Why can’t Virat Kohli replace Sachin Tendulkar? David Lloyd explains the reason
Virat recently broke Tendulkar’s record of most ODI centuries in the World Cup 2023. Virat Kohli – Sachin Tendulkar. (Photo Source: Getty Images) There has been a debate going on for a long time as to who is better between Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli. The legendary Sachin Tendulkar made many records in a career spanning more than two decades, some of which are still unbroken. On the other hand, Virat Kohli has challenged his records with his consistency. Virat recently broke Tendulkar’s record of most ODI centuries in the World Cup 2023. Although, it is difficult to break the record of 100 centuries of the former Indian cricketer, but Kohli is just 20 centuries away from it. He is still very fit and has a lot of cricket left in him. So it is interesting to see how many records of Sachin he destroys. Former England cricketer David Lloyd has given his opinion on this debate. When he was asked to choose between Sachin and Kohli for the ultimate Test-playing XI, he termed the star Indian batsman as a “personable chap”. 95 percent said Sachin – David Lloyd I did a little research and found on social media that you can only have one,” Lloyd was quoted as saying by TOI. 95 percent said Sachin. Some are telling me, criticizing me, some are even asking questions. This is ridiculous. There is only one answer. One thing that came to light was that Sachin used to leave his ego at home. I think the other guy Virat Kohli is quite a personable chap. He further said, Virat Kohli is incredible, but I would have chosen Sachin. If I had a choice between Sachin Tendulkar and Brian Lara in a Test match, I would choose Lara. So Sachin and Kohli are two great players in test matches. There is no debate in choosing between the two.

Meanwhile, discussions have started regarding the mega auction of the next season. The IPL 2025 mega auction will be held at the end of the year. Before this mega auction, a big report has come out, actually the franchises want to change the number of players to be retained. BCCI is going to hold a meeting with all the 10 franchises on April 16 regarding the IPL 2025 mega auction. IPL 2025 Mega Auction: Franchises made big demands from the board The last mega auction of IPL took place in 2022, that year the rule was that franchises could retain 4 players. A player could be bought back using the ‘Right to Match’ (RTM) card, which could include a maximum of 3 Indian and 2 foreign players. Before the IPL 2025 Mega Auction, the franchises are demanding to retain 8 players instead of 4. BCCI source while talking to Times of India said, ‘Things are in a very early stage. The board is seeking recommendations to take the league forward. Player retention is a major factor in this. According to informal discussions, most of the franchises are in favor of a rule where they can retain around eight players before the auction. Franchises feel that there is a need for continuity in the team combination, so efforts should be made to retain a large part of the core team. The BCCI source also said that the franchises have also demanded to increase the current purse from Rs 90 crore to Rs 100 crore. Because BCCI now has big media rights. The BCCI source further said, ‘There will be some resistance as some franchises will want a larger pool of players in the auction to rebuild their teams. Everyone must remember that there are 10 teams now and if the number of retentions is increased, there will be a ‘cream pool’. The meeting to be held on April 16 is likely to revolve around these issues.
