“Who Are These People?” KL Rahul Compared To Sachin Tendulkar, Ex-India Cricketer Left Stunned

Published by Webster

Former India cricketer and renowned cricket expert Atul Wassan was recently presented with a comparison, likening India star KL Rahul to legendary batter Sachin Tendulkar. Appearing on a show, Wassan was told that many fans view Rahul’s situation at Delhi Capitals much like Tendulkar with the Indian team in the 1990s, where the dismissal of the star batter would cause people to switch off their television sets. However, Wassan laughed off the comparison, stating that Rahul can never be compared to Tendulkar. “If you talk about KL Rahul and Sachin Tendulkar in the same sentence, then I will go. TVs are getting shut down because KL Rahul is getting out? Who are these people?” said Wassan, speaking on the ‘Bails and Banter’ show on the OTTPlay platform. KL Rahul has endured a mixed season at Delhi Capitals (DC), after being bought for Rs 14 crore at the mega auction for IPL 2025. Rahul is comfortably the team’s highest run-scorer, and is one of the batters to cross 500 runs in IPL 2025. However, …

Virat Kohli, Sachin Tendulkar Or Sunil Gavaskar? Ravi Shastri Gives Big Verdict On ‘Comparisons’ Debate

The world of cricket has been grieving Virat Kohli‘s shock Test retirement. India’s greatest ever red-ball captain, with 40 wins from a possible 68, Kohli finished his career as the fourth highest run-getter for the country with 9,230 runs in 123 Tests at an average of 46.85. Ravi Shastri, who closely followed Kohli’s growth during his stint as head coach of the Indian team, has labelled the 36-year-old as the most influencial cricketer of the last decade or so. On Kohli’s comparisons with Sachin Tendulkar and Sunil Gavaskar, Shastri played down the talks, but insisted that the Delhi-born batter “rewired how India played cricket”. “I don’t like comparisons. I’ve been asked about Gavaskar and Tendulkar. I was lucky enough to share the dressing room with them. But I saw Virat from a different vantage – not just from the comfort of the broadcaster’s box, but through the suffocating pressure that only a dressing room can know. I saw him walk out not to play cricket, but to command it. To own the battlefield. …

Australian batting great Greg Chappell feels Virat Kohli’s Test retirement “marks the end of a thunderous era” in which he managed to “eclipse” the great Sachin Tendulkar in terms of making a cultural and psychological impact on India’s cricketing identity. Writing in his column for ‘ESPNCricinfo’, Chappell, a former India head coach said Kohli’s over a decade long career in the format that began in 2011, was a “reign forged in grit, fire, and audacity.” “It closes the chapter on the most transformative figure in Indian cricket since Sachin Tendulkar; perhaps Kohli even eclipses him in terms of cultural influence and psychological impact on India’s cricketing identity,” Chappell wrote. “Kohli, the incandescent heart of Indian cricket for over a decade, did not just score runs. He redefined expectations, challenged conventions, and symbolised the self-assured, unapologetic India of the 21st century,” he added. The 36-year-old Kohli announced his retirement on Monday, declaring that he is walking away with a heart full of gratitude even though it was not an easy decision to make. “Virat …

Virat Kohli recalled his first India appearance against Pakistan, which came during the 2009 Champions Trophy in South Africa. However, the 36-year-old revealed that he feared for his career after failing to perform in the high-octane clash, which India lost, raising self doubts of whether he would succeed at this level. For the unversed, Kohli wasn’t part of the initial squad for the tournament, and only received a last minute call to join the team in South Africa following a fingury injury to legendary all-rounder Yuvraj Singh. “I played my first series in Sri Lanka, and then I was left out of the team for a while because I had come into the team in place of Sachin paji, who had a niggle. And then when he came back, there was no space left for me. So I had to wait for my chance again. Then came the Champions Trophy 2009 in South Africa. Yuvi pa got a finger injury, I think he got a fracture or something, and then they called me. …

“Talent Can’t Be Bubble-Wrapped”: Australia Great Urges BCCI To Look After Vaibhav Suryavanshi

Published by Webster

Rajasthan Royals’ 14-year-old prodigy, Vaibhav Suryavanshi took everyone by surprise with his fantastic century against Gujarat Titans. Suryavanshi scored a 35-ball-ton during RR’s eight-wicket win against GT in the IPL 2025 match in Jaipur. It was a historic knock as Suryavanshi became the youngest and the fastest Indian to register a century in the IPL. As the good wishes came in from the all-over the world for the Bihar-born batter, Australia’s legendary cricketer Greg Chappell insisted that BCCI should take certain measures to focus on Suryavanshi’s growth. Chappell went to compare Suryavanshi’s situation to Sachin Tendulkar and Vinod Kambi’s case and stated that a proper balance should be maintained between success and fame.  “Sachin Tendulkar succeeded as a teenager not simply due to talent but because of a solid support system – a stoic temperament, a wise coach, a family that protected him from the circus. On the other hand, Vinod Kambli, equally talented and perhaps more flamboyant, struggled to balance fame and discipline. His fall was as dramatic as his rise. Prithvi Shaw …
