, Gilchrist 149, Richards 138 all mammoth scores came at finals which were match winning. While choker Kohli's best score in ODI WC is a measly 35! Kohli is just a bilateral bully. Unless he steps up and win matches in big games, he can never be an ATG.

To be honest he's simple a mediocre domestic type player at best... just scoring plenty of runs and Centuries against substandard and pathetic bowling attack and that too on flat wickets doesn't make anyone a great batsmen as how he is chanted and hailed by his obsessive knucklehead fans who doesn't even possess a slight understanding of the game... if you just have a look at his records in both the format not including nonsensical T20s, most of his runs came against weak bowling attacks in the flat dead pitches of India, Subcontinent & Australia... can't forget the 2014 Australian Tour where he smacked 4 Centuries and all of them were on flat cement smooth pitches where there was no hope left for the bowlers to do anything except for running and pitching the ball... if you've observed the only match in that series i.e. 2nd Test in Brisbane where the pitch was challenging, fast, nipping and bouncing a hell lot and guess what he failed to even get the ball on the bat and bit the dust ...more

Virat Kohli is bad luck for team India. Under him we will never win an ICC trophy. He should be stripped off from captaincy and play just as a batsman like Steve Smith.

He is totally overrated... he can only play good in IPL, and against weak teams, talks a lot with mouth... can't talk with bat... people call him next sachin but have you ever seen sachin runs his mouth like that... MSD is most claim and more likely to next sachin and virat kholi shouldn't even be vice-captain since he doesn't even keep him self claim so how can you expect him to manage a team of 10

All he has on his side are records. Well if you have considerable talent and are lucky enough to have the selectors on your side for pretty much every match. I see quite a few sachins about. Its dissapointing his adamance in not retiring. How many future cricketers has he thrown off track? Now because of his retirement Ajinkya Rahane has come up in the test circuit whom I rate as about the only cricketer who can bat in overseas conditions along with Virat Kohli in India. Also the fact that amzing cricketers like Rahul Dravid and ganguly were overshadowed because of him

In India people are so driven by passion. I mean seriously "GOD OF CRICKET"? He would have been a normal, respected legend had he been born in another country, but here media & folks not only overrated him in his prime, they are still getting ecstatic beholding him now. He alone didn't win the matches & has a worst win record as captain. Let it go guys, another sachin may not be born again, but certainly a better someone is on the cards.

Tendulkar is not over rated. It is just people not agreeing to it are jealous of his success. He has been the sole reason for people watching cricket in India for nearly two decades. His performance and records speaks for itself and is the best way to keep anyone shut. People tend to get jealous seeing other's success.

Most of his centuries came from 2000-2012, he cannot handle fast bowlers like Wasim, Waqar, Ambrose, etc. Also he has played so many matches, so what if he got 100 centuries. Good but not great. Tendulkar fanboys, start getting angry

Well Dhoni has been made Overrated due to his blind fans who thinks no one is better than Dhoni & doesn't respect other players they don't talk about facts. The fact is he's amazing keeper but not the best finisher there are many instances where he choked in last over & remained not out. He doesn't have proper technique mostly dependent on hard hitting on dead pitches. No century on overseas pitches. The best captain has the worst record in overseas test remember 2012 England Tour. They do judge him on IPL record bro Ipl is different & international cricket is different. His fans will never talk about when he captained Pune in 2016. They will only say Csk best team Dhoni best captain.

Worst record as test captain. India was whitewashed everywhere in overseas. But I think we can't blame Dhoni too much because the team was in a transition stage. All the star players were at brink of retirement and mostly out of form. Also at that time we had the worst bowling attack. You need great bowling attack to win test matches abroad and our bowling attack was horrible. The present bowling attack is much better infact best we ever had mostly due to improvement of pace/fast bowling unit(although our batting really sucks when compared to 2000s batting line up). So I think Dhoni was unfortunate at that time because there weren't much options, he had to manage with what he had that time. Although one thing that I hated was Dhoni's defensive style of captaincy in overseas. Many times he never went for the kill and was settled for a draw. This mentality was also the reason we were losing many matches. You need to more aggressive, proactive and look for opportunities. That is why ...more

