Both Djokovic and Kohli have scaled mountains in their respective sports (tennis and cricket).

The Serb currently has the joint-most Grand Slam titles (24) with Margaret Court (male or female).

Djokovic has literally completed tennis, unlocking every major achievement in the sport.

Similarly, Kohli is regarded as the modern-day master. He is only behind Sachin Tendulkar in terms of international runs (28,215).

His tally of 85 international tons is also next to Tendulkar's (100).
