Virat Kohli vs Sachin Tendulkar News

Sachin Tendulkar’s record-breaking moment came in 2006 against Pakistan in Peshawar, where he reached the 14,000-run landmark in his 350th innings.

Kohli stands alone in his ability to win all major ICC titles, including the U19 World Cup, ICC ODI World Cup, ICC T20 World Cup, and the prestigious ICC Test Championship mace.

The 35-year-old Virat Kohli, a name synonymous with modern-day cricketing excellence, is on the cusp of breaking a record that has stood the test of time.

When asked recently to choose his "GOAT" player, Kohli refused and said that he did consider himself to be in that category.

In the third game against Sri Lanka, Kohli scored his second-highest ODI score of 166* off 110 balls, which enabled the Men in Blue compile a massive 390.

Tendulkar had over 25,525 runs by the age of 34 by playing only two formats of the games – Tests and ODIs. While Kohli has managed to score 24,002 runs just shy of 34 years. Kohli’s last international hundred came in 2019 against Bangladesh in Test match. He went through a barren patch of 3 years. Kohli has reached 71 international centuries in one match less than the legendary Sachin Tendulkar – 522 to 523.

The Delhi-based cricketer tumbled down a plethora of records with his blistering 116-ball 100 at Premadasa, but what left the analysts and few legends of game rather astonished is that at such an early part of his career and at such a young age, Kohli seems to be slowly and silently inching towards the cricketing records set by Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar.
