Indian left-hander batsman Yuvraj Singh has expressed that Virat Kohli is the best batsman of this generation, but it unfair to compare India's Test captain with Sachin Tendulkar.
According to Indian media reports, Singh said, "I think 100 centuries is really far away to think," Yuvraj said when asked if Kohli would be able to reach Tendulkar's milestone of 100 international tons.
"Tendulkar was a great player and great ambassador of India and it is going to take a lot (of hard work) for Virat Kohli to come in comparison with that," he told NDTV.
Yuvraj said Kohli and South African AB de Villiers are presently the best batsmen of the generation and hoped the former too becomes a great player for India just like Tendulkar. "Virat (Kohli) is in great form. He is the best batsman of this generation along with AB de Villiers. So, I hope one day he becomes a great player for India."
However, Yuvraj, who is yet to feature in the ongoing Indian Premier League for his new franchise, Sunrisers Hyderabad, because of an ankle injury, said he is fit to take the field against Gujarat Lions at Hyderabad on Friday.
Yuvraj injured his ankle in the World T20 league game against Australia earlier this year and has been out of action since then.
