Explain. If you have something to say you should back it up with some facts or some sort of explaination.

hmm I will say Umar Akmal. He has played matches in tough conditions so far.

 

[Aoun13]

Umar has a challenge,he have to bat most of the time in ugly conditions and situations but this can really turn him into a best batsman of all time(very early to say) one of the best thing he has shown is he is aggressive no matter what format or which team.with passage of time he will able know when to hit and when to leave.
Virat has actually best chance to be a very good batsman,he is in the team where all are top quality batsman and he can learn from them.
Morgan is just and ODI player he is good with hitting but he more like Imran Nazir type of player.

Umar has shown more promise because he has done well against some tough sides (i.e. Australia and New Zealand in those countries)

Kohli however, hasn't played a test match yet and like I said previously scored well against Bangledesh but played very poorly when they truly needed him in the final with the a performance of 2 runs.

That wasn't him failing under pressure, that was most likely just the law of averages kicking in. His innings in Kolkata showed that he can play under pressure.

Look at the series as a whole. The only match he played well against Sri Lanka is the match were the target was low and they did not need him to perform. There is no law of averages if your good you play when your team needs you period.

You didn't watch any of the matches did you? His knock against Bangladesh may have come against a weak attack but chasing 296 on any pitch is difficult. The dew may have made it easier but the intense mental battle still existed and he certainly did not wilt.

At this point, Umar Akmal has the edge because he has test match experience and has shown that he can score runs in the toughest format of the game. That said, I do think Virat Kohli has a much cooler head on his shoulders and much better temperament than Umar Akmal. Umar has all the talent in the world but sometimes he just gets carried away and doesn't know when to stop. Sure, he's good, but he needs to realize that nobody is good enough to put every single ball to the boundary.

Kohli on the other hand has come a long way from the brash, egocentric player he was just 2-3 years ago. In IPL 1, Ray Jennings said something along of the lines of Kohli having a lot of talent but being too full of himself. Since then, Kohli himself has admitted that he had a slight attitude problem and has fixed it which coincidentally has worked out very well for him in the recent past.

Eoin Morgan has shown his ability in ODIs but his first class record suggests that he can't transfer that ability into the longer format of the game. At the moment, he's a bit of an ODI specialist.
