Apart from leading the team from the front, Rahul has been in great form with the bat as well as he has scored 567 runs in 11 matches and is holding the Orange Cap.
While naming his cricketing idol, the Indian cricket legend stresses that in general his hero was his father Ramesh Tendulkar.
Former Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar has suggested a rule change in the shortest format of the game.
Kohli has so far managed just 18 runs in three matches. Kohli has failed to score more than 25 runs in his last eight IPL matches, amassing just 104 runs at 13 an average and a strike rate of 87.39.

Kohli, one of the best fielders in world cricket, had dropped two big opportunities and the scored only one run off five deliveries with the bat in RCB's thrashing defeat at the hands of KXIP.

Rahul will be leading Kings XI Punjab in IPL 2020 after R Ashwin was traded off to Delhi Capitals last year before the Kolkata auction.
RCB may have two of the best batsmen in the world in Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers, but Sunil Gavaskar picked this player as the franchise's match-winner ahead of IPL 2020.
