Some of his records were touted to be unbreakable, till the time Virat Kohli didn’t rise. In the recent few years, Virat Kohli has been one of the best performers for India and has been breaking records.
When Satya Nadella was asked to pick the better batsman between Kohli and Sachin. He gave an epic response -
“This is like picking religions. I would say Sachin yesterday, Virat today,”.
