Former Pakistan cricketer Wasim Akram felt it is unfair to compare Virat Kohli with Sachin Tendulkar. He has hailed  India skipper Virat Kohli is a modern-day great. However, he feels  Kohli can’t break ”many records” that are held by the master blaster.

Akram spoke with former India opener Aakash Chopra, on his YouTube show ”AakashVani”. He said,  “I’m a straight shooter; I say what I feel. I can’t compare them both but I think, Virat Kohli will go places and he will break so many records. Can he break Sachin”s record? I doubt it. He has far too many records. He”s getting there but there”s still time.”

Wasim Akram termed Virat Kohli as a great player. HE goes on to say that Sachin and Kohli are very different as cricketers from each other. Explaining his statement, Wasim said that while Kohli is aggressive, Tendulkar is calm.

“He (Virat) is a modern great. Compared to Sachin, two different players altogether,” said Akram who has had many memorable duels with the Little Master and has watched Kohli grow as a batsman from close. He’s (Kohli) very aggressive, as a person, as a batsman — positive aggression. Sachin was calm and yet aggressive; different body language. So as a bowler you read that as well,” Akram said.

“Sachin knew that if I would try and sledge him, he would get even more determined. This is my take and I might be wrong. If I am to sledge Kohli, he will lose his temper. So, when a batsman gets angry, perhaps he will attack you and that is when you have the maximum chances of getting him out,” he added.
