COMPARISON IS THE THIEF OF THE JOY; Yeah, I do believe it, but that is the only way to distinguish the batsman of two different ages. Still, there are other few factors like bouncy pitches, quality opposition bowling, width and breadth of the willows and the grounds make into the scene. However, avoiding all the other factors, let’s look at the statistical comparison between two stalwart players of India, Virat Kohli and Sachin Tendulkar.

Without any ray of a doubt, we can call them the symbols of two unique eras of cricket. One faced the solid bowling attack with not much technical support and used to carry the whole burden of the team. While on the other hand, we have got Virat Kohli, who has been pretty consistent on a regular basis despite the game being evolved vastly on a regular basis.

However, no one can give you the sheerest comparison between the two players. So let’s get based on the numbers registered by both the incredible persons, who took the game by a storm.
