who is better?? sachin or lara or ponting or kapil dev?

Answer 1

This is a very tricky Question when you ask about kapil dev then answer should be taken with there career records .Currently Pointing is in good form but if we consider there career records i feel Sachin Tendulkar How many matches he has won single handedly to indian team and the match in sharjah againg australia in 1998- 99 innings he played after the sand storm no-one can play like that and no-one can forget if they watch that match,centuries he has scored amazing till now, he has became a legend,so obvously my choice is Sachin is the best among those.

Answer 2

Ricky Ponting. Why? I'll tell you why.
1.) He can handle tough situations very maturely.
2.) You never see him worn or stressed out.
3.) He knows what he does, in a way that no other batsman or captain does.
4.) He is a match-winning player compared to Sachin, Lara or Kapil. These 3 guys can or performed well individually. But their performances helped their teams win not as many times as Ponting.
PS: By the way, it's a matter of personal like or dislike.

Answer 3

It is right that Ponting is scoring very fast,it is right that Lara has scored 400 rums in a single test ining,this is because of their form, and everybody knows that the best form can't be carried throughout the career,BUT WAIT,Sachin has average about 45 in both the versons of the game.You can imagine how this man has maintained this average for more than 16 years!!!Playing against the bowlers like Mcgrah,shoeb,wasim,warne and many other great bowlErs!!!!!So forget the word 'better' because SACHIN IS THE BEST.........

Answer 4

Brian Lara

Answer 5

i think you cannot discount the fact that Brian Lara is still the double world record holder in test (400 especially having the initial record broken by Hayden and breaking it again) and first class cricket (501). None of the other three can claim that. Someone before spoke about records but strangely omitted this fact.

Lara is the best.

Answer 6

offcourse lara but if see run then tendulkar otherwise ponting is best because he always score 40 in every match kapil is also good

Answer 7

When u talk about records .. Sachin is best.. when u talk about Form .. Ponting is No.1

Answer 8

Sachin is by far the best .

SACHIN TENDULKAR - the name itself strikes terror in the hearts of bowlers all around the world. Hailed as the next master-blaster following the legacy of the great West Indian Vivian Richards, this man has all the shots in the book, and a few more. There is nothing this man cannot do - he opens the batting for India in the one-dayers, comes at no. 4 in test matches, bowls rightarm offbreaks, legbreaks and even googlies (the wrong-un). He also swings the ball both ways when he bowls his medium pacers. It seems he had tried his hands at wicket-keeping too (in his school days), but gave it up in pursuit of what he does best - Batting.
A child prodigy, he made his international debut in ODIs and Tests at the age of 16 ( yes 16 ) against Pakistan and the fiery pace of Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis . He then went to England as a part of the national side, and has not looked back ever since. In batting, he has reached a stage that others can only dream of. He has destroyed practically every bowling opposition in the world - from Shane Warne (Aus.) to Saqlain Mushtaq (Pak.) , and Waqar Younis (Pak.) to Allan Donald (RSA) , and in style . Tendulkar 'specialites' include the straight drive (seemingly nobody plays the shot better than him ), the cover drive, the square cut, the pullshot over midwicket/square leg, the delicate leg glance, the late cut, the lofted shots over mid-on and mid-off and not to mention the improvisations he keeps coming up with time and again. He plays each of his shots amazingly well and has even employed the reverse sweep to good effect. A short but powerful man, some of his shots are hit with so much power that the ball simply rockets to the fence as if he was trying to dismiss the ball from his presence. On the other hand, some of his shots are simply timed and placed well. His timing can be quite exquisite and it is this blend of timing and raw power that puts him in the top league with Brian Lara (W.I.) ,Waugh Twins(Mark and Steve, Aus.) after sir don bradman.

Always involved in the game, he never hesitates to give his inputs to the captain or to the bowlers. His selfless approach and devotion to cricket coupled with the lack of any ego problems makes him one of the most approachable and likeable personalities on the cricket field. No wonder he commands a huge fan following all over the world. He is a great thinker of the game and a good strategist too.It was his great cricketing mind that saw him being appointed as the captain of the Indian side in 1996-97 making him the second youngest captain in the history of Indian cricket (the youngest being M.A.K. Pataudi who was appointed captain at the age of 21). He initially justified the faith put in him by leading India to series victories against Australia (Border - Gavaskar Trophy), South Africa (at home) and also lifted the TITAN cup (Triangular tournament featuring India, Australia & South Africa). But after that, the performances dropped. He was not given the squad that he wanted and India started losing under an unhappy captain. As usual, the skipper was made the scape-goat and citing his lack of form (!!! he had scored more than a thousand runs in both ODIs and Tests in 1997 - a record) was removed from captaincy. Since then, he has flourished with both the bat and the ball, and is thus back to his true self and the job he loves the most - winning matches for India.

With age on his side, this man is set out to be the highest run getter in the history of world cricket. He has already won rich praises from people and fellow/former cricketers who see in him a living legend and a master batsman who is leagues above his fellow cricketers.
Truly, a living legend and a great champion.

But after him lara and kapil have a tie for second but ponting doesn't deserve even to be in the list because sachin,lara,kapil dev have won matches for their country on their on whereas ponting's team is full of match winners and i don't think he has won many matches on his on.

Answer 9

Ricky Ponting is the best.

Answer 10

sachin is better than ponting.
and some time lara is also ok.
