In every conversation regarding the greatest cricketers of all time, Virat Kohli’s name is unavoidably brought up. Due to his outstanding accomplishments in both franchise and international cricket, the 35-year-old has gained admirers from all over the world.
Being regarded as one of the greatest athletes in history, Kohli is frequently compared to the renowned Sachin Tendulkar. It is noteworthy that Kohli is closing quickly on Tendulkar’s record of 100 centuries in international cricket. The all-star hitter has amassed eighty centuries.
In the ODI World Cup 2023, Kohli achieved his 50th century against New Zealand, breaking Tendulkar’s record of the most ODI hundreds (49). Curtly Ambrose, a former cricketer for the West Indies, has compared Kohli to Tendulkar and former Australia captain Ricky Ponting due to his steady style of play over the years.
“I adore watching Virat Kohli, the great man, who I also admire.” Asking me to compare Sachin and Virat is not acceptable. People like comparing players from different eras, so I don’t believe I know if he’s a fantastic player or how I evaluate them. In an interview with Sports Tak, Ambrose stated, “I don’t particularly like to do those things.”
“However, I can share my assessment of outstanding batsmen when I see them. Like Virat Kohli, who is currently stomping all over the cricket scene, I wonder if he would have performed better in my generation or one that came before my. Because I think he will, he receives fantastic marks from me. He continued, “Ricky Ponting and Sachin Tendulkar are both excellent players because they can rule any age.
In the ongoing Twenty20 World Cup 2024, Kohli has unable to establish himself. The right-hander has only amassed 66 runs from five innings at an average of 13.20 and a strike rate of 108.19 at the World Cup, following an incredible season in the Indian Premier League (IPL). In the team’s next game against Australia, Kohli and the others will be hoping that he can regain his form after struggling to do so in the initial innings.
