With the form that he is in, comparison with his idol Tendulkar is also expected. However, Kohli calls the comparison invalid.
"It is embarrassing to be honest. It is not fair on him (Tendulkar). He can't be compared to anyone. You are talking about a batsman of a different caliber. I have strengthened my game whereas he was born to achieve all that he has. I have been playing well for two years while he served the nation with grace for 24 years.

He is two levels above anyone else in this generation of batsmen. I am individually inspired by him though I would like to create my own path," Kohli told India Today.
