5 similarities between Virat Kohli and Sachin Tendulkar

Tendulkar and Kohli were quick to get noticed in their early days

Mainstays of the Indian batting

India have depended heavily on these two players

Almost throughout the duration of his legendary career, Sachin Tendulkar was the mainstay of the Indian batting line-up. India had some good batsmen in the team when he came in and continued to have even greater batsmen as Tendulkar's career progressed. However, despite this, he remained the man opposition teams feared most.

Virat Kohli appears to have assumed a similar role in the current Indian setup. Even as the batting order boasts of a number of good players, Kohli is the one whom teams want to dismiss as early as possible.

And just like the team often capitulated after Sachin's dismissal back then, Virat Kohli's wicket also sends shivers into the rest of the Indian batting on quite a few occasions.
