News DeskBy News Desk05/11/2022Updated:08/02/2023No Comments3 Mins Read

Two icons of the modern game of cricket, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma need no introduction. Both of them emerged to the Indian cricket from their U19 heroics. Rohit Sharma came early into the Indian cricket team than Kohli and in 2007 he won the ICC World T20 under MS Dhoni. Kohli won the U19 world cup for India in 2008 as captain, which earned him a place in the senior team later that year. Kohli also won the ODI world cup with India in 2011, something Rohit Sharma missed out. Since then it has been a privilege to see both of them playing for India and doing great things with the bat. Let’s look at the comparison.
