Jos is any day a better T20 batsman than VK. VK has got more records, but the impact Jos has is unparalleled
HAHAHAHAHAHA 🤣🤣🤣
I'm sorry but
HAHAHAHAHA 🤣🤣🤣
I'm curious, what exactly is considered "impact"? How about being the highest run-scorer of 2 T20 World Cups? How about being the player of the tournament in consecutive T20 World Cups? Virat did that. You know what else he did? India played 6 knockout matches between 2014 and 2024. Virat has made a half century or more than that in 5 out of those 6 matches. That's just shy of 400 runs in 6 matches. It makes his average in T20 WC knockout matches over 90. If that's not impactful, I don't know what is.
Is impact related to strike rate? Virat scored 70 off 29 against West Indies, 94 in some 50 odd balls against WI, and his century against Afghanistan came in 52 balls. The first knock has a strike rate of over 200. Virat chased down 48 off the last 3 overs against Pakistan at the MCG in 2022 and 39 off the last 3 overs against Australia at Mohali in 2016. The latter was a virtual quarter final, and Virat's knock guaranteed India's progress to the semi finals.
Is impact related to hitting sixes? Well, for all that Jos is a renowned six-hitter, it was Virat's six against Haris Rauf at the MCG was declared the shot of the century by ICC. An equation that read 28 off 8 became 16 off 6. It was Virat who hit the two sixes that were required to get it down till here.
Virat has time and again won matches out of nowhere for India. The Mohali 82 against Australia, the MCG 82 against Pakistan, the 72 in 2014 SFs vs South Africa, I can go on and on here-- Heck, Virat was most of the, if not the sole reason that India got as far as they did in the 2014, 2016 and 2022 editions of the T20 World Cup. He is a massively impactful player, who delivers whenever needed. Even yesterday's final, take Virat's 76 out of the equation and we had only a 100 on the board to defend. I doubt even Jasprit could have done much with that.
Virat ended his career in T20s as unquestionably the best T20 player of this generation. Nobody comes close to having the kind of impact he does on the game. He carried India in almost every single T20 World Cup he played, and nobody deserved to lift that trophy as much as he did.
I did not intend this as an insult to Jos. He is a great player, one of the very best to have played the game, but he's not better than Virat. Nope, sorry, he isn't. And it isn't limited to Jos either. There isn't any player in the world, not Rohit, not Warner, not Babar, not Maxwell, no nobody in this generation comes close to having the kind of class, poise and impact of Kohli in T20s.
People are allowed differing opinions - sure, the stats say Virat but in terms of coming in when the team needs and changing the game momentum Jos is one of the best at having an impact
Numbers aren’t always everything, I think is the point the original ask was making. And honestly, looking at the tournament that just concluded, VK really only made an impact in the final, whilst Jos was a lynchpin to a lot of England’s batting innings.
Not saying you’re wrong and - as I said - everyone has opinions and it’s great they’re different because it allows us to discuss thing :) But I think the original ask was talking more about match impact than stats. There is a reason he was RR’s impact batsman for the IPL this year.

[ad_1] Rohit Sharma, Gautam Gambhir, and Jasprit Bumrah for team India (PC: BCCI/X) The overload of left-arm spinners at the Indian team nets at the Wankhede Stadium two days before the start of the third Test against New Zealand was a compliment to Mitchell Santner. As Indian batsmen did their sessions, sweeps – conventional and reverse – were in vogue, from Virat Kohli to Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sarfaraz Khan and Washington Sundar. An overseas spinner, who didn’t have a four-for in Tests before this series, out-bowling his more fancied Indian counterparts in Pune was a rarity. Externally, the Indian team management has kept a stiff upper lip even after the series defeat, but deep down, panic seems to have set in. This is an unfamiliar territory for India. For 12 years and 18 series, they were invincible at home. Now, they will be playing the Mumbai Test to avoid a home series whitewash. The last time it happened, against South Africa in 1999-2000, it proved to be seismic. Sachin Tendulkar would soon relinquish captaincy, with Sourav Ganguly taking over. The turn of the century was a period of transition, and upheaval, in Indian cricket. Circa 2024, and the Indian team stands on the cusp of another transition. The hard numbers from the ongoing series have been quite startling. After two Tests, Rachin Ravindra is the highest run-getter, with 247 runs at an average of 82.33. Devon Conway has scored 201 runs at an average of 50.25. As far as India are concerned, Sarfaraz has made 170 runs at an average of 42.50, and that is chiefly down to his 150 in the second innings in the Bangalore Test. Only two other Indians have reached three-figures, over four innings – Jaiswal and Rishabh Pant. Kohli has 88 runs from four innings, while Rohit Sharma has made 62. Moving to spin bowling, Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja have 12 wickets between them from two Tests. The former’s average is 43.50, while Jadeja has taken his wickets at 37.50 apiece. Santner has 13 scalps from two innings at 12.07. For the Latest Sports News: Click Here Team India players in practice in Mumbai (PC: BCCI/X) On the face of it, the third Test is a dead rubber. But playing for World Test Championship (WTC) points makes it hugely important for the hosts. India will play another six Tests before the WTC final next year and they need to win four of them to be certain of their ticket to Lord’s. Not impossible, but at the moment, it looks a tad improbable. The marquee five-Test series Down Under will come on the heels of the ongoing assignment. With an eye on that, India need a turnaround in Mumbai. Another defeat, and negative vibes and sinking morale might accompany the Indian team to Australia.  