It will take a lot for Kohli to come in comparison with Tendulkar: Yuvraj Singh

Veteran left-hander Yuvraj Singh states India Test captain it would be unfair to compare Virat Kohli with batting great Sachin Tendulkar as he feels that it will take a lot more hard work from the batting ace to match the Tendulkar’s legacy.

Yuvraj said Kohli and AB de Villiers “were the best of this generation” but to match Tendulkar’s 100 international centuries is still a long way to go.

“I think 100 centuries is really far away to think. Tendulkar was a great player and great ambassador of India and it is going to take a lot (of hard work) for Virat Kohli to come in comparison with that,” Yuvraj said when asked if Kohli would be able to reach Tendulkar’s milestone of 100 international tons.

“Virat (Kohli) is in great form. He is the best batsman of this generation along with AB de Villiers. So, I hope one day he becomes a great player for India,” Yuvi added.

Yuvraj’s SRH skipper David Warner also has similar opinions for the Indian Test captain, who is now leading IPL team Royal Challengers Bangalore.

“Virat is a great competitor but can’t compare anyone with Sachin. Virat will leave a legacy when he is done playing cricket,” said Warner.

Yuvraj, who is yet to feature in the ongoing Indian Premier League for his new franchise Sunrisers Hyderabad because of an ankle injury, is fit to take the field against Gujarat Lions at Hyderabad on Friday.
