Kohli was even better than Tendulkar: De Villiers on batting in overseas conditions

After India's 165-run win over Sri Lanka, ex-South Africa skipper AB de Villiers said Sachin Tendulkar was first India cricketer to prove that a batter from subcontinent could succeed on fast, bouncy pitches abroad. "Tendulkar wasn't as strong as someone like Virat Kohli, who was even better...[Kohli] raised the bar," he added. Kohli scored 4,774 runs in 66 overseas Tests.
