Ever since his International debut, the Pakistan cricketer, Babar Azam has made a name for himself in the world of cricket. The elegant right-handed batsman has shown improvement in each passing game in the past few years. He has often been compared with the Indian skipper, Virat Kohli as he has often being credited as Pakistan’s answer to India’s Kohli.

Recently a fan asked former Australian leg spinner Brad Hogg who he thinks is better. The latter as never shied away from depressing his opinion, but this time around, he decided to take a diplomatic approach while answering this question.

The Australian was having a question and answer session with his fans on Twitter. During this interaction, a fan from Pakistan asked him who he thinks is better, Kohli or Babar. “@Brad_Hogg how about Babar or Kohli? Who’s better?” the tweet read.

Brad tried to dodge away from the question by giving a very diplomatic answer as he said both the players lead the way for their own country. He replied, “That’s Putting me in Dangerous territory. Who is it? Both lead the way for there country. It will be a great Test Match when you can watch both of them play on the same field together. Let’s appreciate the best at work. Kohli the senior Babar the junior.”

That's Putting me in Dangerous territory.
Who is it?
Both lead the way for there country. It will be a great Test Match when you can watch both of them play on the same field together. Let's appreciate the best at work. Kohli the senior Babar the junior #hoggytime #onthefence https://t.co/qvWkkntIgU

Brad Hogg’s desire to watch both the leading batsmen playing in a single Test could be a far fetched dream looking at the issues between India and Pakistan. The two sides have not played a Test match against each other since 2007.

Babar Azam has been a revolutionary considering the batting records of players in the recent past. He has an average of 45 in Test format, 54 in ODIs and close to 51 in T20Is. If Babar eventually crosses the average of 50 in Tests, he would join Virat Kohli in the elite list of players with a 50-plus average in all three formats. Currently, the Indian skipper is the only person on that list.
