Kohli vs Sachin: Greatest Batsman Ever?

Sachin played 1992-2011 all world cups, he crossed 400 mark in 3 of the world cups, and other two cups he did not absolutely fail he just did not exceed expectations. Check the stats in comparison to Kohli, normal average and strike rate. In world cups Sachin did 1.27X (56.95 average to 44.83) of his own average and punched above his natural average, and exceeded many other players, while Kohli averaged almost the same (59 in both) as his normal cricket in eras of batting friendliness. If you compare the times both played, the discussion is next level. Performing in every WC is not a joke and doing it from 6 cups is absolute beast. He ended the last WC scoring 2nd highest runs. Comparing eras was already discussed by few others. In ODIs there is atleast a comparison but for Tests, Sachin is far far ahead in terms of technique, and never averaged below 40 anywhere around the world.

Sachin is way ahead of his time, think of his centuries in SENA countries by 22. He scored in perth and SCG by age of 19 who dares to do that. Started with no helmet era and ended with batting friendly era.

When ever you want to compare a great cricketer people always pick Sachin. He is the only benchmark in last 30 years starting from 1995. No one compares Kohli vs Pointing or Lara or Kallis etc. Pick any modern great or old greats the main comparison even for haters of Sachin is their best favourite player vs Sachin.

Sachin always true GOAT, even Virat agreed the same. Every team had 2-3 legendary bowlers at that time who were extremely consistent. Take any format, especially longer format of Tests is the toughest, he had average of 40+ across every team, but not Kohli. Virat is great in ODI supported well by other teammates with less pressure. When Sachin started playing, Kapil Dev and other old legends retired, no better batsman other than M Azharuddin, then its all about fixing tale of India. The he started getting support from Viru, Dada, Dravid, Kumble, Srinath and later from Yuvi, DHoni etc. Look at bowlers like Wasim, Waqar, Akhtar, Saqlain, Mcgrath, Lee, Warne, Murali, Vaas, Pollock, Donald, Ntini, Oram, Tuffey, vettori, West indies legends, English legends etc.

Kohli’s “[🤡 harassment 🤓] master” myth is built on flat decks, DRS bailouts, and bowlers softer than his man-bun era hair; Sachin carried a [🤓 harassment 🤓] Indian team through two decades of pure [🤖 harassment 🐵] fortitude, got worshipped as God without ever begging for it, and retired with dignity instead of milking every last drop of relevance like a desperate [😜 harassment 😜] has-been.
