The Sachin Tendulkar-Virat Kohli debate simply refuses to die down. After a host of former and current cricketers, the latest lot of drawing parallel between the two is that of umpires. Weighing on the similarities between the two batsmen, former ICC umpire Ian Gould has said Kohli’s batting reminds him of his early days, and explains the India captain’s similarity with the great Tendulkar.
Gould said "Virat is a funny man. Yeah, he batted like me a couple of times. I had to tell him off for slogging it. He is a charmer," Gould told ESPNCricinfo in an interview. "He is one of those guys who is got, a bit like Sachin Tendulkar, the whole of India on his back, but you wouldn't know. You could walk into a restaurant and sit and chat with him for hours. He is a very worldly boy. When you look at Virat, you’re thinking male model, pin-up boy, but he knows about the game inside out, the past, history. Lovely guy.”