For Abhishek Nayar, however, every cloud has a silver lining. India’s assistant coach rewound to India’s loss in the 50-over World Cup final last year and then the turnaround at the T20 World Cup. “I think when India lost the World Cup in India, that was a low point in Indian cricket for everyone; for the fans, for the players,” Nayar told reporters. “In the same breath, a few months later, they were T20I world champions.” The assistant coach missed an important point. India played brilliant cricket at the ODI World Cup en route to the final. The title showdown was one bad game. India have been playing poor cricket in the ongoing series against New Zealand. Hardwork on for team India men in Mumbai (PC: BCCI/X) They will have to regroup, and the inspiration should come from the galacticos, Rohit and Kohli. They are out of form and low on confidence. Kohli’s technical tweak – standing on the leg stump line and playing away from his body against the spinners, with DRS at the back of his mind – hasn’t worked well either. Maybe, the veteran duo needs to look back to India’s Test series in Australia in 2003-04 to move forward. India went to that series on the back of a humiliating defeat to the Aussies in the TVS Cup (an ODI tournament) final, with Ricky Ponting predicting a clean sweep Down Under.
In the first Test at the Gabba, with the tourists reeling at 62/3, Ganguly walked out to bat and scored a scintillating 144 off 196 balls. That was the turning point. India went toe-to-toe with Steve Waugh’s all-conquering Australia and the series ended 1-1. The skipper led from the front back then. The current captain and his predecessor should show the way now.

A Look Back: The Evolution of Women's Cricket in India
Are looking for the rise of Women cricketer for India
Women's cricket in India has seen a remarkable transformation over the years, evolving from its humble beginnings to becoming a celebrated sport with a dedicated following. This journey is marked by the perseverance, talent, and determination of numerous women cricketers who have broken barriers and set new standards. Let's take a detailed look at the evolution of women's cricket in India, highlighting key milestones, influential players, and significant achievements.
Early Days and Beginnings
The roots of women's cricket in India can be traced back to the 1970s, a time when the sport was predominantly male-dominated. The first recorded women's cricket match in India was held in 1973, which laid the foundation for the formation of the Women's Cricket Association of India (WCAI) in 1973. This organization played a crucial role in promoting and organizing women's cricket in its early days.
In 1976, the Indian women's cricket team played its first Test match against the West Indies in Bangalore, marking their entry into the international arena. Despite limited resources and recognition, these pioneering women cricketers showcased their talent and passion, setting the stage for future generations.
Key Milestones and Achievements
1. First World Cup Participation (1978): India participated in its first Women's Cricket World Cup in 1978, held in New Zealand. Although the team did not perform exceptionally well, this participation was a significant step towards gaining international exposure.
2. First Test Series Victory (2006): India registered its first Test series victory against England in 2006, under the captaincy of Mithali Raj. This victory was a testament to the growing strength and skill of the Indian women's cricket team.
3. ICC Women's World Cup Finalists (2005 and 2017): India reached the finals of the ICC Women's World Cup twice, in 2005 and 2017. The 2017 World Cup, held in England, was particularly memorable as India came close to winning the title, losing narrowly to England. The performance of the team in this tournament garnered immense support and brought women's cricket into the limelight in India.
4. T20 World Cup Finalists (2020): In 2020, India reached the finals of the ICC Women's T20 World Cup in Australia. Despite losing to Australia in the final, the tournament was a landmark event, drawing record viewership and further boosting the popularity of women's cricket in India.
Influential Players
Tumblr media
Mithali Raj: One cannot discuss the evolution of women's cricket in India without mentioning Mithali Raj. With over 20 years of international cricket, Mithali has been a pillar of strength and inspiration. She holds the record for the highest run-scorer in women's international cricket and has been instrumental in many of India's successes.
Jhulan Goswami: Jhulan Goswami, one of the fastest bowlers in women's cricket, has been a key player for India. She holds the record for the most wickets in Women's One Day Internationals (ODIs). Her dedication and performance have inspired many young girls to take up fast bowling.
Harmanpreet Kaur: Harmanpreet's explosive batting and leadership qualities have made her a vital part of the Indian team. Her innings of 171* against Australia in the 2017 World Cup semi-final is considered one of the greatest knocks in women's cricket history.
