5 reasons why it is unfair to compare Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli

#4 The two are completely different types of characters

Both Virat and Sachin have a lot of things in common. They both are national heroes, representing their country on the global level and inspiring a lot of other youngsters. The two are responsible for guiding the Indian Cricket Team to various victories. But their ways of going about the business are completely different.

It is a well known fact that Virat Kohli bats with his heart on his sleeve. He is not shy in letting the entire world, including the opposition, know how he is feeling between the sticks. On the other hand Sachin Tendulkar is a completely different type of cricketer. Throughout his career he let his bat do all the talking and he hardly showed any emotions.

There is nothing wrong with any of the two styles. What works for Sachin may not work for Kohli and vice-versa. Infact, this nature of Virat Kohli has allowed him to be a better captain than the Little Master. His willingness to be involved in the game at every point is the reason he is one of the most successful captains in World Cricket.

It is safe enough to say that the two gems of the Indian Cricket are two completely different personalities on the field. And comparisons between two contrasting people can't be done the right way.
