Sachin Tendulkar is placed right atop in Indian cricket and is right up there on the pedestal with God, amongst his countrymen. No sooner did a boy who idolized him started to go past few of his records the comparison makers went haywire.

Sachin Tendulkar once again tops the list of most runs scored by a player in a winning cause. He has scored 11157 (60.55% of his total runs) runs at an astonishing average of 56.63. His 33 centuries out of 49 came in winning cause which explains why he is celebrated so much around the world.

Virat Kohli, no doubt, is the best batsman on the planet when it comes to ODIs and he has been on run manufacturing spree since last five years. He has scored 39 centuries in his career so far and 32 have come in winning the cause. He has become a "run-chase wizard" by scoring 24 centuries while chasing and out of which India have won 20 matches. It goes to show how much Kohli has an impact on the Indian batting order.

If Virat surpasses the 11157 runs mark then it would definitely make him the greatest match winner and batsman of all time.
