Indian Captain Virat Kohli created history by becoming the first batsman to score four double centuries in four consecutive Test series. The whole world was in an awe of this batting maestro and appreciated every ounce of beauty displayed by Kohli. The God Of Cricket, Sachin Tendulkar too didn’t miss out on appreciating the new master.
Sachin and Kohli have a lot of things in common; a knack of breaking records being one of them. They both even bat with the same brand name on their bats. Apart from that, their batting styles too match each other. Just like Sachin, Kohli too middles the ball very well. Next up, they both have pulled off wonders batting at number 4. The ease at which Kohli drives the ball is enough to give a cricket fanatic a reminder of the little maestro, Sachin Tendulkar.
For a batsman, there can be no greater praise than being compared to Sachin Tendulkar. If the praise comes from Sachin himself, there is simply nothing better than that. As the whole world stood applausing the Indian Captain for his recent feat where he left greats like Sir Don Bradman and Rahul Dravid behind, Sachin Tendulkar too came up to applause Kohli.
Sachin tweeted this special message for Virat Kohli and appreciated the ‘Sweet Spot’ on Kohli’s bat that explained Kohli’s excellence.

Sachin too used to have that patch in the middle of his bat which proved of the exquisite timings both these batting legends exhibit. The sweet spot must have reminded Sachin of his own days and thus the praise came with a blessing for Kohli too. Have a look at the similarity in both the images;

Yes there can be no second Sachin Tendulkar but there can surely be a first Virat Kohli who can show us glimpses of the batting legend we all loved so much. We hope Kohli’s form continues to dismantle the opponents. Do let us know what you think about the striking similarities between these two maestros in our comments section below.
