Former Indian cricketer Dinesh Karthik said that he does not find it right to compare Babar Azam with Virat Kohli. He said this after Babar was out after playing bad shots against India in the T20 World Cup. Let us tell you that both India and Pakistan have qualified in Super-8. But both are in different groups.
Dinesh Karthik also raised questions on Babar Azam’s shot selection. He was bowled by Akshar Patel after playing a bad shot, he scored only 5 runs in 7 balls. The effect of this was that against Namibia he was not sent to bat even at number 5, which was also seen as an insult to him.
What did Dinesh Karthik say?
Karthik said on Cricbuzz, “I can’t imagine that Virat Kohli will play this kind of shot at the beginning of the innings. He does not have the confidence in what to do to win or what to do to take his team closer to victory.”
Chasing 176 runs against India, Pakistan was in trouble when Babar Azam came to bat at number four. The most experienced batsman of the team was expected to take charge of the team, but he got bowled after playing a bad shot. Karthik said that it was Babar’s responsibility to lead the team while chasing and handle this pressure situation. Chase master Virat Kohli has done this many times in the last so many years.
Karthik further said, “What makes you great is how much pressure you bear. Not every match can be easy, where you just play a few shots.” The former Indian cricketer said that Babar is not even close to becoming the best batsman in the world.
