Pakistan cricketer, Mohammad Babar Azam made his international debut against Zimbabwe in 2015, has made his mark on an international level within fours years. Having an all-star performance in South Africa, Azam proved his worth as a world class batsman as he was the highest run-scorer in the three-game T20I series while also making the second most runs during the Test series.
Already breaking the Indian skipper’s record for becoming the fastest player to breach the 1000-run mark in the T20I format (26 innings to Kohli’s 27) while also owning the wonderful title of becoming the only batsman to score five consecutive ODI centuries in a single nation, the opener is considered to be one of the finest batsmen to play for Pakistan.
WATCH – Babar Azam Disagrees With His Comparisons With Virat Kohli
Often compared to the Indian skipper for the strikingly similar charisma and the on-field presence the two command, the 24-year-old was once again compared with Kohli after he put on a show against the Proteas.
However, this time, Babar came out in public to give his opinion about the comparisons to an all-time great like Kohli.

The youngster added, “People compare me to Virat Kohli all the time. According to me, he is a great player and I am nowhere near him. My career has just begun. He’s achieved a lot. I still have to do that. If my performances are up to that level then you can compare (our performances) but right now there’s no comparison.”
Everything was well and good. People were happy with the manner in which the young cricketer handled the situation while showing his respect for the Indian skipper.
