Sachin Tendulkar v Virat Kohli - who is better ODI batsman?
5 years back no one would have imagined that SRT can be compared any other batsman in ODIs so soon. For years this discussion has been avoided saying that Kohli has long way to go.
But now Kohli is already halfway through in terms of number of runs and smashing all records left and right. He has got 32 centuries and it seems that he will easily surpass SRT's ODI 100s record.
SRT
Matches: 463
Runs: 18426
Avg: 44.83
SR: 86.23
100s: 49
50s: 96
Games played by SRT against legit ODI ATG bowlers. Not even counting some of the other very good bowlers like Gough, Steyn, Akhtar, Morkel, Fanie DeVilliers, Bracken, Fleming etc. Just the undisputed ODI ATGs.

Clearly there is no major difference in the quality of bowling faced .
