Broadcaster for South Africa vs Sri Lanka Test series, SuperSport, made an absurd comparison between India's legendary batsman Sachin Tendulkar and Proteas' Rassie van der Dussen.

During the second Test of South Africa and Sri Lanka, they showed the stats of the first six Test matches of both the batsmen. Fans on Twitter were in disbelief when they saw the unexpected comparison.

It looked like a joke to many as Sachin had already achieved a lot in international cricket at the age of 31, while Van der Dussen was playing just his 6th Test match.

Without any surprise, the comparison wasn't appreciated by the Twitterati.
