Cricket Twitter debates over greatest of all time
The debate has been sparked among Cricket Twitter regarding the comparison among the top players for Greatest of All Time cricketer from India. In the contention, is the batsmen Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli.
Sachin has been a superior cricketer, and one of the very best to have played cricket. It’s not easy to compare Kohli with him, Sachin has faced the greatest bowlers of the game like Wasim, Waqar, Warne, Muralitharan, Ntini, Gillespie and atleast a dozen more. The comparison won’t stop any easily, but Sachin has been a absolute star, having played for 24 long years, he has had a terrific career with 100 centuries, which is a massive record and would not likely be beaten anytime soon.
On the other hand, Virat Kohli has been an inspiration to the young players since the last decade due to his on-field performances and transformational change in the fitness regime of the national team. With 50+ averages across all the formats, he is well on line for the greatest of all time cricketer from India.
