Sachin's landmarks impossible to achieve: Kohli
After yet another succesful chase on Sunday, Indian captain Virat Kohliequalled former cricketer Sachin Tendulkar's 17 centuries while chasing. But while Tendulkar took 232 innings to achieve it, Kohli has done it in just 96 essays. Kohli's match-winning 122 on Sunday during the first ODI against England was his 27th overall.
Comparisons with the great Tendulkar crop up every now and then but Kohli made it clear that it will be very difficult to achieve the heady numbers of the 'Master Blaster'.
"I might not play that long (24 years). 200 Tests, 100 international centuries. Those are incredible numbers and will be impossible to achieve. But yes, I want to make a difference and always believe that I must leave the game on a better note," said Kohli.Kohli also added that one of the secrets of his stupendous success is "not having too many close people" in his life which adds hindrances such as "distractions" and "time management" on the path of glory.
