“Both eras cannot be compared” – Shoaib Akhtar on Virat Kohli vs Sachin Tendulkar debate
Sachin Tendulkar versus Kohli superiority conversation is ongoing. In a fresh discussion, ex-Pakistan pacer Shoaib Akhtar chimed in with his perspective.
He lauded both hitters and stated that they cannot be compared because they played in different times in an interview with ANI.
“Back then, Sachin was playing with one ball, which would reverse swing against some of the best bowlers in the world. There was only one circle. Today, Sachin would have made a lot of runs. He is the greatest ever…Ricky Ponting, Brian Lara etc. Wasim Akram and Shane Warne too.”

Shoaib Akhtar Added:
“Virat would have been competitive (in our era). He could have faced difficulties but he would have scored the runs he has scored now. We would have faced a similar beating. But playing Wasim Akram is not easy. Virat is Virat. He is the greatest batsman of this era. Both eras cannot be compared. Hats off to him. I want him to get hundred centuries.”
Shoaib Akhtar
During the World Cup last year, Kohli became the first hitter to score fifty hundreds in ODIs. But Tendulkar is still the only cricket player with 100 tons for his country.
