Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli - two of the most dominant players of their respective eras. The comparison between the two players is not new. The debate about who is better between the two is a matter of personal opinion and can be subjective.

Tendulkar is regarded as one of the greatest batters and holds several records to his name. He is the only player to have scored 100 international centuries, and has most runs in both ODIs and Tests.

Meanwhile, Kohli is regarded as the modern day genius, who is just 4 shy of breaking Tendulkar's record of most centuries in ODI cricket.

Regarding this hot topic, Australian skipper Pat Cummins was also quizzed and he couldn't dodge the bullet.

 During a teaser episode of Prime Video's The Test, Usman Khawaja asked Cummins to choose between Kohli and Tendulkar.

Cummins first joked, saying: "Of what? Cooking?"

However, he went onto pick Kohli and stated that he has only played once against Tendulkar many years ago.

"I think I have played Sachin only once in a T20 years ago. So I will say Virat," said Cummins.

Cummins is the number one ranked Test bowler, and the world will witness the battle between Kohli and Cummins when the Australian side arrives in India for the Border-Gavaskar series in February.
