Is Virat Kohli's Comparison With Sachin Tendulkar Still Justified?

From dictating game and emerging as most dominant batsman across all formats, Virat Kohli has witnessed a certain plummet, especially in longest format of game. While he put an end to rough patch, where he was stuck at 71st-century mark for a prolonged period two years ago, but great old Kohli, who h an insatiable hunger for runs regardless of conditions and bowling prowess, remains missing from longest format of game. Taking into account his scores in last 23 Test innings (From 2023 to present date), he has scored only two centuries and three half-centuries. This is quite opposite of consistency that took him to undisputed stature he is at today.
