CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: Former Indian cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar has sparked a heated debate in the cricketing world with his recent remark contrasting Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. Speaking during a panel discussion, Manjrekar described Rohit as a “good” player while calling Virat a “great” player, emphasizing their differences in impact and consistency in critical matches.
Manjrekar elaborated on his statement, pointing out Kohli’s unmatched ability to perform under pressure and his record in chasing down targets as key factors that set him apart. He acknowledged Rohit’s exceptional contributions, particularly in white-ball cricket, but argued that Kohli’s dominance across formats places him in a league of his own.
The comment has divided fans and cricket pundits alike, with some agreeing with Manjrekar’s assessment and others defending Rohit’s credentials, citing his five IPL titles as Mumbai Indians’ captain and record-breaking performances in ODIs.
As the debate continues to trend on social media, it highlights the larger narrative of how players are compared in the cricketing world. Both Kohli and Rohit remain integral to Indian cricket, but Manjrekar’s statement has undoubtedly added fuel to the ongoing discussion about their respective legacies.
