Since a very long time, there has always been this one debate about who is a better player among former Indian legendary batsman Sachin Tendulkar and India’s star-studded batsman Virat Kohli. Despite playing over different time periods, Indian fans are always faced with the question if Sachin is better or Kohli. The two batsmen have significantly contributed to team India’s cricket ambitions and enriched India’s position in Cricket. It is actually Virat Kohli due to which Cricket has now been included in the Olympics.Â
Virat Kohli’s never-ending records
Ex-Indian skipper Virat Kohli is often regarded as the only batsman who can break off Sachin Tendulkar’s international records. The 34-year old batsman is very close to equalling Sachin’s record of centuries in ODI cricket. Virat has been remarked as the next Sachin Tendulkar of India owing to the pace of records he is on the way to smash.Â
While speaking at an interview, Australian batsman remarked that Virat is the better cricketer. “I am going to say Virat Kohli is better than Sachin Tendulkar in ODIs. If you look at the stats, he has almost taken over how many hundreds he has got, and he has played so many more less games. Sachin was the benchmark for when I grew up, but what Kohli is doing right now-no one has ever done that in the game”, Usman stated.Â
Comparing Tendulkar and Kohli
India’s Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar has an extraordinary record for smashing 10,000 runs in ODI Cricket. He has scored 49 centuries and 96 half centuries in 463 ODI matches while Virat is just two centuries short to break Sachin’s record. Kohli has already smashed 47 centuries in 284 ODI matches. Kohli is definitely one the greatest cricketers and his dedication and consistency in the journey of chasing runs has always been of top most importance for team India.Â
