salman butt says there is no comparison between babar azam and virat kohli

Karachi: Former Pakistan opener Salman Butt seems to have tried to put an end to the best batsman comparison between Babar Azam and Virat Kohli. One of the legends of the modern era in the game of gentlemen, the Indian captain has turned the history books in international cricket across all formats in a decade. Virat Kohli’s Pakistani opponent Babar Azam has made his mark at the international level in all forms of cricket.

Even though Babar still has a long way to go to match the modern-day greats like Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Steve Smith, the Pakistan batsman is often pitted against the batting by his fans and followers. Butt became a cricket pundit after his international career and explained why Pakistan captain Babar Azam and Indian captain Virat Kohli cannot be compared.

Talking on his official YouTube channel, Butt said that Babar Azam is new to international cricket while Virat Kohli is one of the most experienced batsmen of his generation. Praising Babar Azam’s lone warrior performance in the national team, Butt said that when the Pakistan captain wants to convert his innings into match-winning innings, he does not get any support.

Kohli has many players to win matches: Butt

Butt said, ‘Kohli is one of the perfect players. There are great players around him too. Even if Kohli flops in a match, India can win because they have other players who have the ability to win matches. Former Pakistan captain Butt described Azam as the only performer of the team. Under the leadership of Babar Azam, Pakistan had to face defeat in white ball cricket at the hands of England recently.

Butt said, ‘Babar Azam is young at this moment. He doesn’t have as much experience or exposure as Kohli. Secondly, he is the only player to perform for the team. He got the support of Mohammad Rizwan, but other players have been one of the few to perform on occasion. Babar Azam scores runs but still faces criticism, which is a double whammy. It is a team sport.
