Babar Azam supported living in the same league as ‘Viv Richards, Gary Sobers’ and ‘Virat Kohli bigger than’.

It has been for a few years for Pakistan cricket team batsman Babar Azam. Babur, who was once given status as one of the top batsmen in the world, struggling to score runs in all three formats, and ICC competitions resulted in his poor show as a result of his bad show as well as experts. Star Batter was also demolished by Pakistan after his disappointing Champions Trophy campaign. However, the Pakistan Super League (PSL) has supported Babur to bounce back Babur and become a big cricketer than Virat Kohli. Iqbal said that Babur ended matching legends such as Sir Viv Richards and Sir Garfield Sobers on May.
“I am telling you. Mark my words, when Babar Azam returns again, he will be a big player than any other player in the world including Virat Kohli. He will be matched with names like Gary Sobers and Sir Viv Richards,” Iqbal said on Arya Podcast.
He said, “He has that class element. When someone has a class … class is permanent, you cannot change it. The style is always permanent. He will come back … he will come back with a bang,” he said.
After Babur’s flop show with the bat in the Pakistan Super League (PSL), former cricketer Basit Ali has urged the head of Pakistan to learn India’s stallwart Virat Kohli.
Babur, who led Peshawar Zalmi in PSL, has continued to work for his run after his dry magic in international cricket. Since his 151 -run Blitzcrayg against Nepal in 2023, Babur is not yet a century for Pakistan. Even the lack of his appearance has affected his captaincy. With Babur on the hull, Zalmi has tolerated two vigorous necklaces on the trot.
With Zalmi struggling as a unit, Babur’s personal conflict has added his growing crises. During the recent 102-run of the Zalmi at the hands of Islamabad United, Babur was a no-show in search of the 244-ri target.
Basit tampered with Babur for his captaincy defeat in the ongoing PSL. He urged Babur to leave the captaincy and focus on his game. To make his case, he also cited the example of Virat, who retired from T20I last year and has taken a step back from the captaincy of Royal Challengers Bangalore in IPL to focus on his cricket.
The 54-year-old urged Babur to learn from the Indian batting master and said on his YouTube channel, “Babur should leave the captaincy and focus on his cricket. Chasing the 240-Plus target, he removed a catch to slip and removed him to get him out.
He said, “I will give an example of Virat Kohli. He retired from T20I, and he is not even the captain of RCB. If you follow him, learn something from him. You should play as a batsman,” he said.
