I bet Virat will take the lead again with a Hat Trick of tons against the West Indies Team. It's just a matter of time. 

 

Form is temporary, Class is permanent. 

 

Just wait and watch. 

yes, kohli's good form is temporary, while SRT's class is permanent

Kohli is Highest Run scorer in CT 2013 Final which India won 

 

2011 WC Final -  18 

2007 WC - Couldn't even reach Knockout stages!

2003 WC Final - 4 

1999 WC - Couldn't even reach Knockout stages!

 

Yeah "God" Sachin  is better.

 Still remember that batting performance, next day everyone was talking about how India crossed 90 runs in the first ten overs. It was unheard of in that era .

Both are aboslute mental midgets in KO games. absolute mental midgets. Like total mental midgets. Like real world class top tier mental midgets. 

 

In terms of who is better? I will take sacchu all day anyday. Sacchu with our bowling attack of odi in 2019 would have helped us win the WC.

Sachhu would have scored in semis but bottled in finals.

 

The only difference is that Lohlli bottled it in semis only.

Agreed. Even in tests both are the same. Never have managed to help us win an away series unnlike Smith.

• kohli scored in 2013 CT final which we won
• Played a cruicial inning in 2011 Wc final which we won 
• Scored runs in 2014 T20 final, we lost due yuvi n dhoni. 
• Scored in 2016 t20 Semi , we lost due to rahane innings

Kohli is more clutch than Tendya who is the ultimate scorer of meaningless runs in losing causes

Yes I suppose. Sacchu was a master choker. I don't recall one test series where he helped us win away from home in sea due to his contributions. Not including n.z because they were scrubs at times. 2009 was a joke team we best. 

 

Don't get me wrong, kohli too is a master choker in tests and odi. He is clutch in t20. Well atleast till 2016.

Kohli is not as technically sound as Sachin. Given the fact he has no real backfoot game he relies purely on his form and touch.  He is not that familiar against new ball vagaries as Sachin was.  Sachin is mentally prepared to face new ball. So he could easily adapt. In 2003 world cup final, INdia was looking at a total of 360. Honestly those days 360 total was an unrealistic chase. He didn't have a clue how to plan his chase. He tried to go after from first over. Lost his wicket. I would excuse him for that. But 2011 WC final was not good for him.  Having said that both Kohli and Sachin have been very good against our arch nemesis Pakistan in world events. A match with highest pressure for any participant.
