Who is the GOAT? Virat Kohli or Sachin Tendulkar?

# 4 Responsibility on his shoulders

There was a time when Sachin was the only saving grace

Before the emergence of the Fab 4 of Indian Cricket, Sachin used to be a pillar for the team. There was a relief in the opposition camp when Sachin got out. Not to say that others didn't perform but the bowling attack was not that good as it is today in India. So, he had to score more percentage of runs for his team than any other player.

Virat, on the other hand, is blessed with a solid bowling line-up which can run through the best of the sides and have some great batsmen.

# 5 All-rounder

He was more than a Batsman- An impact player

Sachin Tendulkar was more than handy with the ball. He had a magical legspinner on his day that would have made even Shane Warne proud. He could bowl off-spin, leg spin, or medium fast with ease taking 201 wickets in the process.

He was mainly used as a partnership breaker and a game changer in his initial playing days. But due to injuries, he shifted his only to batting while his bowling was limited. Virat Kohli doesn't bowl in any form of cricket except for few instances.

#6 Finishing Matches

There is no better player in run chases than this man

Though, both of them have scored runs heavily while chasing Kohli has finished the matches many times than Sachin. He always takes the game till the end like Dhoni.

Over the years, Kohli has mastered the art of run chasing and knows when to attack or defend or to cut loose. So this could very well go to Virat Kohli.

These two legends have many facets of the game which make them better over the other. But one can't argue based on this notion alone. We don't for sure know how they would have fared when they had played in each other's era.

It is safe to admit that both have inspired millions of people to take up the game. Even Kohli has said on multiple occasions that his role model was Sachin growing up.
