By DROP THE BAT AND LISTEN UP! The crowd has walked off the pitch and the verdict is in. Sachin Tendulkar has taken the lead in the great cricket argument, and Virat Kohli's fans just got a lesson in what a long season feels like. THIS is what happens when you bring a debate to a heavyweight fight!
Let's check the training log. According to Wikipedia's Sachin Tendulkar page, he played 664 international matches, scored 34,357 runs and is the only batter with 100 international centuries. He made his Test debut aged 16 years and 205 days, and the same page says Wisden ranked him the second-greatest Test batsman of all time in 2002, behind only Don Bradman. He also lifted the 2011 World Cup. That is a résumé with no skipped leg days.
But the challenger is no couch potato. Kohli's page lists 86 international centuries across all formats, the second-most in international cricket and the most in ODIs. And he is still active in some formats, so the reps keep piling up.
So what does the crowd say? On Morfi, Tendulkar leads at 61% consensus. "Both equal" sits right behind at 27%, and the rest of the ballot is 1 other side. Remember, that is the strength of conviction behind each side, not a headcount. Trading opened less than a day ago, and 10 unique traders have already put $7,570 behind their opinions.
- Sachin Tendulkar61%
- Both equal27%
- Virat Kohli13%
My take, and this is opinion, so don't @ the coach: the crowd got it right. Kohli is a machine, a monster, an animal in the gym of run chases. But Tendulkar is the one who showed up as a teenager and was still carrying the load at his 200th Test. That is longevity, and longevity wins belts. To the "Both equal" camp: stop hugging at the finish line! Pick a corner and pick up the weights!
What to watch next? Kohli is still adding to his numbers, and every big innings is a chance to claw back conviction. Tendulkar's lead came early, and early leads can melt. Think your side deserves more backing? Join the market on Morfi, put your opinion where your mouth is, and show us your reps!
- Sachin Tendulkar 60.9%
- Both equal 26.5%
- Virat Kohli 12.6%
