Virat Kohli scores in every game:- Babar Azam was severely criticized by Zaheer Abbar, who also stated that Virat Kohli, who scores in every Indian match, should not be compared to him.
The great Zaheer Abbas of Pakistan expressed his opinions about Virat Kohli, the Indian batsman, and Babar Azam without holding back. In response to those who made the comparison between the two hitters, Abbas retaliated, saying that Babar ought to be removed from the squad given his recent hitting performance. The captain of Pakistan’s white-ball team has been under pressure lately due to his consecutive eliminations from major events. Under his leadership, Pakistan was unable to go past the ODI World Cup semifinals last year, and the Asian heavyweights also had a dismal T20 World Cup campaign, losing out in the group stages.
Babar has not hit a fifty in the last sixteen innings, which has caused him to fall out of the top 10 of the ICC Test rankings. His last century was a 161-run knock against New Zealand in December 2022, when he scored more than 50 runs.
However, in both Tests and ODIs, Kohli remains the cornerstone of the Indian team. Following a game-winning knock in the T20 World Cup final earlier this year, he declared his retirement from Twenty20 international cricket.
Babar was severely criticized by Abbar, who also stated that he shouldn’t be compared to India’s captain, Virat Kohli, who scores in every game.
“The comparisons are meaningless because whereas Virat Kohli scores in every game, Babar does not score in any of the games. How can you compare then? The bigger player is the one who scores. The squad ought to bench Babar Azam. Abbas stated at the Cricket Predicta Conclave, “If he’s not scoring runs, because if he’s our main batsman and he’s out of form, he should be out of the team.”
Abbar went on to compliment the Indian squad’s steady play in all formats and gave captain Rohit Sharma credit for forging a cohesive and powerful team.
“In general, the Indian squad is excellent. Both their bowlers and hitters are performing admirably. This is a very well-rounded team that plays with consideration, or soch samajh kar. They have an excellent leader who is well-versed in cricket. It’s easy sailing when everything is going your way, and India is experiencing that right now,” he continued.
