I’ve seen tons of questions which ask people to compare Sachin and Sir Don Bradman.

In the end….everyone comes to a conclusion that Bradman was the greatest legend of his own time and if someone has ever managed to come close to him …it is Sachin Tendulkar.

So….now the question is….which player has come close to the stature of Sachin Tendulkar? (rule out Sehwag)

Try not to answer this question with a patriotic heat.
