Is Sara Ali Khan better than Alia Bhatt?

 Well, Both Sara Ali Khan and Alia Bhatt is from same age 25. and both the actress from well known Bollywood family but yes I agree on this point Sara is a much better actress then Alia because Sara has that attitude, that personality.

and you know what she has a brilliant mind too, she is Beauty with Brain guys!

I do a little Homework on Sara Ali Khan-

• Sara Ali Khan Interview with Anupama Chopra- that interview is amazing the way she presents herself in front of Anupama yes she did it.

• Sara Ali Khan Interview with Karan Johar- and yes the one one who can forget, with Karan at Koffee with Karen again she is perfect the manipulate answer for Sara side will describe his intelligence.

• Even in Kedarnath Sara Performance, she is confident, she is doing well, she is perfect.

and if I come to Alia, when a reporter asks Alia about the senior thing- “Alia Bhatt reacts on being senior to Janhvi Kapoor and Sara Ali Khan” again we can saw her childish and stupid behavior yes I agree she is cute but what’s that you have to pay attention and think before speak and react you are in a good position whatever you do many millions of people will follow you so if you are in a position. respect them go and complete school girl we don’t need a Barbie doll. and in the case of alia, we clearly see how much a good education is Important…

and did we know alia triangle relationship, that I think so alia will never clear that in this life… once she is with Varun, after Varun she is deeply and madly falls in love with Sid…

and then go with Ranbir I means what's that and I think college girl will understand that action on the relationship is only done by Brainless beautiful girls because only that type of girl will know how to trap a boy!

and how much weight she lost uff she looks too skinny, what’s wrong with her beauty in every Bollywood party she makes a bun and looks like an amma, ridiculous!

well, I am an Alia fan but if we compare both the Actress then yes Sara is Better then Alia. and apologize if any alia fan don’t like this post but this is just an emotion I express…

Who was a better batsman, Sachin Tendulkar or Sunil Gavaskar?

 This is a debatable question but I would go with Sachin Tendulkar. Sunil Gavaskar was great in Test cricket but not so much in ODI’s. Gavaskar was purely a batsman but Tendulkar was quite handy as a bowler.

In favour of Gavaskar he faced one of the most hostile fast pace bowling from peak West Indies, at a time when players played fiwtout helmets, with small bats, big boundaries, and hardly any bowling restrictions on short bowling. He had an average of 51 in tests which is great for that time as well. Even in ODI'S he improved in the last 2–3 years and ended up with one century and 3092 runs with an average of 35. Had his ODI record better he could been neck to neck with Sachin. His strike rate was another weakness with a strike rate of 40 in tests and 62 in ODI. As a bowler Gavaskar hardly did anything substantial with only 2 wickets to his credit. Another negative aspects of his career was the 36* of 174 balls in the 1975 world cup which is one of the worst innings ever played in international cricket. He didn't perform well in any of the world cups for India except 1987. He failed spectacularly in the 1983 world cup which india won. In the 1987 however he scored 300 runs which is more than half of his total world cup runs.

Now coming to Tendulkar he didn't faced the prime West Indies bowling but still he played Walsh and Ambrose along with other great bowlers like prime Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis, McGrath, Lee, Warne, Murli, Vaas etc. Tendulkar unlike Gavaskar was an agressive batsman whose Test strike rate was almost same as Gavaskar’s ODI strike rate and in one days he had a healthy strike rate of 86. Even his average of 53 in tests and 44 in ODI is better. He is the highest run scorer in ODI and tests since about two decades and unless Root breaks his test tally he is going to remain at the top for eternity. Tendulkar was more than just a part time bowler. He led India to victory with his bowling multiple times. He has 2 give wicket hall and overall 201 wickets to his credit. In the world cup Sachin had the highest runs in two editions 1996 and 2003. Also he was the second highest overall scorer and highest scorer for India in the 2011 world cup.

All in all both players belong to very different period and thus comparison is unjustified but still on purely basis of stats Sachin seems ahead of Gavaskar.

Who has been a better batsman between Saurabh Ganguly or Rahul Dravid?

 Well,firstly,the name is Sourav Ganguly,and not what the question states.

Secondly,its really a sin to compare two absolute legends and gems of Indian cricket. But then,comparison is human nature,and so,I’ll compare them according to their batting skills,in the most impartial way possible.

Disclaimer- My answer is not meant to hurt the fans of any of the two cricketers. I have tremendous respect for both of them.

Comparison across formats(only tests and ODIs involved,as Ganguly never played a T20I,and Dravid played just 1). I have alloted 1 point as full point for each round of comparison. And for convenience,I’ll denote Ganguly as G and Dravid as D. Also,I’d skip batting averages at home,as its common sense that every batsman enjoys home conditions-

Test cricket-

Many people call Rahul Dravid as the best test batsman of India,rating him above even Sachin Tendulkar.

