Two cricket players, Virat Kohli and Sachin Tendulkar, have left indelible marks on the game and will go down as legends. Although they played at separate times, these two cricket greats have left an everlasting impression on the game.
Virender Sehwag Wants Virat Kohli To Be Celebrated Just Like Sachin Tendulkar After World Cup 2023:
Two Legends of Cricket in Their Own Right
Cricket stars like Virat Kohli and Sachin Tendulkar have reached legendary status. Throughout their incredible careers, they have broken many records and performed incredible feats. To appreciate why they are so deserving of praise, we must go into their cricketing histories.
Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar
The name Sachin Tendulkar, or the “Master Blaster,” is recognised and revered by cricket fans all around the globe. His impressive career lasted for 24 years, during which he set several benchmarks. In both Test matches and One Day Internationals (ODIs), Tendulkar has scored the most runs ever.
Virat Kohli, the Modern Master
Virat Kohli is a towering figure in modern cricket, and rightfully so. He has won over fans with his aggressive but graceful batting style, helping India to a string of victories. Kohli’s achievements in cricket are unprecedented; he is the quickest player to amass 10,000 runs in either Test or One-Day International competition.
A Remarkable Tie to the World Cup
During India’s successful 2011 World Cup campaign, the cricketing world saw a touching event. Virat Kohli, then only a youngster, onto the pitch beside the great Sachin Tendulkar. After 28 long years, India finally won the World Cup in this historic event, and Virat Kohli was a major factor in that success.
The spirit of that wonderful day was captured in a single photograph. Following their victory against Sri Lanka in the final, an ecstatic Kohli hoisted Tendulkar over his shoulders as a symbolic gesture of the passing of the baton from one cricketing talent to the next.
The 2023 Dream of Virender Sehwag
Former India opener and key member of the 2011 World Cup winning team Virender Sehwag recently shared a deep wish. Should India win the 2023 World Cup, he’d want to see Virat Kohli honoured in the same way as Sachin Tendulkar.
“Cheeku (Kohli) didn’t score a single century in the 2019 World Cup, this year I hope he scores many hundreds and ends up as the leading run-scorer in the tournament. Then, I want him to be carried on the shoulders and get a round of the ground,” he was quoted as saying by Cricbuzz.
The hopes and dreams of millions of cricket fans across the globe are reflected in Sehwag’s statements. Kohli’s likeness to Tendulkar in terms of fan adulation is a tribute to the influence of both players on cricket.
Both Virat Kohli and Sachin Tendulkar have achieved legendary status in cricket. Fans all across the world are enamoured with them because of their accomplishments, records, and dedication to the game. Cricket fans can’t wait till the 2023 World Cup to watch Kohli’s exploits in person and, maybe, see history repeated with a joyful lap of honour.
Tendulkar’s legend continues to grow, while Virat Kohli seems certain to etch his name into cricket’s record books. As the undisputed future of Indian cricket, Kohli deserves the same acclaim as Sachin Tendulkar, and we can only hope that Sehwag’s desire comes true.
