Veteran England middle-order batsman, Owais Shah has revealed as to who he feels is the best batsman ever in cricketing history. Over the 150 year-long history of cricket, there have been many prolific batsmen who have gone on to rise in the sport. However, Owais believes that master-blaster Sachin Tendulkar and the current Indian skipper Virat Kohli are the two greatest batsmen ever.

In an exclusive interview with CricketAddictor.com, Owais said that these 2 Indian Legends have been the greatest batsmen ever in international cricket. Owais might certainly be very while stating the fact as the statistics go on to show the same.

Owais Shah Names The Greatest Batsman Ever In International Cricket

Sachin Tendulkar is widely regarded as the ‘God of Cricket’ because of his achievements during his stint at the crease. Tendulkar amassed more than 34000 runs in international cricket. He set and broke many records during his time and he is the undisputed king of the sport.

What sets him apart is the fact that he sustained for an immensely long period in the international circuit. Sachin had a 24-year long international career. Many players can’t even sustain its half because of the competitiveness that international cricket brings along with.

Virat Kohli Is The Modern Day Legend In International Cricket

Indian captain Virat Kohli is undeniably one of the greatest batsmen of his generation. Kohli has scored more than 20,000 runs in international cricket so far, and although he might have had a rough patch recently, he seems to be racking up records for fun.

The modern-day marvel in the game of cricket has already smashed 70 international centuries and looks right on the path of breaking Sachin’s record of 100 international centuries. Many cricketing greats have acknowledged the fact that Virat Kohli has no competition in international cricket and Owais Shah has just gone on to affirm the same.
