Any comments about Mythical nature of Jesus, Moses or Muhammad?
  There is NO historical proof that any of the above did any miraculous work to render them divine --like resurrection of Christ, parting the waves crossing the Red sea by Moses etc  --yet despite the stories circulating around them which defy human logic -they are believed to have existed. 
   
  Why not about Ram or Krishna ( recently they have even found an underwater city -adjacent Dwarka- established by Krishna -as mentioned in Mahabharat and other Hindu texts) -despite some miraculous/illogical events?

they are mentioned as myths because their
historicities have not been established yet. the
excavations at ayodhya and other mythological sites
have given us nothing. there is a strong opinion that
the ayodhya is possibly in afghanistan. the vedic
sarayu is identified with the avestan haroyu, the
present name of which is helmand in afghanistan. it is
possible we might find the copper age rama's ayodhya
there.

the archeological evidence will only provide the date
and time of a possible settlement. the myth of rama
has grown over the centuries, each rendering adding
newer and newer details. so in the end, the
historical rama could be very different from the
mythological rama.
