Virat Kohli's sensational form with the bat has been the backbone of Indian batting over the past few years now. Whether it's limited-overs or the longer version of the game, the right-hander has proved his mettle to establish that he can do no wrong with a willow in his hand.

Such has been his genius with the bat that it has led to comparisons with the great Sachin Tendulkar, with many believing Kohli to be better than the Little Master.

After guiding India to an emphatic Test, ODI and T20 series win against England, the Indian batting sensation continued to torment the opposition in the first innings of the ongoing India vs Bangladesh Test match in Hyderabad.

The 28-year-old slammed a scintillating 204 off 246 balls to ensure India posted a mammoth total of 687 runs in the first innings. In the process, he became the first batsman ever in the history of Test cricket to score double hundreds in four consecutive series.

And, while the cricket fraternity came out praising the might of Kohli, Tendulkar, too, didn't waste any time to laud the right-hander for his monumental achievement.

Tendulkar was undoubtedly India's most prized possession on the cricket field and even though he has retired now, the Master Blaster continues to be an inspiration for an entire generation of cricketers to keep performing at their best for India, including the explosive Kohli.
