Former India’s captain Virat Kohli is someone who has shattered multiple records in international cricket, and it won’t be an exaggeration to name him as one of the modern cricket greats. Virat Kohli is often compared with the God of cricket, Sachin Tendulkar, whose record of international runs will be a challenge for the current and upcoming batters to break. According to Sanjay Manjrekar, not just batting skills and strike rates, both have scored in international cricket. One more thing is common between these two batters, and that is their love for cricket.
The one similarity between Virat Kohli and Sachin Tendulkar is that both of them enjoy playing cricket. They want to be on the field. He was not part of the team for the game against Bangladesh but was still on the field. I don’t think Virat Kohli wants power or leadership,
Sanjay Manjrekar in an interview with Vimal Kumar
Sachin Tendulkar in his cricket career posted a mountain of runs with 100 centuries and 34357 runs. The cricketer has set up a foot that would be a task to get close to for the batters. Virat Kohli has so far scored 77 centuries in his 15-year international cricket career. The 77th international century came against Pakistan in the Asia Cup, which took the batter to 25711 runs. Now he is in the top 5 batters with the highest total runs. He is behind Sri Lanka’s great Mahela Jayawardene, who has 25957 runs. Virat Kohli could surpass him to occupy the fourth spot, but it would be difficult to break Sachin Tendulkar’s record.
“Sachin Tendulkar has 51 hundreds, 17 more than what Sunil Gavaskar finished with. For a good player, accumulating runs in ODIs is comparatively easy, as bowlers don’t always try to take a wicket. Tendulkar and Kohli are special because they also have a lot of Test hundreds. However, I believe it will be very difficult for Kohli to reach 51 Test centuries.”
