Brett Lee reckons Kohli can surpass Tendulkar's records
According to Lee, three factors work in favour of the current India captain in surpassing Tendulkar's cricketing feats.. -- Agencies
New Delhi - Kohli has scored 44 ODI hundreds and 27 Test tons so far in his career, and is just 29 centuries away from equalling Tendulkar's feat.
"We are talking about phenomenal numbers here, so you mentioned seven to eight years of cricket and at the rate he (Virat Kohli) is going, yes, he can definitely knock it off," Lee said while speaking on Star Sports 'Cricket Connected' show.
Lee, who played 76 Tests, 221 ODIs and 25 T20Is for Australia, however added that it still will not be easy to break Tendulkar's massive record. Tendulkar made his debut against Pakistan at Karachi in 1989 as a 16-year old.
The master batsman went on to play 200 Tests for India, scoring 100 centuries across Tests and ODIs. In 463 ODIs, Tendulkar scored 18,426 runs including 49 tons and in Tests, he has 15,921 runs to his name including 51 centuries.
Kohli, on the other hand, has scored 44 ODI hundreds and 27 Test tons so far in his career, and is just 29 centuries away from equalling Tendulkar's feat. According to Lee, three factors work in favour of the current India captain in surpassing Tendulkar's cricketing feats
"It comes down to three things, there is one thing I would like to eliminate - so, you talk about talent as a batsman, he's definitely got that talent, eliminate that first and foremost," he said.
"Then fitness - Virat Kohli has got that fitness, so for me it is all about fitness at the age of 30 and also that mental strength, the mental capacity to get through those hard times, being away from home, from his wife, or when they will have children.
"He will do it easily with his talent, it comes down to his mental strength and if he stays fit enough and I believe he has got all those three components to go past Sachin,"? the former fast bowler added.
