Virat Kohli Cannot Break Sachin's One Record
Former
Indian player Virender Sehwag said Virat Kohli would break most but one of
Sachin Tendulkar's records. Now, Virat Kohli beats a lot, many think it's only
a matter of time before the Indian skipper breaks Tendulkar's records. At just
30 years old, Kohli is already one of the most decorated batsmen in the history
of the game.
Kohli
already has 43 ODI 100s and needs only seven centuries to break Tendulkar's
world record. Tendulkar scored 49 centuries in 463 ODI (452 innings). Tendulkar
scored 18426 points in his ODI career with an average of 44.83, while Kohli has
an astonishing average of 60.31 in 239 ODI (230 innings).
In
the tests, Kohli is about halfway through Tendulkar's century record. The
Indian skipper has 25 centuries to his credit in 77 tries (131 rounds), while
the Sachin has scored 51 centuries in 200 tries (329 rounds). Unsurprisingly,
Kohli was widely invited to break at least some of Tendulkar's monumental
records.
Virender
Sehwag also has the same feeling. The legendary opener believes Kohli is the
best batsmen of this generation now. He also said Kohli would break most of
Tendulkar's records at less than one. Virender Sehwag said Kohli would not be
able to break Tendulkar's world record over 200 events.
"Virat
(Kohli) is currently the best batsmen the way it scores for centuries, the way
it scores short, it is the best. I'm sure he'll beat most of Sachin Tendulkar's
records". "The record that no one can break is his record (Sachin) of
200 test matches. I don't think anyone can break their 200-match test record. I
don't think anyone can play more than 200 test matches".
India
is currently in the West Indies Vs India and is preparing for the next two-match Test
series. Sehwag supported the Kohli-led camp to win the series.
"The
West Indies team does not have quality players who can compete with this Indian
team. "I'm sure India will win the two-match test series 2-0," said Virender
Sehwag.
