Looking at the figures, Harmer took 119 wickets in all formats. He played 19 FC games and 23 Limited overs ones, for a wicket average per game of 2.83. That means for every wicket taken by Harmer, Kohli scored 29 runs. Factor that up by his wicket per game, and to assume their performance was comparable, Kohli would have to score 82.07 runs every single game, regardless of format, to counter act those wickets assuming they performed to the same level.
They obviously didnt. At a pure guess say Kohli accounts for 60 percent of the points total (2000 total runs v 3415,roughly), or gained 5400 points, that would mean his performance rated at 72 percent of Harmers. That means to rate at Harmer, hed have to score actually 105 runs per game, or by total 4371 for the calendar year.
Now, Virat has untouchable averages in Limited overs. If he scored at the best career averages ever recorded in all his ipl games, T20Is and ODIs, he would have scored 2026 runs in the number of matches he played. That would leave him needing to score 180.5 runs per test match to draw with Harmer...... Don Bradman only managed 134 per test match.
So. In order for Kohli to win, hed have to have scored 700 more runs than anyone has ever managed in a season. Hed have to have performed to the level of the best T20 player ever, the best ODI player ever, then overcome the relatively minor task of outbatting a man who averaged the best part of 40 runs better than anyone ever managed, and add another 45 per test on top of that.
