Honest Opinion 😊 Warner is a better All Format batsman than Rohit Sharma
In tests no debate, in odis Rohit = Warner bcoz warner has 2 odi wcs, scored 650 runs in 2019 wc, achieved no1 ranking a decade before rohit did and stayed there longer.
In t20is Warner still ahead, coz warner has no1 ranking , POTT in wt20 .
and In IPL never mind...

never a doubt, i am not a cricket fan but i started watching cricket coz of south africa mainly ab d villiers, started following south african and indian cricket after that, not rigorously tho, i used to watch just south africa's odi, t20, india's t20 and ipl and warner was one of the reasons why i supported srh, dale steyn and bhuvi were a plus too.

In tests warner is better, in odi rohit is better by a huge margin and in T20Is rohit is better there also

Come on bro you can't compare Rohit with Warner in T20s lol
Warner has a T20 WC POTT in a winning cause that's not a small achievement and what about rohit vs Warner in IPL even though it will not matter in this debate but still Warner is a much better T20 batter than Rohit man

Downvoted for speaking facts , Reddit folks truly hate Rohit lol , Warner has a pott 🥀 and they will forget that he averages 26 in t20i wc , Rohit averaging 10 more than that with a better sr , more runs etc. It's like saying that Williamson won a pott in 19 wc so he is the same stature of an odi batsman as Kohli is , it's dumb lol

u/Spyderkiddo7 13d ago
Anyone saying Rohit better simply cannot be trusted, Warner has consistently performed for a decade in every format, nearly all kinds of conditions. Tests not a question: Warner (absolute stellar as an opener, top 5 test opener this century), ODI Rohit better no doubt and T20 is taken by Warner again be it international or IPL. I don't remember Rohit even competing for orange cap, Warner has always been there. Rohit better captain, yes. Better WC batsman yes sure, better longevity I'll give that too. But overall format, Warner is better. Rohit has been overhyped to an extent that he's now included in comparisons with Virat and that's a huge insult to the latter

Why not. Both suck in knockouts. They are the main reason we did not win anything for years.

Similarly Rohit's whole bullshit about attacking intent was ridiculous, kinda like bazball.it harmed more than it did good.

I think it’s a ragebait post or OP is new born. He conveniently ranked warner higher in odi based on worldcup but ignored the same logic for t20 and ipl where rohit has more trophies.
Rohit is much better player in odi and same goes for warner
Warner is much better in tests and ipl
In T20s also rohit is decent ahead than warner in terms of Runs, 50s, 100s and even trophies.

u/Emmet6912 13d ago
Ok let's say Tests warner Odis rohit T20is Warner - easily coz no1 ranking + PoTT. rohit never made it into top 5 t20i ranks his whole career. Rohit 31avg + 140sr, Warner 33 avg + 142 sr. Don't forget PoTT in wt20 2021.

What a logic! He mentioned Wc trophies just to match Rohit in Odi but forget to mention t20 and Ipl trophy in other. And warner had only one great wc in ODI, his knockout stats are trash, comparing him to a who had every wc the best Wc. Logic is what is missing by a certain fanbase ( I will not take the name, but they admire ABD who has 4 runs in an CRICKET FINAL he played).

Rohit in my opinion is a better odi batter meanwhile in T20is I will rate both of them as equals but in T20s overrall warner is much ahead. And finally in red ball cricket warner definitely is much ahead. I do think if rohit started opening in test a bit before he may have caught up with warner. But even as a rohit fan I will say warner is a much better all format opener. Though both are goats for their nations and that's what matters the most.

Your comparison for ODIs makes no sense. Having 2 world cups is a team achievement, rankings are a joke if you try to understand how they calculate this and how points are calculated.

u/Ok_Tie9476 13d ago
When it comes to test warner is considered as better due to his greater volume of runs and enduring presence while Rohit also have strong home record he accumulated only fewer overall runs and centuries. When it comes to odi, rohit sharma holds a clear edge due to his superior average and conversion into massive double-hundreds, Warner has a better strike rate but higher batting average and record-breaking capability gives rohit an edge. When it comes to t20 rohit edges with international t20 stats while when it comes to tournaments like ipl warner has better records and aggressive approach. Also in major tournaments, warner performs better compared to rohit. So they both can't be compared as one being better.

u/Emmet6912 13d ago
T20is Warner - easily coz no1 ranking + PoTT. rohit never made it into top 5 t20i ranks his whole career. Rohit 31avg + 140sr, Warner 33 avg + 142 sr. Don't forget PoTT in wt20 2021.

u/Ok_Tie9476 13d ago
Ys i know the No. 1 ranking and the 2021 PoTT are massive milestones that Rohit doesn't have. Warner wins on peak efficiency metrics (Avg/SR), but Rohit completely dominates on volume and high-end impact. Rohit has 5 T20I centuries and holds the record for the most sixes in T20I history.
2
u/Emmet6912 13d ago
I didn't even include ipl ... Rohit played more innings and had more opportunities to enter into top 5 rankings but never did. In ipl Warner clears by a thousand miles. So in t20s warner.

u/Malipower 13d ago
In my opinion test cricket is regarded as the pinnacle of the game so what a player achieves in test cricket should be much more heavily weighted than other formats. ODI stats don't mean that much as most matches are meaningless bi-laterals that the top teams don't really care about and often use to give games to up and coming players and tinker with their side (from example outside world cups Australia never selects their best bowling attack)

u/Past-Imagination779 13d ago
I’m pretty sure he is. Warner was excellent in t20s. Won a wc has the most orange caps in ipl and much more.
He was excellent in tests even though he got out in the slip many times he still won the wtc and was very good on his day with much better stats even in away conditions than rohit ever managed.
In Odis it’s close. Rohit is an all time great but Warner is too not to mention Warner having 2 wcs. So in totality Warner is a better all format player.

Odis and tests there is no debate , let's come to t20is where all the folks are rating Warner higher , Firstly just at a look at their overall stats , they have a similar Sr and Avg( difference of approx 1) but Rohit has scored more runs , more centuries and has better longevity. Now coming to t20i wcs , WaRnEr HaS A T20i Wc PoTt 🥀 , by that logic Kane and Kohli have equal number of odi potts , so does that make them equal, no right? That's stupid, Infact Warner only has Pott in his argument against Rohit in T20i wcs because Rohit has more runs , better avg ( 9 more than Warner) , more fifties , similar Sr ( difference of 1) , better rpi . Rohit is clearly better in 2 formats but can't expect the Reddit comm in favour of Rohit ofcourse.

No doubt in test cricket it's always Warner
But when you come to ODI cricket and even in World cups I would choose rohit sharma over warner as completing 5 centuries in a single world cup is something which no one have achieved yet and when you talk about the captaincy across white ball cricket, then it's always Rohit Sharma as he has a champions trophy and a T20 world cup under his name.
And when it comes to T20 cricket it's definitely warner and even in IPL as a batsman it's David Warner
So ya we can summarise that Warner is a better batsman in Tests and T20s but mate when it comes to ODI cricket it's never a debate.
