Windies tour of India - 2018 | News & Updates

I second you. To me, SRT used to be the worst batsman in pressure situations. MS streched that burden for a long period. But when it comes to comparison, Virat tops him simply because he closes the tough games with more than handful balls to spare. MS likes it to stretch, which worked fine earlier days but not lately.

Virat kohli is absolutely best batsman played for india but we still have to see how he handle pressure in crucial games.
Ms dhoni did this many times well.cricket world cup 2011 is very big example.where as virat failed big in world cup 2015 semi final (cheap shot in bad situation)and also in champions trophy final held in 2017. If he lift world cup in 2019 with great knock under pressure then we can say he can handle pressure.

I want to extend my last statement to make you understand. He finishes the matches so easily and convincingly that the common feeling is those aren't pressure situations. In other hand MS makes the situation tougher by playing slow initially, then it's look like he won the game from pressure situations. Hope you understand now. If not, here's a stat from Cricinfo:20- Hundreds in successful chases for Kohli, in just 75 innings. He has six more than Tendulkar who has 14 such hundreds. Kohli averages 98.25 in successful chases, the best among all batsmen with 1000-plus runs in successful chases. This was also the eighth time Kohli had scored a century while chasing a 300-plus target. No other batsman has more than four such hundreds.
