1. They both started out young
Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli have been playing cricket at the age which is unimaginable for us. At that age many were in school then.
They broke out in International career also too early. Sachin played first International match at the age of 16 and Virat led his side to victory in the U-19 World Cup when he was 18 and next year he got a call from National Selectors.
