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

#5 Virat himself considers Sachin as his role model

Reacting to the comparisons, Virat Kohli has often ridiculed all the comparisons saying that Sachin is the main reason he started playing the game. For him Sachin Tendulkar was an inspiration, like many other youngsters throughout the country. He considers Sachin as the absolute best and has a lot of respect for the Master Blaster. He has often said that Sachin is unparalleled and can not be compared to anyone.

Well, this may look like a completely invalid point in this discussion. But actually it isn't. Virat Kohli is without any doubt one of the best batsmen of all time and his records show the same. He is actually carrying forward the legacy of his role model, Sachin Tendulkar.

When we look at two greats from different times, we can't stop ourselves from making the comparisons. But in this case we might think of make an exception based on all these reasons.
