5 similarities between Virat Kohli and Sachin Tendulkar

Excelling at the No. 4 position in Tests

Sachin and Virat enjoy batting at No. 4 in Tests

Even though Sachin Tendulkar has batted at other positions in Test matches, he did make a career out of making runs at the No. 4 position in the batting order for India. Sachin has scored more than 13,000 of his Test runs at the number and averages 54-plus.

It is still early years in Virat Kohli's Test career; however, he has already shown an affinity towards the No. 4 position in the past couple of years. He has scored 1630 runs batting at No. 4 and holds an impressive average of more than 46.

Although it looked impossible at one point to fill Tendulkar's shoes as India's regular No. 4 in Test matches, Kohli has surely raised great hopes of taking over the mantle.
