Cricketer Sanju Samson draws parallels between tennis and cricket ahead of Wimbledon. Speaking about player styles, Samson describes MS Dhoni as “the Roger Federer of cricket,” citing Dhoni’s calm, composed approach and an effortless-looking, yet powerful, performance when he plays. For Virat Kohli, Samson compares him to Carlos Alcaraz, pointing to Kohli’s explosive playing style and likening it to Alcaraz’s energy. Samson also comments on Kohli’s development, saying the explosive aspect resembles how Kohli “started” in his early phase. In addition to these tennis comparisons, one outlet notes that Samson reflects on India’s World Cup triumphs and how they contribute to high standards, while also acknowledging Australia’s historical dominance and noting India’s current status as champions. The outlets collectively report the same comparisons, using them to explain differences in temperament and impact rather than making any formal statistical claims.
