No, Sachin is in a different league. He is beyond Comparisons.
He never had the comfort of taking risks in his time. He was burdened. Every time he walked out, he was supposed to finish the game. Same is not expected from Sehwag. If he fails, few will blame him. Sehwag has more freedom. Even today , Sachin is burdened by expectations. If he starts playing like Sehwag (Which I strongly feel he can), and fails in two consecutive games, the critics will start analyzing his fitness, his age, etc. I'l say one line "Its very difficult to be Sachin". To carry the expectations of Billions. We are so emotionally attached to him that when he fails we feel that we have been defeated and that is the time, we become very critical of him. So, he never had the freedom to play naturally. Even after all this what he has achieved in world cricket is nothing short of exceptional !
Sachin is a role model for most of the Indians. Hats off to Sachin!
Sehwag is also a very fine player and in a league of his own, but Sachin is Legend. It not about Strike rates. Its about Karishma. Sachin Creates that. He has Inspired a whole Generation to take the Cricket to the next level. That's why we have players like Viru, Yuvraj, Kohli, Dhoni, Rohit Sharma, Suresh Raina and many more who will come to the Team. So, Sachin is Beyond comparisons.