• Overall stats-

1. Ganguly- 7212 runs in 113 matches(188 innings)
2. Dravid- 13288 runs in 164 matches(286 innings)

• Runs/innings-

1. Ganguly- 38.36
2. Dravid- 46.46

So here,Dravid beats Ganguly by a huge margin(D1- G0)

• Overall batting average-

1. Ganguly- 42.2
2. Dravid- 52.3

Here too,Dravid is way ahead of Ganguly(D2- G0)

• Overseas batting average(overall)-

1. Ganguly- 41.6
2. Dravid- 53

Dravid is way ahead of Ganguly here(D3- G0)

• Overseas batting average(country specific)

1. Australia- Ganguly- 35 < Dravid- 41.6
2. England- Ganguly- 65.4 < Dravid- 69
3. South Africa- Ganguly- 36.2 > Dravid- 30
4. West Indies- Ganguly- 40 < Dravid- 65.7
5. New Zealand- Ganguly- 28 < Dravid- 64
6. Sri Lanka- Ganguly- 36.7 > Dravid- 33
7. Pakistan- Ganguly- 49.3 < Dravid- 78.6
8. Bangladesh- Ganguly- 62 < Dravid- 70
9. Zimbabwe- Ganguly- 30.6 < Dravid- 79

So,here Dravid is ahead of Ganguly by (7–2) margin.

Overall,Dravid leads Ganguly by (D10- G2)

Conclusion in tests- So,judging by the statistics,Rahul Dravid has simply outclassed Sourav Ganguly,as a way better batsman,in test cricket.

But,here comes the twist. Rahul Dravid has played a whooping 213 innings,at no.3,which is right at the top of the order. But poor Ganguly has never played even a 100 innings at a specific batting position. He has played 99 innings at no.5,where he averages 38,and 47 innings at no.6,where he averages 42. And both these batting positions,especially no.6,are lower middle-order batting positions. So,its quite evident,that mostly,Ganguly had to bat with the tail-enders. And batting with tail-enders,especially in SENAW countries isn’t easy at all. So,stats always don’t say the whole thing.

But going by stats,Dravid is way better as a test batsman.

《●》《●》《●》《●》《●》《●》《●》《●》

Now ODI cricket-

• Overall stats-

1. Ganguly- 11363 runs in 311 ODIs(300 innings)
2. Dravid- 10889 runs in 344 ODIs(318 innings)

• Runs/innings-

1. Ganguly- 37.9
2. Dravid- 34.2

So,Ganguly is better than Dravid here.(G1- D0)

• Batting average(overall)-

1. Ganguly- 41.1
2. Dravid- 39.1

So,Ganguly outsmarts Dravid here.(G2- D0)

• Batting avearge(overseas,as a whole)-

1. Ganguly- 39.7
2. Dravid- 37.6

Ganguly is ahead here too.(G3- D0)

• Batting average(in Australia and South Africa,toughest touring nations)-

1. Ganguly- 33.3 and 50
2. Dravid- 32.8 and 44.3

Ganguly is slightly ahead here too,inspite of his so called short-ball weakness.(G4- D0)

• Strike-rate-

1. Ganguly- 74
2. Dravid- 71

Ganguly has better S/R. (G5- D0)

• Performances in CWC-

1. Ganguly- 1006 runs in 21 matches,at an average of 56,and S/R of 77.5
2. Dravid- 860 runs in 22 matches,at an average of 61.42,and S/R of 75.

Dravid has better average,but Ganguly has better S/R,so points will be shared here. (G6- D1)

• Performances in ICC Champions’ Trophy-

1. Ganguly- 665 runs in 13 matches,at an average of 74,and a S/R of 83.
2. Dravid- 627 runs in 19 matches,at an average of 48,and a S/R of 73.

Here,Ganguly is way ahead of Rahul Dravid.(G7- D1)

• Not-out frequency(total not-outs in total innings)

1. Ganguly- 0.076(23 not-outs in 300 innings)
2. Dravid- 0.125(40 not-outs in 318 innings)

Dravid has higher not-out frequency.(G7- D2)

• Performances in crunch clashes-

Ganguly has 3 tons and a brilliant 83,in the knock-out matches of ICC CWC and ICC Knockout Trophy/Champions’ Trophy. Rahul Dravid hasn’t got even a decent score to show.

Ganguly makes it (8–2) against Dravid in ODIs.

Conclusion in ODIs- Sourav Ganguly was a way better batsman in this format,than Rahul Dravid. Ganguly has single-handedly bailed India out of trouble in several matches,while Dravid has very few moments in his entire ODI career,most notably- his 22-ball-50 against NZ,and being the highest scorer in ICC CWC 1999.

Overall conclusion- The honours have been shared. Rahul Dravid emerged as a better batsman in tests,whilst Ganguly proved his mettle in ODIs.

However,both have got immense contributions to Indian cricket,and will always remain the epitomes of India’s success between the years 1996- 2008.

P. S.- It took exactly 4.5 hours to compile the stats,and then organize this answer. Its my heartiest request to all readers,please read the answer till the end,and please do upvote if you like it.🙏🌝

Special mention(idea given by Jotham )-

Comparison of batting stats of captain Ganguly and captain Dravid-

In tests-

1. Dravid- 44.51(25 matches)
2. Ganguly- 37.66(49 matches)

So,Dravid was a much better batsman,while captaining team India,than Ganguly,though Ganguly has captained in a lot more tests.

In ODIs-

1. Dravid- 42.2(79 matches)
2. Ganguly- 38.7(147 matches)

Dravid outsmarts Ganguly here too,but again,Ganguly was captain for almost twice as many matches as Dravid.
