“The one record no one can break is his (Sachin) 200 Test matches record. I don’t think anyone can break his record of playing 200 Test matches. I don’t think anybody can play more than 200 Test matches.” Sehwag added further.

“Kohli looks much more pleasing to the eyes in comparison with Smith”- Sehwag

Although at present times, Kohli is often compared to Australian astonishing batsman Steve Smith in terms of batting, especially in Test format. But according to Sehwag, the comparison is not appropriate as there is no doubt who is better.
