Most Test Runs: The Unreachable Milestone

Sachin Tendulkar's 15,921 Test runs are a testament to his unparalleled consistency and longevity. With Virat Kohli currently at 8,848 runs, the gap appears insurmountable, making this record one of cricket's most enduring.

2/10

Century of Test Centuries: A Record Beyond Reach

Tendulkar’s 51 Test centuries remain a mountain too high for any current player. Kohli, with 29 Test tons, would need a career resurgence of epic proportions to come close.

3/10

The Marathon Man: 200 Test Appearances

Sachin's record of 200 Test matches is a testament to his durability. Kohli, with 113 Tests under his belt, would need to play for several more years at the highest level, a challenge that seems unlikely given today’s cricketing schedule.

4/10

ODI Runs King: 18,426 Reasons to Bow Down

Tendulkar’s 18,426 ODI runs remain the gold standard. Despite Kohli’s remarkable tally of 12,311, the gap of over 6,000 runs highlights the sheer magnitude of Sachin's achievement.

5/10

Most ODI Fifties: Consistency Personified

With 96 ODI half-centuries, Tendulkar showcased unmatched consistency. Kohli, with 63 fifties, has an impressive record, but bridging the gap seems nearly impossible, given the limited number of ODIs he has left.

6/10

Six World Cup Appearances: A Longevity Feat

Sachin played in six World Cups, an achievement that reflects both his skill and longevity. Kohli, who has appeared in four, is unlikely to surpass this record as he nears the twilight of his career.

7/10

Most Man of the Match Awards in ODIs

Tendulkar’s 62 Man of the Match awards in ODIs reflect his game-changing ability. Kohli, with 37 awards, may find it challenging to reach this milestone, given the intense competition and fewer matches.

8/10

Most ODI Hundreds: A Herculean Task

While Kohli is closing in on Tendulkar’s 49 ODI centuries, the task remains daunting. With 46 hundreds, Kohli needs to maintain extraordinary form to surpass this record.

9/10

100 International Centuries: The Pinnacle of Batting

Sachin’s 100 international centuries are an iconic cricketing record. Kohli’s current tally of 75 centuries across formats, though exceptional, still leaves him a long way from reaching this monumental milestone.

10/10

Most Capped Indian Player in International Cricket

With 664 international appearances, Tendulkar’s record reflects his unparalleled contribution to Indian cricket. Kohli, who has played in 462 matches, would require several more years at the peak of his powers to come close, a feat that seems increasingly improbable.
