Virat kohli vs babar azam: The countdown of Ashiya Cup 2025 has started. The tournament will start from 9 September in the UAE and on September 14, cricket fans will get to see the biggest exciting match, India vs Pakistan. This time the tournament will be played in the smallest format i.e. T20. Keeping in mind the next year’s T20 World Cup, teams have started preparing for their preparations.
This time the Indian team will take the field without their three big star players- Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Ravindra Jadeja. At the same time, Pakistan team may have its star batsman and former captain Babar Azam, if selectors choose them in the team. This means that this time the fans will not get to see Virat and Babur’s face in the Asia Cup, but the question is, who is heavy in the figures so far?
Virat dominates Asia Cup
Virat Kohli played his first Asia Cup in 2010. So far, in 13 innings of 16 matches, he has scored a total of 742 runs at an average of 61.83. His biggest score of his white ball career was also 183 runs in the Asia Cup. Apart from this, Virat has 4 centuries in the tournament, so that he remains jointly second with Kumar Sangakkara of Sri Lanka. At the same time, the record of the most centuries is the name of Sanat Jayasuriya.
Babar Azam’s performance
Babar Azam made his debut in the Asia Cup in 2018. He has scored 363 runs in 9 innings of 10 matches, including only 1 century and 1 half -century. The figures clearly show that Babur’s performance in the Asia Cup has not reached Virat’s level.
ODI records clash
Virat Kohli’s international debut was made in 2008, while Babar Azam played his first international match in 2015. Virat has so far scored 14,181 runs in 302 ODIs and has scored 51 centuries, which is a world record in itself. At the same time, Babar Azam has 6,282 runs and 19 centuries in 133 ODIs.