Sorry if I voted for Dhoni, but I had to reflect on the negative opinions over Dhoni. Dhoni is not overrated. Never. He is the only captain to win all ICC Championships. Better than Ricky Ponting. He has scored 10000 runs (33 runs away) in ODI, has more dismissals than Ricky Ponting, an average of Above 50. India would not have won the 2011 World Cup without Dhoni. He scored a 91 and a 6 to end the match. Yuvraj and Raina combined probably could not do that. And the reason why Dhoni does not score many centuries is because he is 4th, 5th, or 6th in the lineup. And Dhoni has the best eyes, Dhoni is known for the DRS review. His personality I can give pages of information on; captain calm.

Best test player in ODIs and T20s. Ironically he was horrible in test format. He is actually 12th man for opposition. Constantly play selfish slow knocks and unnecessarily puts pressure on other batsman by playing dot balls and not rotating strike which eventually make them get out. Then he will take it to the last over hit few sixes and choke. Then his blind fanboys say he tried his best and what other batsman do daww. He is the only player who is capable of losing a match from winning position. The more time time Dhoni spends time on the crease, the harder it is for India to win.

Yuvraj has had his good times, yes. But that in no way justifies his selection in 2016. God! It's been almost 5 years since his WC heroics. Will people ever let go? The WC performance is no longer a criterion. His fans justify his selection by invoking the sympathy of his cancer travails. Well, they just lend credence to my point. He's gone through a hell lot to be the same player, and it's good enough for him that he can still play. But he by no means is he nternational class. And if he is, he better prove that on the domestic circuit and not act like a priviliged arse who gets a free pass every time the side's one man short. He doesn't deserve to be within a mile of the current side. The selectors, as usual bringing in the good ol' corruption and favouritism, and his unrelenting and insufferable fanbase is doing the rest.

You are right. But sachin also should be here. Yuvral plays a nice innings once in every 2 years. I am an Indian. But I think he's just hype created by media. He's got no class. Just an angry young man who thinks he is the best. Steven Smith is a lot better than him.

100% True...
But, Young 'Virat Kohli' Should Not Be on The List. Who Avgs Over 50 Runs in ODI Matches. He Have Lot To Prove.

Why the hell virat? He is great in every aspect of the game. he is the future and by the way yuvraj has no consistency.

Mostly the hype is given by the people of west bengal, because they don't have other glories to cherish about. There is nothing good about the his batting skills after 2000 he played good in some matches till 2000 after that he was only going through the fame he created years back. He is the most overrated cricketer we will ever see in our life again

Ganguly was clearly the most selfish - one instance comes to mind: against new zealand, ganguly was batting in the 90s and india were chasing a target which was under ten runs away while dravid was at the other end, with plenty of balls remaining. Dravid tried to play a shot on the next ball and ganguly HOLLERED at him as if dravid was a ten year kid! How dare he try and stop him from getting to a 100 :D :D
He made dravid play out the over and got stumped first ball in the next over trying to hit a six and get to his personal glory

Scored most match winning hundreds in odis against poor sides. Zimbabwes Bangladesh Kenya west indies etc. Was always done by pace bowling at top of innings. However he was very determined and a fighter. As talent and fulfilling a talent or being a dominant batsmen as he is so often made out to be is conpletley false

He should be number one. Why is he at number 11. There is no more overrated batsman or captain than this guy. How many lines have I got to write before I can post this?

East or West
Raina is the Best

Even my favorite player too!

Suresh raina is the best...

My favourite player

Overrated mindless slogger. Should have been kicked out of country for his stupid attitude. Pakistanis should learn from great cricketers like You is Khan and Saeed Anwar and not follow this idiot!

What is wrong with you Indians? You hate Pakistanis to death but claim top Pakistani figures as Indian. Bizarre.

Lol. Shahid Afridi is from Pakistan, not India.

I just agree Afridi is overrated

God Knows why everyone like him.. even though he's not India's best batsman after Sachin...

Idiotic player.
