Well this a tough question.Both Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli are one the most elite this a tough question.Both Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli are one the most elite cricketers India has ever produced, not only for itself, but for the entire world. At one side is Sachin Tendulkar who is regarded as the best batsman in the world after Don Bradman according to widen cricket almanac. On the other side ,Virat kohli is considered best after exceptionally skillful and knighted west Indian legend Sir Isaac Vivan Alexander Richards. So, there is no doubt it would be difficult to choose who is the best among the two. So, from that perspective, Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul shouldn’t be criticized by the media. Though I would partially agree, after doing a lot of ‘ soch vichar’, on Sachin being the better of the two. Why? Let’s see.
Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli are both legendary cricketers . They have played Excellently and have secured India and themselves, a respectable place in the hall of fame. Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar is a player who, right from a ripe age of 16, built up the momentum and then later on started breaking records in his middle and later stages of his career. Bearing titles like little master and the god of cricket, the short, yet terrifying batsman, feared by the tallest of bowlers made the Highest runs after Brian Lara in test cricket with 15921 runs and 51 centuries. He also scored 18426 runs in ODI with 49 100. He was twice named the widen leading cricketer of the year 1998 and 2010. He has also been awarded Padma Bhushan and Padma Bibhushan and the Bharat Ratna by the Indian govt.
But Virat Kohli has been the Hero of Indian cricket for about a decade. He has scored 10385 runs in ODI, breaking the record of being the fastest batsmen to reach 10000+ runs with a quite appreciable strike rate of 92.7. He also has 2167 runs to his name in T20 cricket with an astounding strike rate of 136!!! That’s amazing right? So Why did I say Sachin is better than Kohli?
It’s because Sachin made a major impact on the Indian cricket. He has built an empire and
made the world realize that India is a now a powerhouse of producing great cricketers. During
his era cricket took a huge leap. It was further improvised by like of MS Dhoni and Kohli has just the much improved cricket condition in India. During Sachin era, India also achieved a world Cup. So for me till now Sachin is the better one. But Sachin has ended his career and Kohli hasn’t. So in later period Kohli may change many Indians mind but Sachin's contribution will always be recognized. Sorry Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul but most don't agree with you till now. No matter who is the greater one they both are my cricketing idols. Legends need to be respected.
