One of the most influential batters of the modern generation India's Virat Kohli has reiterated his admiration for his idol Sachin Tendulkar.

Ever since Kohli broke Tendulkar's record for most One-Day International (ODI) centuries during the recently concluded ICC Cricket World Cup 2023, the debate about the Delhi-born being better than the master blaster has been doing rounds.

In a video shared on YouTube by Kohli-owned One8 Commune, the former India captain could be heard declaring that Tendulkar will always remain on top, a remark that came after the host Rahul Subramanian said that the Royal Challengers Bangalore batter will be second best after the former Mumbai Indians player. 

Here's what Kohli said

"Sachin Tendulkar is my favourite cricketer in the world. He'll always be at the top for me". (00:58)

The video celebrated the launch of Kohli's One8 Commune restaurant in Bangalore, which is situated near Cubbon Park. One8 commune already has branches in Mumbai, Pune, Kolkata, and Delhi-NCR. 

Speaking of Kohli, the 35-year-old will be seen in action for India in the upcoming two-Test series in South Africa, having opted out of the white-ball leg, in order to spend time away from the game post a gruelling few months which includes Asia Cup 2023 and World Cup 2023. 

In 2023, Kohli has amassed 1,934 runs in 34 international matches across format for India, slamming eight centuries and nine fifties.
