Two great heroes at the peak, Virat Kohli equaled another big record of his guru Sachin against New Zealand

News India Live, Digital Desk: There is an old saying for cricket lovers, “Sachin Tendulkar’s record can be broken either by God or by Virat Kohli.” A similar scene was seen in the recent ODI match played against New Zealand. The field has changed, the opposing bowlers have changed, but Kohli’s passion to score runs is still the same as it was years ago. The biggest ‘surveer’ against New Zealand is a team which has always been a tough challenge for the Indian players. In front of their tight bowling and excellent fielding, scoring runs is like chewing iron grams. But amid this challenge, Virat Kohli has equaled the great record of Sachin Tendulkar, which is the dream of any cricketer to achieve. Yes, now both Virat and Sachin are tied in the list of Indian players who have scored the most runs in ODI matches against New Zealand. This is not just a statistic, but an echo of the continuity and class of two generations. This journey was not so easy. Sachin played many memorable innings against the Kiwi team in his long career. Fans still remember his trademark ‘Straight Drive’. At the same time, Virat won this record with his fitness and amazing ability to understand the game. While there was grace in Sachin’s batting, there is an amazing ‘aggression’ and confidence in Virat’s batting. A message for the next generation. The surprising thing is that the speed with which Virat is chasing Sachin’s records, it is clear that he has come to give a new color to the record book. This is a lesson for today’s youth that records are not made in just one day; for this, credit and hard work have to be put in over years. Every run scored by Kohli’s bat shows that he still has the same hunger as he had during his first match in 2008. When Virat scored that run which brought him on par with Sachin, the entire stadium stood on their seats. This was an honor for a legend who has given cricket a new reason to live again. Now the next step will be to surpass Sachin, and with the form Virat is in, fans know that day is not far away. Overall, this is a proud moment for Indian cricket. One of our generations saw God in the form of Sachin and the other generation saw a King in the form of Kohli.
