Can Virat Kohli Break All Records Of Sachin?

When Virat Kohli is on song, he is unstoppable. Kohli, like Sachin Tendulkar has a plethora of records to his name. With his sheer batting prowess and hunger for runs, the Indian run-machine is tipped to break at least a few of Tendulkar’s monumental records.

Former India cricketer and one of the best attacking batsmen ever to have played the game, Virender Sehwag feels Kohli is the best batsman of this generation at the moment and that the current Indian captain will break most of Sachin's records, barring one.

"At the moment, Virat (Kohli) is the best batsman. The way he is scoring centuries, the way he is scoring runs, he is the best. I am sure he will break most of Sachin Tendulkar’s records," Virender Sehwag told Timesofindia.com in an interview.

Kohli, who has smashed two back-to-back centuries in the recently-concluded One-Day International (ODI) series against the West Indies in the Caribbean islands, has 43 ODI centuries to his name already and needs just seven centuries more to break Tendulkar’s world record. Tendulkar scored 49 centuries in 463 ODIs (452 innings).

Tendulkar scored 18426 runs in his ODI career at an average of 44.83, while Kohli has an astonishing average of 60.31 in 239 ODIs (230 innings).

In Tests, Kohli is just about half-way through to Tendulkar’s centuries record. The Indian skipper has 25 centuries under his belt in 77 Tests (131 innings), while the Sachin scored 51 centuries in 200 Tests (329 innings).

"The one record no one can break is his (Sachin) 200 Test matches record. I don’t think anyone can break his record of playing 200 Test matches. I don’t think anybody can play more than 200 Test matches,” Sehwag said.

He Is The Run Machine If he wants to breaks all the records of Sachin, he needs to play quality cricket which he is doing right now. Not only as a batsman, he plays as a captain which is more glorious. Trust this guy and you will always end up at the bright side of the scoreboard.

At this moment, Virat Kohli is the best player in the world. He is a run machine by breaking all the records rapidly. Not only a batsman, but also he is a wonderful captain. Blaster Kohli will be brightest in the future.

Kohli is a good batsman and also a great leader. His standard way of playing cricket is also great. If he has to break all records of Sachin he should continue his performance as in the present. Wishing him ''All the Best'' and hope he continues playing with the same energy for the upcoming matches.

According to me Virat Kholi has a an ability to break the records of Sachin. But it lies only in his hands. If he try his level best he can break all the records of the great batsman sachin. He plays is role perfectly as a captain and bats man.We have to remember sometimes the Indian team has won only because of this marvellous and hard working man.To break the records of sachin he should belive himself first then he can achieve it. He can achieve it and he will achieve it !

Kohli is not only a great player but also a great leader . He seems to be playing tiredlessly and effortlessly on the field . He is one of the best player in today''s cricket era . Hence there is no doubt about the possibility that he can break records of Sachin Tendulkar

Virat Kohli is the best batsman in the world. He is the most confident player as well as captain in cricket. I think that he will be the player who will break most of the records of Sachin Tendulkar. Virat Kohli is an unstoppable run machine.

Roma Ramcoumar Bethel Mat Hr Sec School

Virat kohli is now regarded as the best player. I do accept that he is a young guy full of talents and making everyone look at him in awe but I think it''s kinda hard for him to break Sachin Tendulkar and MSD''s record. They are true legends of this decade. Once a legend always a legend .But personally I think that if he really wants to break their records and he works for it , he surely will break it. He is one amazing player.

Rohak Bora AUXILIUM HIGH

Sachin was the best player of his time. But now Virat is trending and he is a very good batsman indeed so it wont be a surprise if he breaks all of Master Blasters records. He can definitely pull it off.

Tanmay Mahadik D.A.V Public School, Thane

Yes!Virat kohli is capable of breaking all records of sachin. But to do this he must be really really fast because in coming 10 or 15 years his body will not give him enough togetherness.He is the run machine. He needs to play quality cricket how he''s playing now.

Vilina Wilson BGS National Public School

Yes , it maybe possible that Virat can break all the records Tendulkar has made as "Everything Is Possible" It also depends on how much hardwork Virat Kohli is putting in. But there are chances of him breaking all the records .

Nivedita Kaur KV, Indian Military Academy

Sachin Tendulkar has been one of the greatest batsman in the history of cricket. But Virat Kohli is the best batsman of this generation at the moment. He is consistent, hard-working and his work ethics are unparallel. He can surely break records of Sachin in future.
