“Virat Kohli is better than Sachin Tendulkar in ODIs” : Australian opener Usman Khawaja

Australia’s opening batsman, Usman Khawaja, has recently offered his perspective on the comparisons drawn between the legendary Indian cricketers, Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli. Khawaja is of the opinion that Kohli surpasses Tendulkar as a superior batsman in the context of 50-over cricket. His viewpoint revolves around Kohli’s imminent achievement of becoming the record holder for the most centuries in One Day Internationals (ODIs).

At the age of 36, Khawaja underscored the challenges associated with achieving what Kohli has accomplished in his illustrious career, indicating that emulating Kohli’s success is a formidable task for any contemporary player. This insights of Khawaja was shared in a video posted by Fox Cricket on YouTube.

Usman Khawaja said “I am going to say Virat Kohli is better than Sachin Tendulkar in ODIs. If you look at the stats, he has almost taken over how many hundreds he (Tendulkar) has got, and he has played so many more less games. Sachin was the benchmark for when I grew up, but what Kohli is doing right now—no one has ever done that in the game.”
