Sachin deserves Bharat Ratna : Virat Kohli

No comments: Labels: , , , , ,

India's latest batting sensation Virat Kohli on Thursday said Sachin Tendulkar deserves country's highest civilian award - the Bharat Ratna. 


"He (Tendulkar) really deserves Bharat Ratna. Whatever he has done, I don't think anyone else can be even be close to achieve (100 hundreds in international cricket) what he achieved in last 22 years ... it is something impossible," Kohli told reporters, after signing as Brand Ambassador to Toyota Kirloskar Motor.

The clamour for honouring the Little Master with Bharat Ratna intensified after Maharashtra Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan told the state Assembly that his government would recommend Tendulkar's name for the highest civilian award. 


The demands for the award have found a vocal support across all sections of the society, both national and international. 


Excited about this year's IPL, Kohli said unlike last IPL, he is pretty relaxed during this edition with string of good performances behind him in the international arena. 


"I am really excited about this year's IPL. I am feeling relaxed this time around because in last IPL, I wanted to prove a point. IPL 3 was not that great performance wise," he said. 


Kohli said though he considered himself to be in the confidence zone, he was not complacent and working hard to help RCB's prospects. 
Asked what would be his aim in IPL after India's poor show in England and Australia, Kohli said he would concentrate on every game that came his way and try to prepare the best way he could. 


"We (RCB) have 18 games to go. It is going to be a challenge for everyone ... I am looking forward for each and every game ... I don't think about the past or think too much ahead of the future," he said. 


Earlier, Toyota Kirloskar Motor announced Kohli as its brand ambassador.

Virat Kohli says Sachin Tendulkar is the reason he started playing cricket

2 comments: Labels: , ,
"Sachin Tendulkar is the reason I started playing" -- said India's most promising batting talent right now, Virat Kohli, as he paid tribute to the senior batsman for completing a century of international hundreds. At a felicitation function organised by industrialist and IPL team Mumbai Indians' owner Mukesh Ambani, Kohli was asked to give his thoughts on the 39-year-old, who completed the incredible feat during the recent Asia Cup in Bangladesh.
The 23-year-old right-hander, who is in the form of his life having scored three hundreds in his past four one-dayers, said as a child he only dreamed of catching a glimpse of Tendulkar in person.
"He is the reason why I have started playing cricket. Like me I think most of the youngsters in the India started playing cricket because of him," Virat said as Tendulkar looked back at him smiling.
"Now it is just a great honour to share the same dressing room with him. I remember when I was small, my only dream was to see him in real life and to play with him now is just a great honour for me. I couldn't have asked for anything more," he added.
