Twenty-Twenty: Here There Cant Be Any Comparison As Sachin Played Just 1 T-20 Scoring 10 Runs In It, Kohli Is Arguably Best Batsman In T-20 With 2200 Runs In 67 Matches At Average Of 50 With 20 Half Centuries
Test: Here I Believe Sachin Is Much Better.
Sachin Has Scored 15900 Runs At An Average Of Around 54, Important Point Here Is That Sachin Has Maintained This Average Playing 200 Matches, Sachin Has 51 Centuries And 68 Half Centuries.
Virat Has Scored 6600 Runs In 77 Matches At An Average Of Around 54 With 25 Centuries And 20 Half Centuries
One Day Internationals: Here Its Close Competition Between Sachin And Kohli But I Believe Kohli Is Better.
Kohli Scored 10800 Runs In 225 Matches At An Average Of Around 60 With 41 Centuries And 49 Fifties
Sachin Scored 18400 Runs In 463 Matches At An Average Of Around 45 With 49 Centuries And 96 Half Centuries
Overall: I Believe Sachin Is A Better Batsman. Having Said That I Must Say The Way Don Bradman And Sachin Tendulkar Were Greatest In Their Era, Virat Kohli Is Greatest In His Era.
Sachin Haters Often Make Some Excuses Like-
Sachin Scored So Many Runs And Centuries Bcz He Played For Long And Anyone Can Do That Playing For So Long In That Many Matches But The Thing Is That Let Alone Achieving What Sachin Had Achieved In Terms Of Records Even Playing For That Long In Itself Is A Huge Challenge, It Requires Extraordinary Talent, Passion, Dedication And Fitness To Debut Merely At The Age Of 16 In International Cricket And Then Go On To Play Till 40 Years, He Made Debut In Bowler Friendly Era When Even Rules And Playing Conditions Were Not Batsman Friendly Plus Sachin Faced Most Of The Greatest Bowlers Of International Cricket In His Lifetime Still Achieved All This. Also Playing For 25 Odd Years Is Not A Joke That Too After Going Through Many Serious Injuries Which Are Capable Of Ending Career Of Any Cricketer.
The Most Important Point Is That Sachin Maintained Average Of Around 54 In Test And 45 In Odi Playing 200 And 463 Matches Respectively, Which Is Enough To Prove His Consistency.
Also Haters Say That Sachin Plays For His Own Records But Had That Been The Case He Would Have Easily Scored 19000 Odi Runs, Played 500 Odi Matches, Scored 50 Centuries And 100 Fifties In Odi, Scored 16000 Test Runs, 75 Test Fifties, This Way Even His 35000 International Runs Would Have Been Completed.
Again Important Point Is That Out Of 100 Centuries That He Scored India Lost Only 25 Times
Besides He Also Got Out Record 28 Times In 90s (18 In Odi, 10 In Test) And Has 200 International Wickets
Sachin Has Excellent Record Against Top Most Team Of That Time Australia Along With Other Top Teams And Also Against Arch Rival Pakistan Both In India And Outside India Across Formats, He Was A Complete Player.
Some Of Major Records Of Sachin Are-
- Most Matches, Runs, Centuries , Fifties, Man Of The Match And Man Of The Series In Test And Odi
- Most Runs And 100s In A Calender Year, Most Times 1000 Runs In Calendar Year, Most Fours In ODI
- Most Runs In World Cup Both Overall And Single Edition, Most Centuries In World Cups As Well
- 1st Cricketer To Score Double Hundred In ODI
Sachin Is Not Greatest Batsman Merely Because Of His Records But Because Of Unparalleled Impact On The Game And He Has Been Most Popular Cricketer Of All Time Not Just In India But Entire World, The Craze And Hysteria Generated By Sachin Remains Unmatched, Besides That Why He Is So Much Loved And Respected Is Bcz Of His Humble Nature, He Always Stayed Grounded And Behaved Like A Gentleman Both On And Off Field, This Is What Makes Him God Of Cricket!
