According to a statement by former Pakistani captain Imran Khan, Kohli is great player as compared to Sachin Tendulkar. While talking to Indian media, Imran said that history of cricket is full of great players. In the 80s, there were players with Viv Richards who was followed by other great players like Brian Lara and Sachin Tendulkar and now there is turn for Virat Kohli.
Imran praised Virat Kohli that he is very strong technically as he plays strokes on all sides of ground and uses his both feet. He also has the ability to play well during pressure. These qualities were absent in Tendulkar as he failed to play well during pressure situation. Due to this reason, he considers Kohli as a better player than Sachin Tendulkar.
