Mohinder

1983 Final 26 & 3/12 Man of the match

Wasim Akram

1992 Final 33 & 3/49 Man of the match
1999 Final 8 & 1/41

Weren't you comparing world cup final performances? 33 and 3/49 was a far more superior performance from Wasim. I don't even need to educate you on the context.

Mohinder did it against ATG side. Pakistan did it against not so great side. How is it superior. He was batting against Garner, Marshall, Holding, Roberts :)

Good, now go pull up Tendulkar fans in this thread who believe this, and the posters who try to undermine Ponting's contribution in the WCs.

No one hates Tendulkar, just because someone disagrees with the claim he is a God and all, doesn't make them a hater. Pakistan fans do not hate Indian players either, you will read on this thread many Pakistan fans hold Indian players in high regard, but when it comes to Tendulkar, he is quite frankly over-rated IMO and put on a pedestal because he made India famous after Gandhi.

Tendulkar was great no doubt but tad overrated in world events. He was a minnow basher. Great marketing gimmick calling him goat, God, demi God etc.

He failed as you said in all 6 tournaments in crucial stages barring 2011.

That weak bowling unit is rubbish. India bowling attack in 2003 was very good. Probably third best in the tournament.

2011 also had a pretty good support cast. Ofcourse not as good as now but it was not a rubbish attack like many make it out to be. It was actually well above average. 90s era sure. Indian attack was weak. Post 2000 Sachin had no excuses to not perform.
 
Tendulkar was dethroned as a goat world cup batter even in his era lol.

He's a goat player but he isn't the best in everything lol, World cup isn't his strong suit.
 
Rohit has 7 hundreds in 19 matches. That is unreal.

He may not have the longevity in World Cups like Sachin but in terms of pure impact he is probably clear.

Sure, scoring hundreds has become easier due to the rules these days but it applies to everyone.

No one from his era comes close to Rohit’s dominance in World Cups.

Scoring centuries has become easier for sure.

The trend started in 2015 when Sangakkara who had not scored any centuries previously smashed 4-5 in one tournament

Then Hitman in 2019

And now arguably De Kock could smash 4-5 this tournament

When Tendulkar played, centuries were a big deal.

Rohit is definitely a better opener compared to his contempories but don't think he will EVER surpass Tendulkar. The truth is, Rohit is not even 25% the batter Sachin was. As someone who has seen Sachin bat in 90s, he had no aparent weakness where as a little bit of lateral movement Sharma ji becomes sitting duck. There has NEVER been nor EVER will be a more complete batsman than Tendulkar.

Lol Tendulkar was the GOAT world cup batter. The most pressure game for any Indian player is the match against Pakistan and vice versa. Tendulkar gave 3 man of the match performance in 5 games he featured. So this notion that he don't perform in big pressure games is BS. And he gave all those performances facing proper bowlers. Absolute GOAT.
 
Virat Kohli needs 320 more runs to break Sachin Tendulkar's record of most runs in a World Cup edition.

It's highly impossible to beat Sachin. Sachin is a beast in World Cups, and his knockout performances are next level.

People could have a 50 page arguement on this but Tendulkar is most likely to be adjudged the GOAT World Cup batter.

6 world cups, dominated 3 of them. It’s pretty surreal. Who in this generation has even played 4 world cups.

Shakib Al Hasan is playing his 5th World Cup. Congratulations, you have been exposed.

Nope, we are talking purely about bowling performance. Madan and Jimmy had a better bowling performance playing against the atg windies team while wasim did it against an average English team

Lol a minnow basher who scored tons against South Africa, sri Lanka and England. The guy who won motm against pak 3 different times. And he didn't fail in the semis of 1996&2003. He didn't play knockouts other times
 
I could see Rohit doing it, Kohli correcting his record in knockout matches could also do it

I don’t know I think Rohit is one of the best tournament bats, his explosive innings up up make it easier for everyone who comes after as well

Rohit and kohli> Tendulkar. If they win it this year there will be zero doubt
 
Sachin Tendulkar is GOAT …. U can’t compare batsmen of this era with him. Tendulkar has faced bowlers like Walsh, Mcgrath, Donald, Akram, Waqar, Patterson, Akhtar, Devillers, Bret lee, Ambrose, Gilliespe, Warne, Murleedharan, styne etc
 
Quinton de Kock needs 128 runs to become the top run-scorer in a single World Cup.
Quinton de Kock (2023): 545 Runs, 7 innings 78 Avg, 4 hundreds


Sachin Tendulkar (2003): 673 Runs, 11 innings 61.18 Avg, 1 hundred
Mathew Hayden (2007): 659 Runs, 10 innings 73.22 Avg, 3 hundreds
Rohit Sharma (2019): 648 Runs, 9 innings 81.00 Avg, 5 hundreds
 
Now Virat Kohli rules the hearts of millions.

1. Virat Kohli in 2023 World Cup in Mumbai

2. Sachin Tendulkar last Test innings

To break Tendulkar’s record of most runs in a WC edition (673):

De Kock needs 83 runs.
Ravindra needs 109 runs.
Kohli needs 131 runs. (Kohli has 1 extra innings)


Will the record be broken in this World Cup?

2027 world cup format is different, one team will get maximum 9 matches. So, if Sachin's record somehow survives, it will be safe for some more decades.

Legends never die.
Tendulkar will always be the greatest of all times and ages.
 
Kohli has overtaken Tendulkar’s 20 years long standing record of most runs at the World Cup.

He has 674 now and going strong

Kohli now has 711 runs in this World Cup after his brilliant innings of 117 runs today.
 
It’s between Tendulkar & Hitman as far as i am concerned.
