India doesn't need an accumalator who scores 100s against namibia , kenya & bermuda in world cup matches but does not rise to the occassion in key world cup/icc trophy matches. 5 wcups & 4 icc trohies bear testimony to this c8lossal failure. Give us a Yuvaraj anyday
Re: Kohli will make more records and can be better than Tendulkar

yes. you need a yuvraj, dhoni, sachin, sehwag, dravid who fail to win even against bangladesh
One should not criticize Mrf. Virat in cricket, he is a very very good batsman, he is reading the faces of the balers well in advance and playing his strokes accordingly in all corners of the field. He never afraid any baler of any team now-a-days, because, he is slowly developing his confidence in the cricket, no doubt he is a good fielder too. He will be gem in the cricket and useful player for the Indian cricket team. Best of luck to him. Any how, one should not forget the captaincy of Shri Dhoni, he knows very well of the balers of the opponent side and hit the ball out of the fence accordingly. When he is leading the Indian cricket team, we have observed that lot of spirit and enthusiasm appears of the Indian Team in the field.
He's doing great but these constant comparisons with Sachin is just too much pressure. Its next to impossible to match Sachin's career performance in both Tests and ODI's. Everyone hits a bad patch. Kohli hasn't hit his yet. We'll see how he recovers when he does. Remember Michael Vaughn and Andrew Strauss and how they started their careers. There was a point where Ricky Ponting looked like he was going to race past Sachin in runs and centuries in tests. Look what happened. So lets cool down on the pressure on Kohli and let the guy play his game.
Undoubtedly Kohli is performing well, it's similar to what 4 yrs back people say about Sehwag, No one can match Tendulkar, Kohli would lose to himself only because of his anger & ego. "Tendulkar is only Tendulkar" there can not be another one in the process. Tendulkar would not only be remembered as an Batsman & his achievements but he would be remembered for his generosity, Humbleness & a man who knows how to carry the reputation & expectation of millions of Indians. "Tendulkar ke zazbe ko Salam"

i totally agree with you my dost.kohli is doing well but once bad patch comes it hits very badly.i pray it never happens in case of kohli but who knows.people will not remeber kohli for long if he beat all records because of his behaviour but they will remeber tendulkar because of this "Tendulkar would not only be remembered as an Batsman & his achievements but he would be remembered for his generosity, Humbleness & a man who knows how to carry the reputation & expectation of millions of Indians. "Tendulkar ke zazbe ko Salam""
Its impossible that anyone will overshadow Sachin's records in Tests & ODIs for the simple reason that nobody in present era is gonna last that long, i.e. 20 odd years.
Going by the alarming amount of cricket that is being played nowadays, the most a cricketer will last is 10 - 12 yrs, not more than that.
Virat is definitely a gr8 talent, I wish him all the luck. But i doubt he will last long, ultimately fatigue will take over.
If u see last 7-8 year,Kapil always jelious of sachin.No doubt Kohli is best batsman in world, why to compare him with sachin as era changed. Now no quality fast bowlers are there like in 90's (exception Steyn,Johnson).Also ODI rules changed and favoured to batsman now. Ealier 250 is nowdays 300 ...so dont compare, both are crown in indian cricket.
