Babar Azam is not even 1% like Virat Kohli

Virat Kohli and Babar Azam are often the subject of comparisons, with most former players being in favour of the Indian star. However, with the same number of matches played, many feel that Babar can reach the level of Virat Kohli. Babar is a long way behind Kohli, who has been playing international cricket for over 15 years.

Both players execute the cover drive to perfection, and this shot has led to many debates with opinions divided.

A significant number of Indian fans and prominent cricketers support Virat, while Babar receives an equal amount of support in Pakistan from both supporters and legendary cricketers.

Former Indian player Harbhajan Singh has weighed in on this ongoing debate, stating that Virat's cover drive is far superior to Babar Azam's favourite shot.

Harbhajan Singh said on News24 Sports:

“Virat Kohli’s cover drive and flick shot are the best in the world, and there is no comparison. With no offence to the other player (Babar Azam), his talent is limited, but Virat is Virat. There is no comparison between the two players, not even one perfect. Virat is a big player,”

Babar is currently the leading scorer in the ongoing season of Pakistan Super League 2024 while playing for Peshawar Zalmi. He has crossed the 400-run mark. Meanwhile, Virat will be playing for Royal Challengers Bangalore in the Indian Premier League 2024.
