BeautifulGame Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 (edited) Kohli isn't even the best batsman in our team. At this age Sachin was already a certified All time great. That's the Gulf we are taking about. Seriously they aren't even in the ball park as batsmen for even comparison. Edited March 31, 2017 by BeautifulGame Link to comment
jalebi_bhai Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 ODIs - Kohli. Tests - SRT. Not even worth comparing. sourab10forever, velu and G_B_ 3 Link to comment
HippoSucks Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 (edited) Kohli is already an ATG in LOIs, and is the best batsman in our team by far. He can't be compared with Sachin in tests though. Edited March 31, 2017 by HippoSucks velu 1 Link to comment
randomGuy Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 (edited) Kohli already won more matches for India than sachin in his entire career.. or in his 10 future reincarnations...Kohli miles ahead. Embarrassing thread from a shameless sachin fan. Hardly surprising. Edited March 31, 2017 by randomGuy Rasgulla, kira, velu and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment
BeautifulGame Posted March 31, 2017 Author Share Posted March 31, 2017 Kohli is already an ATG is LOIs, and is the best batsman in our team by far. He can't be compared with Sachin in tests though. You have to dominate world cups to be an all time great in ODI/ score in knock outs. Kohli has nothing yet.Has time on his side obviously but scoring in bilaterals doesn't make u All time great. velu 1 Link to comment
maniac Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 I guess in LOI's Kohli is at a stage where we can start comparing him with Sachin. Again the key word here being in LOI's. Obviously Sachin never played T20I's bar that one inconsequential game where Dinesh Karthik of all people was the man of the match IIRC. In Tests Sachin is head and shoulders above Virat. Overall too there is no comparison-Sachin is ahead. velu 1 Link to comment

Hiding in there bunkers prob Maybe they are not replying because they know virat kohli is miles ahead and how many matches he won us singlehandedly compared to somme overrated dude who played for his personal milestones only. Sorry but Like a harsha bhogle, who is an embarrassment to whatever he represents imo - his city, his college etc. too many of sachin fans are also just an embarrassment to whatever they represent. velu, Sidhoni and Rasgulla 3 Link to comment

Kohli has played 5 knock out matches in world cup in his career and hasn't even scored a single fifty.So Kohli still have a long way to go in that regard too. It's only in T20s Kohli is a true great. sscomp32 and Sidhoni 2 Link to comment
Cricketics Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 I think no one was comparing them in a big deal or in serious way until OP created this thread. I think OP is wanting people to discuss this and have some kind of fight among fans. Most Kohli fans already know that he is going to be great but know that Kohli hasn't scored even half the runs Tendulkar scored. Until then Sachin will always be higher than any current great. Good try by OP to create fight among fans. Link to comment

Dude Kohli is regularly compared with Sachin on ICF.Maybe u need to check more posts on ICF lol I actually created this thread after seeing the nonsense comparison for umpteenth time . It's just nonsense. Rasgulla, sscomp32 and velu 3 Link to comment
Sidhoni Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Lol OP's way to stop a comparison is to start a thread for it? velu, kira, Cricketics and 1 other 4 Link to comment
Cricketics Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Lol little bit of his batting will always be compared, we have to be less sensitve and move on since Kohli has already achieved great things. i don't agree with the comparison either but little achievements will always be thrown on the forum, they always are, and will be whenever a player will go on to win so many games for a country in a short ODI career.

Ultimate_Game Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 (edited) Which format are we talking about? In shorter formats Kohli is already ahead. In Tests, if Kohli wins away from home I would rate him higher for his batting and captaincy. But across all formats combined I would take Kohli ahead of Tendulkar.

Kohli has shown through his chasing skills and being the man of the tournament in two world cups that he does fine under pressure. That is the only reason performance in WC is important. express bowling 1 Link to comment

How is Kohli already great in ODIs when he has nothing outside of India or in big tourney? Sachin was top scorer in two world cups and has a series win in Australia which no other team had kira 1 Link to comment

Agreed....scary fact is in their first world cups both performed above average Sachin scored 283 runs in 1992 and Kohli 282 in 2011...reincarnation But yes Virat faltered away in 2015 after a dream start where Sachin topped the charts in 1996. Sachin had an average 1999 WC by his standards-now if Virat tops the charts in 2019-then the comparisons will get stronger. Already Virat has had some dream innings just like Sachin has outside the WC. Yes T20 Virat is in ATG category and adding T20+ODI is already staking a claim for a LOI great BeautifulGame 1 Link to comment
