"Sachin Tendulkar always has been emotion for me” - Virat Kohli
RCB shared the images with a caption: “59679 international runs, 175 centuries, and a million
memories in one frame! #PlayBold #ನಮ್ಮRCB #IPL2023 | @sachin_rt @imVkohli.” Kohli has always been compared with Sachin Tendulkar during his career so far. Recently, in an interaction on Jio Cinema with Robin Uthappa, Kohli claimed that the comparison with Tendulkar has always embarrassed him.
Kohli said: “I feel embarrassed when I am compared to Sachin though I get where these people are coming from with all those statistics and stuff. But these stats tell you a different story. The impact a player leaves on you as a child growing up is very different. just laugh it off every time. These people have no idea about the game.”
"Sachin Tendulkar always has been emotion for me, if you speak to anyone, they look at him as their own because everyone has faith and trust in him, he was the source of inspiration and comfort, when he scored runs, life was good. Nobody should be compared with Sachin and Viv Richards because they revolutionised the game in their era and the belief people had in them was rare, it rare to have that belief in one player,” the former RCB skipper added.
