“No man in the open era could ever surpass their achievements…”: Dinesh Karthik Compares Virat Kohli With This Tennis Superstar

Novak Djokovic and Virat Kohli are two names that resonate with excellence and sporting brilliance. While one rules the tennis courts, the other dominates the cricketing arena. Recently, Djokovic secured his 24th Grand Slam title, and at the same time, Kohli achieved a remarkable milestone in his cricketing career. 

Novak Djokovic’s recent victory in the US Open finals on September 11 marked his 24th Grand Slam title. It’s a testament to his remarkable talent and relentless pursuit of excellence in tennis. Djokovic’s journey to greatness began during an era dominated by legendary players like Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal. Yet, he didn’t just compete with them; he surpassed their records and set new standards.

Virat Kohli’s story in cricket mirrors Djokovic’s journey in tennis. Kohli started his cricketing career when the likes of Sachin Tendulkar and MS Dhoni were ruling the field. Much like Djokovic, he didn’t merely tread in the footsteps of these legends; he created his path to greatness. Kohli’s recent accomplishment of becoming the fastest cricketer to amass 13,000 runs in ODI cricket is a testament to his extraordinary skill and consistency.

Dinesh Karthik, the RCB keeper and an experienced cricketing mind, drew intriguing parallels between Djokovic and Kohli. He highlighted how these athletes emerged as top players during eras dominated by established names. Karthik’s observations shed light on the unique challenges and pressures faced by athletes stepping into the limelight amidst such stiff competition.

Karthik pointed out that Djokovic revolutionized tennis by surpassing the achievements of Federer and Nadal, setting records that seemed impossible. Similarly, Kohli’s meteoric rise in cricket has brought him close to the ranks of some of the greatest players to have ever graced the sport. Achieving the feat of 13,000 ODI runs in just 267 innings is a testament to his ability to perform consistently and outshine his predecessors.

“It is remarkable that he achieved this feat in only 267 innings. It is comparable to what Novak Djokovic has accomplished in his career. When Djokovic began playing, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal were dominating the sport, and they reached a point where they thought no man in the open era could ever surpass their achievements,” said Karthik.

Kohli’s recent century against Pakistan further solidified his status as a cricketing legend. He was rightfully awarded the Player of the Match for his exceptional unbeaten 122 off 94 balls. This achievement serves as a reminder of his ability to thrive under pressure and deliver outstanding performances when it matters most.
