While the football world debates over Messi and Ronaldo, Indian cricket fans are divided when it comes to Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli. The two batsmen have many records to their names and are considered the be the greatest in the world of cricket.
However, when asked to chose between Tendulkar and Kohli, the question could put one in a fix and the same happed with former India cricketer Wasim Jaffer.
The Ranji Trophy batsman was asked the question during a question and answer session on social media after he put up a status asking fans to use #AskWasim for queries related to on and off the field.
Jaffar came up with a hilarious reply which left everyone in splits. He used a meme from a popular Bollywood flick to answer a fan’s question and shared a meme with a quote: “Dange karwaenge kya aap (Do you want to cause riots)?”
He further wrote: “On a serious note, different eras. Both are greats in different eras.”
While Tendulkar is regarded as one of the greatest batsmen in the history of the game, Kohli is often regarded as a modern-day version of the Master Blaster.
Tendulkar remains the highest run-getter in both Tests and ODIs and also holds the unique record of scoring a combined 100 international centuries. As for Kohli, the number one ODI batsman of the world has broken multiple records set by Tendulkar and he still has a lot more years left to give to the game.
Jaffar meanwhile was critical of Team India’s overseas Test record and stated Virat Kohli and Co would really become the number the side if they manage to beat top teams in their own backyards.
The statement came after India's poor performance against New Zealand in the ODI and Test series. “I myself was very disappointed by the NZ tour. India had won the T20Is so well 5-0 but then they lost ODIs and Tests one-sided,” Jaffer was quoted as saying by India Today.
“The team is so strong in each department and that is why I was more disappointed. “We shouldn’t be beaten like this when you are the no. 1 in the world and you plan to stay on the top and dominate like AUS and WI. But those teams are so known only because they dominated outside of home,” he added.“India too has these capabilities but we are not being able to do that the way we should. We won a historic series in AUS but none in SA, ENG, and NZ,” Jaffer said.
“A team is judged as great only if we dominate in these places. Everyone knows that beating India in India is very difficult - be it any team. But only if we win Test series in these places, we would be convinced that this really is the world no.1 team.”
