Sachin Tendulkar, a legendary cricketer, played in a different era of the sport compared to today's players like Virat Kohli. Back when Sachin was at his prime, the rules of the game were quite distinct. The ICC introduced a significant rule change in October 2012, which altered the dynamics of the game. This change limited the number of fielders allowed outside the 30-yard circle to only three or four instead of the previous five around the 30th over. Post-2012, we've seen a surge in double centuries in international cricket, with only two achieved before that time, one by Sachin Tendulkar in 2010 and the other by Virender Sehwag in 2011.
In Sachin's era, batsmen faced different challenges. They had to contend with rules allowing two bouncers per over and no DRS (Decision Review System) for reviewing umpire decisions. The mental pressure on a batsman crossing the 90s was immense, unlike today when players comfortably convert 90s to 100s.
Currently, there's no longer the same pressure on batsmen, with a higher conversion rate from 90s to 100s, thanks to the ability to review decisions. To compare Virat Kohli with Sachin, one must consider these rule changes, as they have transformed the game.
When you look at the batting averages of players like Brian Lara, Ricky Ponting, and Jackie Scully in Sachin's era, they were around 40 to 45. Middle-order batsmen averaged about 37 to 38. But now, middle-order and top-order batsmen often average above 40 and 50, respectively.
Virat Kohli began his career in 2008 when the rules were different, and his early averages reflected that. It's only after the ICC rule allowing only three or four fielders outside the 30-yard circle around the 30th over that the game favored batsmen more, leading to improved averages for players like Kohli.
Nowadays, teams regularly score over 400 runs, a sight rarely seen during Sachin's time. If Sachin had played in this modern generation, he might have scored over 200 centuries and numerous double centuries in ODI cricket, showcasing his incredible skills.
Comparing old-generation cricketers with the new generation is like comparing students from different eras. The challenges and conditions were vastly different. The modern ICC rules have made the game more favorable to batsmen, resulting in high-scoring matches and very few instances where a team defending a modest total of 220 or 230 succeeds. So, it's essential to consider these rule changes when making comparisons in the world of cricket. Just as comparing new-generation students to old-generation students reveals different examination conditions, the old generation students faced tougher challenges to pass exams, whereas new generation students often find it easier, resulting in fewer failures. However, the depth of knowledge between the two generations varies significantly, as the old generation's education occurred in a different era, making it challenging to draw direct comparisons.
So called experts, how can you undermine any team? This is the reason india are losing semi final and finals since 2014.
