Virat Kohli and Babar Azam are two of the best batsmen of this generation and have often been compared to each other. Kohli has been at the top of his game for a long time, while Babar has shown in the early stages of his career that he can become a great batsman in the future. Both the batsmen have won many matches for their teams. However, former Pakistani all-rounder Abdul Razzaq has pointed out that Babar is not as good as Kohli in one respect.
Former Pakistan all-rounder Abdul Razzaq has praised Virat Kohli fiercely. He said that Virat Kohli’s fitness is “world-class,” and Babar Azam stands nowhere in front of him. Razzaq said that Azam would have to work a lot in every aspect to become like Kohli.
In an interview given to the Times of India, Abdul Razzaq said, “The most important thing about Kohli is that his fitness is world-class. Babar Azam’s fitness is not like Virat Kohli’s. Babar needs to work more on his fitness.”
Razzaq also praised Kohli’s intention and said, ”Virat is an excellent and brilliant player. The best thing is that he takes his team along. His intention is always positive. He uses his skills very well.
The former Pakistan cricketer also requested the fans to refrain from comparing Virat Kohli and Babar Azam as both are world-class players. He said, “We don’t need to compare them. It is like asking who is better – Kapil Dev or Imran Khan? These comparisons are not good.”
He further added, “Kohli is one of the best players of India. Similarly, Babar Azam is the best player of Pakistan. Kohli is a world-class player, and so is Babar. But Kohli’s fitness is much better than Babar’s.”
