New Delhi. There is often a debate about Pakistan captain Babar Azam and former India captain Virat Kohli, who is the better batsman between the two? Talking about the Asia Cup, even though Team India could not make it to the final, Virat Kohli has returned to form in this Asia Cup. On the other hand, this tournament has been disappointing for Pakistan captain Babar so far and he has failed to play big innings. Despite this, the comparison of these two keeps happening. This time, Pakistan coach Saqlain Mushtaq has given his reaction regarding their comparison.
While talking to Sportskeeda, when Saqlain was asked about choosing either of these two, he chose Babar but also gave a special message for Virat Kohli. He said that apparently “I would say Babar but Virat is close to my heart.”
Earlier, the Sri Lankan legend was also asked the same question, in response to which he took the name of Virat Kohli. He said that I like Virat. He is also my son’s favorite player.
Before the Asia Cup, there was a lot of discussion about Virat’s form. This was being said to be his last chance before the T20 World Cup, but in the Asia Cup, his bat played brilliantly and he also ended the drought of three years.
He scored 122 runs in 61 balls in the Super 4 match against Afghanistan and ended the long wait of the fans. His century came after two consecutive half-centuries. This is also the best score by any Indian player in T20 cricket. With this century, he has also equaled Australian legend Ricky Ponting and now he has become the second batsman after Sachin in terms of total centuries.
