Pietersen believes Virat Kohli is better than Sachin Tendulkar
It is widely accepted that Steve Smith is the better Test batsman, but Virat Kohli beats him when it comes to one-dayers. Pietersen’s answer, however, prompted Mbangwa to go one step further and ask the Englishman about who he thought was the better batsman between Virat Kohli and Sachin Tendulkar.
The former England captain refused to shy away from suggesting that the current Indian captain was better than the Master Blaster himself. Citing his more-than-impressive record in run chases, Pietersen believes that Virat Kohli’s match-winning performances place him higher than Tendulkar in the list of the greatest batsmen of all time.
According to Pietersen, it is the number of matches that a player wins for his country that truly shows his worth as a cricketer. The pressure under which Virat Kohli plays cannot be matched in the opinion of the former Royal Challengers Bangalore captain.
