There was a time when Sachin Tendulkar was called the God of Cricket. The Little Master is still hailed as the God of Cricket by many cricket lovers all around the globe. However, Sachin Tendulkar has retired from international cricket and it is a million dollar question that who is the current God of Cricket? Is Virat Kohli the new God of Cricket or Rohit Sharma has earned that place? Does the rising star of India Suryakumar Yadav deserves to be called the God of Cricket or Babar Azam should be referred to as the God of Cricket? There are so many questions and we can tell you with confidence that there is no single God of Cricket in today’s era. Each format has its own God in cricket right now and we have listed the current Gods of cricket that are breaking records after records and making their team win in particular formats of cricket.
Virat Kohli – God of Cricket in ODIs
Virat Kohli has been the God of Cricket in ODIs for quite a few years now. He is an unparalleled force when it comes to ODIs. Even when he was supposedly out of form he was notching up half centuries regularly. Kohli has already got 46 centuries under his belt in the One Day Internationals. Soon, he will go past Sachin Tendulkar’s record of 49 centuries in this format. He has won India countless matches and with the ODI World Cup coming up this year, you can expect him to shine even brighter than before. Thus, Virat Kohli is the current God of Cricket in ODIs.
R Ashwin- God of Cricket in Test
Ravichandran Ashwin is a mastermind who does not just play his opponents on field but also off the field. The off spinner is arguably the greatest off spinner that the world has ever seen in Test cricket. He is also quite handy with bat with 5 centuries to his name in the longest format of the game. Ashwin is racing towards 500 wickets in Test cricket and has all the capabilities of surpassing Anil Kumble’s tally of 619 wickets. At the moment, there is no one close to the level of Ashwin. He is a match winner who deserves to be recognised as God of Cricket in Test cricket.
Suryakumar Yadav- God of Cricket in T20Is
Suryakumar Yadav is currently the number 1 ranked batter in T20 Internationals. After just 48 matches in T20Is he stands at the pinnacle of this format. SKY has a strike rate of more than 175 in T20Is with 3 centuries to his name. He has been phenomenal for India in the shortest format of the game. His inventiveness and daring approach makes him the current God of Cricket in T20Is.
