If we are only discussing ODI's only...I would say Virat Kohli...

If you bring both Tests and ODI's into discussion..then it's Sachin Tendulkar...

But Virat Kohli is also the best T20i batsman of all time...

But if you ask me best overall batsman of all time between Virat Kohli and Sachin Tendulkar...better time to discuss that would be when Virat Kohli retires from all international cricket...

Upto you to rate the best overall batsman but in a comparison between Kohli and Tendulkar, you cannot be bringing in T20I as a factor since T20s were still in nascent stages at the end of Tendulkar's career. T20s in 90s and 2000s would have seen Tendulkar, Lara, Ponting, Jayasuriya, Sehwag, Symonds, Klusenar all being the top T20 players.

Tendulkar was just a better batsman in terms of all around game, range of shots etc imo. Kohli on approximately the same level though.
Kohli will never be on the same level with sachin. Only 2010s kids will think so
WOW

Would of thought it would now have to be Virat if there wasn't any doubt before.
That average for nearly 300 matches is actually beyond ridiculous.
More centuries scored and he's played 170 less matches.
With such a large set of data available, clearly a much better strike rate as well.

For me not only is he better than Sachin, but MR Kohli is now MR 🐐

Viv can go and jump in the bin.

Edit: Just joking Viv I love you man.
