People seem to forget that it was raina whose fast scoring made this possible. virat actually slowed down to complete his century, and although we won this time, that 20- 30 run could have made a big difference some other time, but century is all that matters nowdays and then they wonder why the players are selfish.
kohli is not the new sachin...like i said many time before he is better than sachin...

Sunil, Let me give you some real knowledge now.
Glenn McGrath, Shane Warne, Bret Lee, Jason Gillespie, Allan Donald, Shaun Pollock, Fannie De Villiers, Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis, Abdul Qadir, Shoaib Akhtar, Saqlain Mushtaq, Aquib Javed, Curtly Ambrose, Courtney Walsh, Muralitharan, Vaas are just the few world class bowlers whom Sachin had survived and lasted for 21 years.
Your turn to name at least 5 world class bowlers against whom Virat Kohli survived.
Next time have some common sense before comparing anyone with Sachin. Players like Sachin are born once in 100 years.

Absolutely right Sunil. Sachin is a class act. The bowlers he faced were top class as compared to today.
Today i think Del Stayne & Jimmy Anderson are good bowlers.
And we all saw how Kohli failed miserable in Eng against Jimmy in test & ODI's.
Nothing to take away from Kohli, no doubt he is good, but Tendulkar is special class.

you are saying this after sachin has retired...i will also tell you the world class bowlers names after kohli has retired....
btw by your logic all new generation players are useless...
also according to your logic batsmen like amla abdevelliers are not worthy or good....tell me which world class bowlers they have faced?

Sunil, I seriously doubt whether you will still have some names to fill the list.
The game has become so very batsmen centric specially since the onset of the IPL. Bowlers are slaughtered worldwide.
Relish the sight of Steyn, Morkel and Johnson because world class bowlers will soon be history.
Btw I never mentioned Amla and AB Devilliers in my comment. My point here is Sachin is the best because he was really tested during his times by the best in the game.

On the board, Kohli might get more runs than Sachin. However the rules of the game has changed during Sachin's era and now. Now it is more of batsmen game and also less attacking bowlers. No way it reduces the accomplishments of Virat Kohli. He is really a good player ( batting and fielding ).
