Former Indian player Irfan Pathan has advised Virat Kohli to improve his performance in Australia and has given a full proof plan for the Sydney ODI.

Will Virat’s form return in Sydney ODI?

Former cricketer Irfan Pathan talked about India’s star batsman Virat Kohli on his YouTube channel. Irfan Pathan said, ‘Two matches, two ducks, we have never seen this before. This does not usually happen. The reason for this could be pressure or being away from cricket for a long time or anything else. A lot is going on on social media regarding this. But we should be careful that it does not affect both the players. If the performance is not better, they will not play.

Irfan Pathan gave advice to Virat Kohli

Irfan Pathan further said, ‘How can Virat Kohli come out of this? He just needs to take a quick single so he can change the strike. When you have 2 ducks to your name, you only need one run. But for this they do not need to be disappointed. If Virat is disappointed then he will not be able to enjoy his batting. He needs to enjoy his batting. As soon as they spend time on the field, runs will start scoring automatically and they will not need to look back. He likes ODI cricket the most.

Babar Azam is compared to the world’s great cricketer Virat Kohli. Although many veterans believe that Virat is much larger than Azam and is ahead in terms of records, so they should not be compared. Former Pakistan cricketer Ahmed Shehzad also believes that both of them should not be compared, although he believes that it increases the pressure on Babur.

In an interview, Shahzad Ahmed said that such comparison increases the non -Nearly pressure on the players, it is clearly visible in Babar Azam’s recent performance. They believe that this comparison is also unfair.

What did Shahzad say to compare Babar Azam with Virat Kohli

He said, “When everything was right, you were running a campaign comparing players. Now that he is not in form, you are saying that do not compare 2 players. Virat Kohli cannot be compared to anyone in the world. He is a legendary player of generation, ideal.”

He further said, “You cannot even compare him to MS Dhoni. Dhoni has undoubtedly been a great captain, but Kohli is alone as a batsman, cricketer and an athlete. No one should compare anyone, it is not right and doing so makes additional pressure on the players. This is clearly seen in Babar Azam’s recent form.”

Babar Azam did not hit any international century for 2 years

The possibility of playing Babar Azam in the upcoming Asia Cup is negligible. He has not played a single T20 match this year, PCB is continuously dropping him. It has been almost 2 years since he scored an international century. Babar Azam scored the last international century against Nepal in 2023.
