Who is the god of cricket after sachin tendulkar
Cricket, namely an international showcase of sportsmanship and competition, addictive in its fervor and passion-driven by world-class players who define the craft. Among them, Sachin Tendulkar, undeniably a God of Cricket to his global following – has left shoes too big to fill upon his retirement. But when one star fades, another rises; which exhibits Virat Kohli as the viable successor to Tendulkar’s legacy.
The Rise of a New Era
With the setting of Sachin’s era, Indian cricket witnessed a vacuum that needed filling. A regular source of inspiration for budding cricketers was suddenly missing. It was then that rising cricket sensation Virat Kohli burst onto the scene.
Making his debut in 2008 against Sri Lanka, Kohli had heralded a new age of Indian cricket with fierce determination and an aggressive gameplay style rarely seen before. What sets him apart from his contemporaries is not just raw talent or class but also his mental strength, discipline towards fitness, courage under pressure during chase, aggression on field while being feisty off it and ultimately ability to lead from the front – qualities that echo loudly of none other than Tendulkar himself.
Sachin vs Kohli: The Flight of Records
Kohli seems like a relentless man on a mission, breaking records set by Tendulkar and others along his journey so far. Ousting Tendulkar holds no small significance considering how colossal Sachin’s reign was over cricket – having achieved feats which were hailed as practically unachievable until Kohli sprinted forward.
One could argue that comparisons between two different generations are unfair due to changes in game dynamics over time. However, universally acknowledged statistics revealing both players’ performances under similar
conditions provide stunning insights. Reaching fastest 8000s across all formats faster than any player including Tendulkar, Kohli is proving himself a worthy successor.

Echoes of Sachin in Virat’s captaincy
A notable parallel between the two reigns came with Kohli taking on Captaincy for India – a throne that was briefly occupied by Tendulkar. While absorbing into his new leadership role, we saw him grapple initially but later adapt as he amalgamated strategic batting and aggressive bowling to evolve an entirely new gameplay style – made evident through Team India’s Test Cricket dominion recently.
The Fire of Aggression
Kohli’s combustive nature may be contentious at times, it could be argued that ignites a fire under the team which ultimately leads to victory – almost like a lion leading his pride in wild. This aspect can also be counted as another commonality between Tendulkar and Kohli because “The little master” himself during his early years was outspoken before becoming more mature.
Although highly volatile, this aggression can create magic when channeled right; something Tendulkar learned along course, and something that is visibly nurturing in Kohli’s evolving persona too.
Kohli Endorsements: The Making of Godlike appeal
Off the field, endorsing brands just like Sachin, Kohli’s charisma has attracted giants like Puma, MRF Tyres amongst others. Building up an impressive portfolio of endorsements further propels his godlike status among fans globally especially considering an Indian cricketer enjoying such endorsement growth chiefly belongs to legends or essentially Gods of cricket- call them what you want!
All said and done; only time will tell if age mellows down Virat’s fiery match-winning abilities or if somehow he continues wrapping records around fingers until ultimately standing side-by-side with “God” himself! But so far as dust settles from whirlwind innings played by both, the title of cricket’s new God most fittingly goes to Virat Kohli.