Growth and Development
The last decade has seen significant growth and development in women's cricket in India. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) took over the administration of women's cricket in 2006, leading to better infrastructure, increased funding, and more professional opportunities for women cricketers.
1. Domestic Leagues: The introduction of domestic leagues like the Women's T20 Challenge has provided a platform for young talent to showcase their skills. These leagues have also attracted international players, raising the standard of the game.
2. Media Coverage and Sponsorship: Enhanced media coverage and sponsorship have played a crucial role in popularizing women's cricket. Matches are now regularly broadcasted, and players receive endorsements and sponsorships, which were rare in the past.
3. Grassroots Development: Grassroots programs and academies have been established to nurture young talent. Initiatives like the Khelo India program aim to identify and support promising cricketers from a young age.
The Road Ahead
The future of women's cricket in India looks promising, with increasing support from fans, media, and the cricketing fraternity. The success of players like Shafali Verma, Smriti Mandhana, and Jemimah Rodrigues indicates a bright future for the sport. Continued investment in infrastructure, training facilities, and grassroots development will be crucial in maintaining and enhancing India's status in international women's cricket.
Conclusion
Tumblr media
The evolution of women's cricket in India is a story of resilience, passion, and progress. From its modest beginnings to its current status as a celebrated sport, women's cricket in India has come a long way. As we look forward to more milestones and achievements, the journey of these remarkable women continues to inspire and pave the way for future generations.
By understanding and appreciating this journey, we not only celebrate the achievements of past and present cricketers but also encourage a new generation of women to take up the sport and aspire for greatness.

If Yashasvi Jaiswal is added, it could change how the batters play, which could mean that Kohli moves to the No. 3 spot. The pitches in the Caribbean might be better for spinners, which means that Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal could play essential parts.

[ad_1] Harmanpreet Kaur for team India (PC: X) After a strong start to the series, India’s women’s cricket team suffered a heavy 76-run loss in the second ODI against New Zealand, while chasing a target of 260. With the series now tied, fans eagerly await today’s decider at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium. However, the persistent struggle in run chases has become a critical concern for this Indian team in the 50-over format. In the past two years, India has won just one out of their last six ODIs while chasing, with four losses and a tie. Their last successful chase was against South Africa in June 2024 in Bengaluru, where they reached a target of 216 with ease. They have stumbled in chases against teams like Bangladesh, Australia (two matches) and New Zealand. Even on home turf, India’s record in run chases has been troubling, with two wins and three losses in their last five attempts. With the upcoming 50-over World Cup set to be hosted in India, these stats are a cause for concern for the team management. One significant issue has been shot selection and consistency. For instance, Smriti Mandhana’s recent form has been disappointing. Following a poor T20 World Cup, her struggles have continued in this series. She has been dismissed in the same area in both ODIs, indicating a lack of foot movement and timing. Similarly, Shafali Verma has been unable to convert starts into substantial scores, getting out after just 11 runs in the last game, where she hit two boundaries but lost her wicket in the Powerplay. Harmanpreet Kaur’s return in the second ODI brought some hope, as she looked steady with 24 runs. But her dismissal — an attempted boundary off a short ball by Sophie Devine — ended in a mistimed shot caught by Eden Carson. For the Latest Sports News: Click Here India women’s record in ODIs (PC: ESPNCricinfo) As India heads into the decider, they must address these concerns quickly. Improving shot selection and stabilising the batting order during chases will be crucial if they hope to turn things around. Beyond shot selection, India has struggled to build big partnerships, particularly in the top order, leaving them unable to set a solid foundation for chasing targets. In several critical chases, this issue has been prominent. Against Bangladesh in 2023, India needed just 153 to win but crumbled for 113, losing five batters for 61 runs in 17 overs. Against Australia in Mumbai later that year, they had a promising start in their chase of 259 but, after losing their third wicket at 159 in the 33rd over, a collapse followed as they lost five more wickets for just 96 runs in the remaining overs, eventually falling short by three runs. A similar scenario unfolded in early 2024 at the same stadium when India faced a daunting target of 339 against Australia. They could only manage 148 in 32.4 overs, with their highest partnership being a meagre 32-run opening stand. The recent game against New Zealand followed the same pattern, with India losing eight wickets for 108 runs in just 27 overs. These collapses have raised concerns among fans and similar issues arose during the recent T20 World Cup in the UAE. While India managed to chase down 106 against Pakistan, it took them 18.5 overs, leaving fans questioning their approach and intent. In that mega event, they failed to chase down against the White Ferns and Southern Stars. Today’s series decider offers an opportunity for India to reset their approach and show more resilience if asked to chase a target. Fans hope to see stronger partnerships, smarter shot selection and an improved intent from the players. With the 50-over World Cup on home soil in focus, the pressure is on India to fix these recurring issues before time runs out.

