    Who is a better batsman – Sachin Tendulkar or Virat Kohli, has been the longest-standing debate in cricket history. Sachin Tendulkar has been hailed as the ‘God of Cricket’ by fans while Virat Kohli is considered a ‘modern-era great’.

    However, Kohli, on Monday, made an ‘embarrassing’ revelation on being compared with Sachin all his career.

    Speaking to Robin Uthappa in an interview on Jio Cinema, Kohli said:

    “I say this to people all the time that I had talent but the most complete or wasn’t someone who you make you go like ‘oh my god, that’s unbelievable’. I was good and was able to do little bit with my talent, but I know I wasn’t the most gifted guy around in terms of taking things by storm or making things happen. I was determined from a very young age, but I have no issues in admitting that I never ever in my wildest dream did I think sitting here at 34 in this situation.”

    Kohli then added that comparison with Sachin has always made him feel “embarrassed”.

    I feel embarrassed when I am compared to Sachin though I get where these people are coming from with all those statistics and stuff. But these stats tell you a different story. The impact a player leaves on you as a child growing up is very different. just laugh it off every time. These people have no idea about the game,” he said.

    “Sachin Tendulkar always has been emotion for me, if you speak to anyone, they look at him as their own because everyone has faith and trust in him, he was the source of inspiration and comfort, when he scored runs, life was good,” Kohli added. “Nobody should be compared with Sachin and Viv Richards because they revolutionised the game in their era and the belief people had in them was rare, it rare to have that belief in one player.”
