India skipper Virat Kohli in a chat with Gaurav Kapur on his show 'Breakfast with Champions' rubbished the notion of him being compared to the great Sachin Tendulkar.

Kohli, who is scoring century after century in ODI cricket, is expected to break most of the records set by the master blaster, but he insisted to not compare him with one of the best batsmen, the world ever saw.

"I don't believe in comparison. You can only compare those who are worthy of the comparison. You are comparing me to someone because of whom I started playing cricket in the first place.

"I stand no chance in terms of skill level. He's the most complete batsman ever. Then how can you even compare? I've always said it's not fair no him. Because of what he's given us, he doesn't deserve to be compared to us. This generation, no chance." 

When Gaurav asked what was his reaction when he first went to a dressing room or first went to practice and met him (Sachin), he replied, "My first interaction with him was very funny. First interaction, I had prepared for two days to meet him. To meet Sachin Tendulkar in the Indian dressing room. Now, these guys somehow found out 'cause I spoke with someone there about me feeling nervous.

"They decided to play a prank by telling me that all the rookies in the team have to pay their respects by touching Paaji's feet. And I took them seriously. I go and greet him. Just as I was about to touch his feet he says, "What are you doing?" I tell him, "They told me I had to touch your feet out of respect when I meet you". He says, "No, no, they are just pulling your leg"," revealed Virat.

Virat also revealed that Yuvraj Singh, Munaf Patel, and Harbhajan Singh were behind the prank.