VK has got more records, but the impact Jos has is unparalleled
This is one sentence in the original ask that really confused me. How do you exactly measure the amount of impact someone has on the game? I don't mean this to be snippy or sarcastic, so apologies if it came off that way. It is a genuine question.
I agree that there is a difference between having records and having impact, because a really impactful innings might not make it to the record books, but the records as a whole do tell us about how skilful and how prolific a player is. It wouldn't exactly be fair to say that the record-holders have had no sort of impact on the game. To give an example, VK's highest score in a T20 match is his 122* against Afghanistan, in the 2022 Asia Cup. But that is hardly his most impactful innings. That laurel would hands down go to his 82* off 53 against Pakistan-- an innings that won't make it among the highest individual T20 scores of all time or any other list like that, but that doesn't mean that it had no impact.
I think VK's impact is something that is magnified only when you compare them with the stats of other players. Take the T20 WC semi final from 2014 as an example. India had to chase 176 against South Africa. VK scored 72 of those runs. The next best score in this match is Rahane's 32. A difference of 40 runs. The 2014 T20 World Cup final. India batted first and made 130/4. VK contributed 77 of those runs. The rest of the team made 47 between them.
Also, the potm and pots awards exist for a reason. They are awarded to a player who made the most outstanding, the most impactful contribution to the team's victory. Sometimes, even a player from the losing team is awarded those prizes because their contributions were so incredibe, so impactful that were those contributions to be taken out of the equation, the team wouldn't even have reached to the stage it did. VK has got the most potm and pott awards in T20s for a reason. It's not because he's scored the most runs, it's because his runs have had the most impact. If the pott awards were given based on who scored the most runs/who took the most wickets, then the Pott award of the 2016 World Cup would have been given to Tamim Iqbal, not VK. The Pott of the 2022 WC would have been VK, not Sam Curran.
I'm not even gonna bring Jos into this. To me, VK is miles ahead of any batsman in T20s.
Also, I'm gonna say it: I'm really annoyed that this discourse is happening when VK just retired. We can argue about who's done more, but VK certainly has done ENOUGH. He ensured India got to the finals and semi-finals of the 2014, 2016, 2022 WCs. We would have crashed out at the group stages if not for him. He scored a vital 76 in this final, his Mohali and MCG innings are superlative and likely not going to be surpassed for a long time. He went out in a blaze of glory, helping India win the World Cup in the last T20 innings he played for his country. The first anon who triggered this debate by saying that Jos had more impact than VK was bang out of line with respect to timing. VK has done so much for his country, he's been prolific and consistent and impactful, and he's given so much to the game of cricket. I wouldn't have contributed to this discourse at all if the comparison was drawn 4 years ago, but it's rancid to try and discredit VK's achievements a day after he announced his retirement. Say "well played mate, congratulations on a great career, appreciate what you've done for your team and the game, you're a great player, but you were a pain in the arse to get out, and the opposition won't miss you on the field!" And once that's done? Move on. People can hate him all they want because he played well against their teams but don't try to deny or devalue the fact that he WAS a great player and one of the, if not the unquestioned best of his times.
(Saying that VK had no impact on T20s reeks of omega erasure tbh. Y'all won't be saying that if he was an alpha. Jos owes his career to VK, being an omega, he wouldn't even have been considered for the england team if VK hadn't debuted before him and gotten the success he did. Jos would still be languishing in Somerset if VK hadn't had the guts to make his debut as an open and out omega, and hadn't had had the skill to bash bowlers around the park and prove that omegas can be good batters too. 😒🤭🤣)
I don’t think anyone is saying VK has had no impact - that would just be silly. He’s clearly rated as one of if not the best white ball batsmen to have ever played the game and his stats do speak for himself.
Please do correct me if I’m wrong, but I’ve never heard VK be called a 360 player. 360 players can always find a place to score irrelevant of the field set which instantly makes them have more potential impact in any innings because they’re so hard to defend from. Jos is a 360 player and his potential impact is high. He’s seen as a very destructive player who, when in form, can be the swing of a game whether he’s scoring 30 or 100 (whether that be from momentum or actual runs scored).
The best ask answer to this was the one that’s just been answered: Jos is destructive and there to get momentum on his side, VK is the anchor you want in all the way to the end. Joe is a very similar player to VK in my opinion.
People are also allowed to think who they want is the better player. Yes, VK’s stats say more than enough and anyone calling him bad is just being silly, but if they think Jos is more impactful then fair enough - you your own addition what is the gauge of impact anyway? It differs depending on match circumstance. We’re all allowed our opinions.
Side note, but POTM is only awarded to the winning team - POTT can be awarded to a losing team player (and usually is given to a player from the losing side of a final)
