Quick answer: who is better?
There is no single winner across every format and role. Ishan Kishan and Tilak Varma are middle-order batters competing for the same India T20I spot. The fair comparison splits T20I, ODI, Test (where applicable) and recent IPL form — then weighs what you actually need: runs, wickets, strike rate or fantasy points.
What to compare before picking a captain
- Recent form (last 5–10 innings) vs career average
- Strike rate / economy in the format you are playing fantasy for
- Venue and opposition if the match is today
- Role ceiling — an opener faces more balls; a bowler peaks on wicket hauls
