Previous India cricketer Gautam Gambhir was available in the telecaster’s studio as Virat Kohli scored up his 45th ODI ton in the first day match against Sri Lanka in Guwahati on Tuesday. Kohli’s super show with the bat saw him procure a lot of praises via online entertainment. All the while, Kohli additionally proceeded to match the unbelievable Sachin Tendulkar’s record of scoring the most ‘home hundreds’ in ODIs. As examinations among Kohli and Tendulkar emitted among fans and specialists, Gambhir made light of it, proposing the ‘rules have transformed’ from when Sachin used to play.
Gambhir stayed firm while expressing no to the possibility of correlation between players in various periods. The previous India opening hitter referred to handling limitations and the accessibility of a second new ball as a portion of the ‘decide changes’ that have worked in the blessing of players in the ongoing period.
“There’s no need to focus on the record genuinely. Virat Kohli will proceed to get a lot a greater number of hundreds of years than Sachin Tendulkar in the 50-over design. It’s obvious, the standards have changed, ” Gambhir said on Star Sports.
You shouldn’t look at times. It’s a little unreasonable to look at periods too where there was one new ball when contrasted with now when there are 2 new balls with five defenders inside. However, indeed, he has been an expert in this configuration and he has shown it over such an extensive stretch of time,” he added.
Sanjay Manjrekar, who was likewise on the Star Sports board for the match, said that he has almost certainly that Kohli will proceed to overwhelm Tendulkar in the rundown of most ODI hundreds.
He (Kohli) isn’t an opener so in each 50-overs game, he isn’t going there from ball number 1 and you are taking a gander at the entire innings to get 100. He has batted at 3 the majority of the times so that is something you must consider. I have presumably that he will surpass Tendulkar in one-day hundreds. Well, it’s only four hundreds to rise to Tendulkar. It might occur in 18 months. It’s a 50-over World Cup year so I accept it could work out,” he said.
Kohli as of now has 45 hundreds in global cricket with regards to the 50-over design. Tendulkar, then again, has 49 tons in ODIs.
