Babar Azam is often compared with Virat Kohli, although there is a huge difference between the records of both. If we look at the recent performance, on one hand Kohli is in great form while on the other hand Babar is going through his worst phase. He is not able to score runs in international cricket, due to which he had to be dropped from the national team several times. Right now Babar is playing in PSL and Kohli in IPL. In the press conference of this league, the journalist asked Babar a question on comparison with Kohli, which he did not like.
That clip of Babar Azam’s press conference is becoming increasingly viral on social media. The journalist asked him, “This is why you are also compared with Virat Kohli. But the way Virat Kohli finishes the matches, why are you not able to finish the matches?” The world calls Kohli a chase master, who has made his team win many times against big teams while chasing the target.
Babar Azam is furious! gave this answer
As soon as Babar Azam heard this question, it seemed that he did not like this question. Interrupting the journalist, he said, “Stop it, leave the way you are asking this question.” However, when the journalist repeated his question, he said, “I have finished many matches, you might think that I have not finished, but I have finished many matches.”

Many former cricketers of Pakistan have also talked about this earlier. Even during the T20 World Cup, Babar Azam’s batting order was reduced. Whereas Virat Kohli has retired from International T20 and Test, he now plays only in ODI format.
Virat Kohli has made a great start in IPL 2026 also. He scored an unbeaten 69 runs in the first match against Sunrisers Hyderabad. He was out after scoring 28 runs against Chennai Super Kings.
On the other hand, Babar Azam is the captain of Peshawar Zalmi in PSL 2026. He had scored 39 runs in the first match of the ongoing edition. In the second match against Kingsmen, he played an important inning of 43 runs.
