Former England batsman Kevin Pietersen ends Sachin Tendulkar vs Virat Kohli debate. Cricket fans often speculate who is the best player in cricket between Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli, batsmen from two different eras?

Pietersen recently found himself faced with a quick overs match where he had to choose the best player between two cricketers. The question and answer round started with a Kevin Pietersen vs. Jacques Kallis comparison and ended with the long-standing Sachin Tendulkar vs. Virat Kohli debate.

Kevin Peterson faces rapid fire

The former England cricketer took the lead in the first three sets of the fast-paced match. The former cricketer considers himself better than legends like former South Africa all-rounder Jacques Kallis, West Indies great Brian Lara and Australia’s legendary former captain Ricky Ponting. When former India batsman Rahul Dravid’s name came up in the conversation, Pietersen immediately bowed out of the game.

Your daily dose of cricket!

When Pietersen was compared to Rahul Dravid, he immediately put himself on the back seat. It took him a few seconds to announce his verdict, which was Rahul Dravid. Pietersen believes Dravid is better than him.

The rapid fire has only gotten more intense since then, with names like Kohli and Sachin Tendulkar yet to be mentioned. When it comes to Callis, Laura or Botting, Peterson doesn’t hesitate. But they face the real challenge of the ‘Kevin Pietersen vs Rahul Dravid’ question.

Who is better, Rahul Dravid or Virat Kohli?

Pietersen had to quickly remove Rahul Dravid from the match as the next name to be announced was Kohli. Peterson found it difficult to choose just one of these two legends. As per the rules, he could only choose one of the two batsmen. After some time, the former cricketer voted in favor of Kohli and left Dravid out of the discussion.

The last few comparisons have been really hard to face. The next few sets of matches relate to the ‘four’ of modern cricket, namely Kohli, Australia’s Steve Smith, England’s Joe Root and New Zealand’s Kane Williamson. Pietersen places Virat Kohli above Williamson, Root and Smith. He took his time when he had to decide the winner between Virat and Root. Finally, Virat made it to the final.

The last set of comparisons is with the ‘God of Cricket’ Sachin Tendulkar. Surprisingly, Kevin Peterson had an immediate answer. He was quick to mention Virat Kohli. This means, according to former England cricketer Kevin Pietersen, Virat Kohli is better than Sachin Tendulkar.

In the second week of January, Kohli surpassed Tendulkar’s record. Virat Kohli surpassed Sachin Tendulkar and became the fastest international player to reach 27,000 runs in just 594 innings. After retiring from Tests and T20Is, the Delhi-born batsman scored a huge number of runs for Team India.
