Virat & Sachin: A Tale Of Comparison

It will be wrong to undermine the importance of Virat Kohli but Sachin carried the burden of the entire top order on his shoulders...

Cricketers are of two types. There are some who are not able to decode the tough situations despite being talented but completely opposite to them are those who can win matches from even the dead situations. Virat Kohli belongs to the second category as he is hardly bothered by the opposition and the task on hand. He is the one who believes that nothing is impossible for a human being of his caliber. The last few months have been great for him where he has won matches single handedly for his national team. Making rivals look small and pity in front of him has been the norm of his personality these days. The world is going gaga over this lad with some calling him the next Sachin Tendulkar or even the greatest in the history of the game. Apart from the fans, former cricketers like Navjot Singh Sidhu, Sunil Gavaskar and few others have already labeled him as dangerous as the Master Blaster. However, before jumping to any conclusion, we should ask ourselves whether these comparisons are right. Are we doing justice to these two big stars of the game? Has Virat done enough to be kept in the league of Sachin Tendulkar?

ROLES ARE DIFFERENT
