[PlayerComparisons]

Who was the more selfish player?

 

[Patience and Accuracy+Gut]

Sachin easily.

Wouldn't say either was especially selfish, but if a choice was required, would go with Tendulkar.

 

[Burgey]

Tendulkar and it isn't even close.

 

[PlayerComparisons]

Yea I’m leaning towards Sachin on this one

 

[Pap Finn Keighl]

Sachin is one of the most selfless indian cricketer in last 30 yrs, along with Kumble, Robin Singh.. Etc.
Sachin never wanted to score face saving runs, always tried to win. ( Except 100th 100.. But thats because, there was huge pressure from every corner, and he might have thought thats enough to win... Whatever 100th 100 was more important than the game anyway )

We all know what Kohli did in this WC.

 

[Victor Ian]

Yeah, I think all those people who praise Kohli's unparalleled batting because of recency bias should also be crediting him with being more selfish for the sake of consistency.

 

[Silver Silva]

Every team would love to have these prolific run machines.

 

[Pap Finn Keighl]

Kohli is selfish
Sachin is not.
IMO

Ya we know what Kohli did this WC. Perform nearly every single time.

By Slowing down the team scoring.

In the Bang, he sped up to get his hundred. In the SA match, you needed one guy to stick. He played to his role in the team.

 

[Gob]

Sachin was way more selfish

Remember refusing to settle for a draw in a test match against Sri Lanka with an hour or so to go on an absolute road when the game was going nowhere because he was closing in on a hundred

since when is scoring at 90 strike rate slowing down the team scoring?

Why would that be selfish? Most of his teammates would be relaxing with their feet up in the dressing whilst the opposition are forced to keep on toiling in the field.

If anything it was selfish of the opposition to offer a draw before he had got the 100.

Yeah for an extra half and hour. Would have made such a huge difference lol

What you are doing is finding ways to go around the obvious fact that he only decided to keep the game alive for a personal milestone
