After a poor run in BGT 2024-25, Virat Kohli’s struggles in Test cricket sparked comparisons to Sachin Tendulkar, especially after a viral video surfaced showing Tendulkar hitting a cover drive with his bat upside down. The video, from Tendulkar’s Kashmir trip in February 2024, showcases the legendary batter’s remarkable control, even with the bat’s handle.
Fans flooded the comments, lauding Tendulkar’s mastery and comparing him to Kohli, who struggled after a promising century in the first Test of the series. Kohli’s inconsistency throughout the series contributed to India’s 1-3 defeat to Australia, prompting calls for him to return to domestic cricket to regain his form.
