Pakistan Pacer named the Greatest India Batter, and it’s not Sachin Tendulkar or Virat Kohli
There is no doubt that both Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli are arguably two of the greatest batters of all time. Nearly every top-batting record is held by the two Indian greats. In Test cricket, Tendulkar holds the record for scoring the most number of centuries, while Kohli recently surpassed him to become the batter with the most number of tons in ODIs. Tendulkar is also the leading scorer in Tests and ODIs, while Kohli holds the same record in the shortest format of the game.
However, out-of-favor pacer Junaid Khan of Pakistan has labelled Rohit Sharma as the greatest Indian batter.
When asked to choose either Tendulkar or Kohli as the greatest Indian batter, Junaid instead went for the current Indian team captain, Rohit.
Junaid said, "I am going to say Rohit Sharma when asked who's the better batter between Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli. He has all kinds of shots in his arsenal. Virat is a great player. But the way Sachin batted in a different era, he would have scored more than 100 centuries in today's time. Everybody calls Rohit 'The Hitman' because of his incredible 264. He has also scored multiple double hundreds (in ODIs). This is rare because he has done it more than once. He has also hit the most number of sixes.”
