Babar Azam on Comparison with Virat Kohli: There is an uproar in Pakistan cricket after Babar Azam was dropped from the Test team. Big names have entered this debate, but let us tell you that this matter started with a tweet by Fakhar Zaman, which according to the report even the PCB officials did not like. Actually, Zaman had compared Babar with Virat, but now the former captain of the Pakistan team himself has given a big statement on the comparison with Virat Kohli.
In a media interview, Babar Azam was asked why he is always asked questions about Virat Kohli and why he is compared with Virat. To this, Babar replied smilingly, “It has become people’s job to keep comparing us. In my view, Virat Kohli is one of the best players in history, while I too am far behind him and There is a lot to achieve, I will try to become a match winner for my team like him.
Kohli and Babar are out of form
Both Babar Azam and Virat Kohli have been seen struggling to score runs in the year 2024. On one side is Babar Azam, who has not even been able to touch the 50-run mark in the last 18 Test innings. His last Test century came against New Zealand in December 2022. Amidst this bad phase, he has even left the captaincy of Pakistan’s ODI and T20 team.
On the other hand, the year 2024 has not been very good for Virat Kohli either. His last century in Test matches came against West Indies in December 2023. After that, Virat has played 7 Test innings, in which he has been able to score only one fifty. In 2024, Virat has scored only 157 runs in test matches. Both Babar and Kohli are currently going through a bad phase in their respective careers.
