“Kohli is slightly better” – Mohammad Azharuddin compares Babar Azam with Virat Kohli
Mohammad Azharuddin rates former India captain Virat Kohli ahead of Babar Azam owing to his more than a decade-long experience.
As a leader, though, he believes Babar is better but pointed out his failure at the 2022 T20 World Cup. Azharuddin added that the duo has a unique style of play.
He said:
Babar amassed 124 runs in seven games at a strike rate of 93.23 in the 2022 T20 World Cup.
Pakistan will next host a five-match T20I series with as many ODIs against New Zealand in April and May.
