IND vs SL: Gautam Gambhir furious over Virat Kohli's comparison with Sachin Tendulkar, read to know more...

Virat Kohli vs Sachin Tendulkar: Sanjay Manjrekar, another panelist on the show aired on Star Sports, said that he does not doubt that Virat Kohli will go past Sachin Tendulkar in scoring hundreds in ODIs.

Virat Kohli: Former Indian cricket team captain Virat Kohli celebrates after scoring a century in the 1st ODI against Sri Lanka in Guwahati on January 10, 2023.
After Virat Kohli scored his 45th ODI century, veteran critics are again drawing comparisons between him and the great Sachin Tendulkar. However, Gautam Gambhir does not agree with this at all. At the same time, former cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar believes that very soon Virat Kohli will break Sachin Tendulkar's record of 49 centuries scored in ODI cricket.

Former India cricketer Gautam Gambhir says that Kohli will score many more hundreds in Day Internationals (ODIs) than Sachin Tendulkar. Gautam Gambhir said in a cricket show aired on Star Sports, 'To be honest, it is not a matter of record. Virat Kohli is going to score many more hundreds than Sachin Tendulkar in the 50-over format. See, the rules have changed.

You guys shouldn't make comparisons between eras: Gautam Gambhir
On the comparison between Sachin and Virat, Gambhir said, 'You should not compare eras. It is also not fair to compare those eras where there was one new ball as compared to now when there are two new balls with five fielders. But yes, he has been a master in this format. He has also shown it by doing this for so long.

Another panelist on the show was Sanjay Manjrekar. Sanjay Manjrekar insisted, “Kohli is not an opener, so he does not bat from the first ball in every 50-over match. You have to look at all 100 innings to get a good idea. He (Virat Kohli) has mostly batted at number 3, so you have to keep that in mind as well.

Sanjay Manjrekar continued his point and said, 'I do not doubt that he will go ahead of Tendulkar in scoring a century in ODIs. I mean. Kohli needs just four hundred to equal Tendulkar. It can be in a year or 6 months. This year is the 50-over World Cup (ODI World Cup), so I believe it can happen.
