"Experience is Chennai's major asset. The two openers (Ruturaj Gaikwad and Faf du Plessis) are doing the business but they also have the experience of playing these important playoff games and that could come in handy. MS Dhoni and his brains and his thinking are going to come good,"
Tendulkar then said that the boy has a bright future considering he is going to learn from the "one of the greatest batsmen in the world."
Brett Lee said that Sachin Tendulkar edges Brian Lara in the race for the greatest batsman, but Jacques Kallis was the "greatest complete cricketer."
According to the former left-handed England opener, Kohli finds a spot in the list because of his sheer ability to score runs freely across formats.
