I place Sachin Tendulkar higher than Virat Kohli, says Harbhajan Singh

Ace off-spinner Harbhajan Singh termed Indian captain Virat Kohli as “an intense cricketer” who thrives on responsibility. “Virat (Kohli) is a very intense cricketer. He likes to take on the responsibility and expects the same from his team. That has really worked well and the team has performed beyond expectations,” Harbhajan said during a session at the ‘SporTale‘ – sport themed literary festival.

While talking about comparison between Tendulkar and Kohli, Harbhajan said they played in different eras and faced different bowlers and comparison would be unfair. “Still I will place Sachin Tendulkar higher than Kohli because the kind of bowlers he faced were better than what they are now,” said Harbhajan and mentioned that the standard of bowling has fallen over the years.
