Virat Kohli reveals the one quality from Sachin Tendulkar he would like to have: ‘Never looked rushed’
When asked about other former cricketers and celebrities, Virat Kohli said that he would like MS Dhoni’s contentment, he would like to have Shah Rukh Khan’s humility and Cristiano Ronaldo’s discipline.
Kohli said he would like Tendulkar's lap shot, admitting that he was the pioneer of that shot and Kohli, himself, could not play it as well as he did.

Between 2016 and 2019, Kohli became more than just that, yet in most interviews when asked about comparisons with Tendulkar, he refused to call himself a bigger player than his idol.
In a video released by his IPL franchise Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) on Friday, the 37-year-old was asked in a rapid-fire round what was the one thing he would like from Tendulkar, to which he said he would like his lap shot, admitting that he was the pioneer of that shot and Kohli, himself, could not play it as well as he did.
