When you are talking about comparing, look at the runs scored by Virat- Danish Kaneria Virat Kohli, Danish Kaneria & Babar Azam (Photo Source: Getty Images/X) Former Pakistan Test captain Babar Azam is currently out of form. He was dismissed after scoring 31 runs in the first innings of the second Test against Bangladesh. It has been 614 days since Babar Azam scored his last half-century in Tests. Comparison between Babar and Virat Kohli is nothing new. Meanwhile, recently former Pakistani cricketer Danish Kaneria has made a big statement saying that Babar Azam should not be compared to Virat Kohli. Kaneria stressed that Virat’s aura is different and Babar does not even come close to him. Forget comparing Virat-Babar- Danish Kaneria After the end of the second day of the second Test between Pakistan and Bangladesh, Danish Kaneria while talking to Sports Tak said, Who is comparing them? I am tired of hearing people compare them. When you are talking about comparing, look at the runs Virat has scored. He has scored runs all over the world. He is a great player. Look at his stature, when he comes on the field, his aura is different and he (Babar) doesn’t even come close to him, forget comparing them. All this is created by the channels to sell their product. I have got a lot of questions to compare them, but I have never done it. Look at the stats. When both of them retire, definitely look at the stats. Indian star batsman Virat Kohli was the highest run scorer in the ODI World Cup 2023 and IPL 2024. At the same time, he won the Player of the Match title by playing an amazing innings of 76 runs against South Africa in the T20 World Cup 2024 final. Whereas Babar Azam has not been able to show anything special in international cricket so far. Babar Azam was reappointed as Pakistan’s white-ball cricket captain ahead of the T20 World Cup 2024, but the team was eliminated from the tournament after the group stage.
