Virat Kohli is now at the fag end of his career, but since the time he started scoring runs consistently for India, there have been comparisons with Sachin Tendulkar. There are some people who consider Virat Kohli as a better ODI batter than Sachin Tendulkar, while others prefer to keep the Master Blaster above everyone.

Kohli Better Than Rohit, Sachin For Aakash Chopra

Now, in a conversation with CREX, Aakash Chopra has made the difficult choice of picking the best ODI batter. In a this-or-that game with CREX, Aakash Chopra was initially given the options of Adam Gilchrist and AB de Villiers. Chopra decided to go with ABD and also preferred the South African over Kumar Sangakkara.

Rohit Sharma was then added to the list, and Akash Chopra went with the current ODI captain against all other players until Virat Kohli was put ahead as his competitor. The final options were Virat Kohli and Sachin Tendulkar. It was a tough decision to make, and after a bit of a break, Aakash Chopra decided to go with Virat Kohli over Sachin, thus signifying that he is the best ODI batter ever.

Different Eras For Kohli And Sachin

Thus, Aakash Chopra is now included in the list who consider Virat Kohli as the best ODI batter in the world. The logic people give for preferring Virat Kohli over Sachin Tendulkar as the best ODI batter is that the King has done well in the run-chases over the years. 

The people who prefer Sachin Tendulkar speak about how the Master Blaster performed without a lot of support during the 90s. The people also talk about the better quality of bowling during the Sachin Tendulkar era, and so they consider him the best. Overall, Sachin Tendulkar scored 18426 runs at an average of 44.83, while Virat Kohli has 14181 runs at an average of 57.88.
