Tendulkar Predicted Kohli Would Break His Records: BCCI VP Rajeev Shukla Reveals

  • BCCI VP Rajeev Shukla revealed Sachin Tendulkar's confidence in Virat Kohli breaking his batting records.
  • Shukla tried to persuade Tendulkar to play for 25 years, but Sachin retired in 2013, citing inability to give 100%.
  • Tendulkar retired after a 24-year career, scoring 34,357 runs and 100 centuries across all formats.
  • Virat Kohli has surpassed many of Sachin's records, especially in ODIs, with 54 centuries.
  • Kohli is considered the 'GOAT' in ODIs, with 14,797 runs and 54 centuries, and holds records in T20Is and ICC events.

Why It Matters: Sachin Tendulkar foresaw Virat Kohli's record-breaking potential, a prophecy largely fulfilled in cricket history.
