Cricketers in India are always subject to fall in the eyes of comparison. Whether it is Sachin vs Gavaskar, Kumble vs Bedi, or even Sourav vs MS, players in India have a separate fan base, and each of these fans has their own reasons to support a player. Let us find who is more talented between Kohli and Sharma:

If consistency is a factor to consider, Virat Kohli has been a run machine for most of his career.

Although Virat struggled to score consistently post-2020, his records before 2020 were phenomenal to put it simply. Rohit had a stop-start career for the first 6 years, until when he cemented his career and became one of the best players in the short format of the game. With Rohit now struggling with his batting form, much like Kohli, to pick the more consistent of the two batters would surely be Kohli.

Rohit Sharma when it comes to clean hitting.

Rohit Sharma holds the distinction for scoring multiple ODI double centuries with a career-best of 264 vs Sri Lanka in the Eden Gardens. The innings resonated with what clean hitting felt like. Rohit looked unstoppable and achieved this superhuman feat in the 50-over format. This is one milestone that Virat Kohli has never ever come close to in the 50-over format.

Virat Kohli by far!

Virat Kohli’s magnificent run in all formats of the game and that too with sheer consistency is god-gifted. While this cannot be said with Rohit Sharma, who has had a mediocre test career but a successful shorter format career. In this aspect, Kohli clearly edges out Rohit as the more talented individual.
