Can Kohli beat Tendulkar to most ODI centuries by 200+ innings?

[sourab10forever]

 

Stays at 43 after 233 innings

7 centuries to get in 19 innings.

Whats the use of all these 100s if he chokes in ICC tournaments? 3 WCs played, not one where he was even among top 3 batsmen. King of bilaterals and looks like that's how his career will finish, scoring meaningless 100s like he did vs WI after the WC where ideally he should have rested to give a younger player a proper run.

No it was the 90 odd by Rohit vs Pak and his Knockout in the semis.

 

Pandya’s knock was just a low pressure swing your bat as there is no alternative type situation. I rate his knock in the first game vs Pak in CT higher.

 

Same with Jadeja, he couldn’t finish the game but good effort.

 

Pandyas CT knock is one of the most overrated knocks out there. It’s no different from Umesh Yadavs recent 6 hitting spree 

True & let's not forget the fluke 90 odd in SA 

[rtmohanlal]

keep aside  these stats ..... would badly want him  to score atleast 1 100+  if not 2  in  world cup KO matches.

[Khota]

Those stats do nothing for the team. Needs to win the WC.

[gakgupta]

It took 79 innings for tendu to score his 1st 100. Doubt modern players can survive that lol also they don't have mumbai mafia backing like someone else!

That's because Tendulkar was batting at no:5...

In this time period he got numerous hundreds in test matches

Malinga has taken the most no of odi wickets this decade.  Just gives you an idea of bowling standards.

Kohli is so far ahead of Sachin, it is not even comparison.How many knockout hundreds does Sachin have against teams not named Kenya.

Kohli has to do well in World Cup knockouts matches but he has done very well in T20 World Cups, it is not the pressure .He has weakness against left arm fast bowlers and all knock out matches he face them. He has to overcome that weakness.

Point is that top bowlers of this generation has played very few odi games.  Most of the team playing with b grade attacks in Odis.  Which was not the case till 2010.  

 

Chaminda vaas has better numbers than malinga.

[FischerTal]

I would be disappointed if kohli doesn't reach 65-70. given his work ethic and the easier conditions in ODIs these days, its doable.

Keep the knockouts aside for a moment, let Kohli dominate at least one WC, one bloody WC where he is tournament's best batsman or even India's best batsman before you make such claims.

 

T20 WCs do not matter because Sachin never played in those.

Why should he dominate world cup to known as best batsman.Scoring runs in meanlingless games against Nambia does not make anyone great.Kohli plays at no3 unlike Sachin where he needs to play according to the situation.So far he had Rohit and Dhawan doing well and him doing the needful in matches other than knockouts.

 

Rohit scored 5 hundreds in this world cup does it make him better player than Sachin or Kohli.Sachin is nowhere near Kohli as an odi player period.

If you considered only top 8 sides, Kohli looks even worse compared to Sachin. We will even go into the kind of bowlers they faced.

 

In WCs, Kohli 673 runs@42 vs Sachin's 1397 runs@49

In tournament finals, 154 runs@22, vs Sachin's 1627 runs@49

Total tournament knockouts (finals, SFs, QFs), 247 runs@22 vs Sachin's 2130 runs@47

 

That record will make even a tailender proud. Better player than Kohli, yeah right

But that shudnt degrade someone work

Every era has its own challenges .....attacks arent that poor as we make out plus batting have evolved a lot. Pick old games highlight n todays one ull see batsman smash same ball in 4-5 diff areas which earlier player use to defend. The fitness level batsman has today makes them react to bowl quicker and running has become better. Batsman are also making bowling look poor

Add to it the pressure that has incresed given the incresed number of viewership and followers of LOI cricket and media scrutiny.

 

The schedule is another big challenge. Playing so many games is an accomplishment in its own. I'm sure the older generation didn't have to play so many games and switch between three formats so often.

Can't compare the two...different times in early to mid 90s Top Batsman would finish their career with less than 10 centuries. Even till early 2000s a select band of only 4 batsman had more than 20 centuries.

Crazy obsession of century gave comfort to Indian fans having a mediocre side first with SMG in 70/80s and then SRT in 90s.
