Virat and Babar cannot be compared because Indian players…: Zaheer Abbas made a surprising revelation

Zaheer Abbas has said that Virat Kohli and Babar Azam cannot be compared because the experienced batsman of the Indian team is far ahead of the Pakistani player. Virat Kohli and Babar Azam. (Image Source: X) Former player Zaheer Abbas has said that Virat Kohli and Babar Azam cannot be compared because the experienced batsman of the Indian team is far ahead of the Pakistani player. Let us tell you that Virat Kohli started his international cricket career much before Babar Azam, but despite this, there is always a clash between the fans of these two players regarding who is the better batsman. There are many records that Virat Kohli has made and broken. Virat Kohli has scored more than 27000 runs in his international cricket career which includes 80 centuries. Whereas Babar Azam has scored 31 centuries so far and is close to 14000 runs. Virat Kohli scored runs at an average above 66 in 2023 while Babar Azam averaged below 40. According to Cricket Pakistan, during the conversation, Zaheer Abbas said, ‘It is useless to compare between these two players. Virat Kohli scores runs in every match whereas Babar Azam does not score runs in any match, so how can these two be compared? The person who scores runs is a better player. Babar Azam should be removed from the team if he is not scoring runs. This is also because he is our important batsman and if he is not making big scores then he should be dropped from the team. Team India defeated Bangladesh 2-0 in the test series Let us tell you that Team India defeated Bangladesh 2-0 in the two-match Test series. Even though Virat Kohli could not score big in this match, he scored important runs for his team. His performance in international cricket has always been excellent. Talking about Babar Azam, he has not been seen playing important innings for the team for a long time. Before playing the Test series against India, Bangladesh played a two-match Test series against Pakistan, which they won 2-0.

Babar Azam continued his fine form in the new Champions One-Day Cup tournament, smashing fours on five consecutive balls off pacer Shahnawaz Dahani in Faisalabad on Sunday 15 September. Babar Azam (Source X) Pakistan batsman Babar Azam has been struggling with poor form for some time, and due to this he is being criticized a lot. At present, the situation is such that he may lose his place in the team because the Pakistan Cricket Board is engaged in ‘surgery’ of the team. Actually, the board wants to remove the players who are playing poorly and in such a situation it is looking for new players. To identify the talent of the players, a domestic tournament ‘One-Day Cup 2024’ is being played in Pakistan. From big to small cricketers of the Pakistan team are participating in this tournament.

He also displayed his trademark backfoot punch and front-foot pull.

‘I was surprised’ Imad Wasim on Babar Azam becoming the captain of Pakistan cricket team again

After Shaheen Afridi was removed from captaincy, Babar has once again been made the captain. Imad Wasim and Babar Azam (Image Credit- Twitter Pakistan cricket team’s all-rounder Imad Wasim has recently made a big statement on the decision of the Pakistan Cricket Board to appoint Babar Azam as the captain again. Imad Wasim says that not only he but the whole country was surprised by this decision of the PCB. It is worth noting that after the Cricket World Cup 2023 held in India, Babar Azam left the captaincy of Pakistan in all three formats. After this, PCB handed over the captaincy to Shan Masood in Test cricket and Shaheen Afridi in T20 format. However, after losing the T20 series against New Zealand 4-1, the PCB removed Shaheen from the captaincy and once again made Babar Azam the captain of the team in white ball cricket. This was Shaheen’s first series as captain. On the other hand, now Imad Wasim has given a big statement on all this. Wasim says that Pakistan has once again flopped under the leadership of Babar and now his captaincy is in danger. Imad Wasim gave a big statement Let us tell you that in a recent interview with Saj Sadiq, Imad Wasim said – I was surprised, what can I say about this. But in the end it was the decision of the selectors. Whatever option they thought was good, they chose it and after that selected the team. Not only me but everyone in Pakistan was surprised. So, I cannot say that I was not surprised. Imad further said on Pakistan’s defeat in the T20 World Cup- Yes, honestly, our performance was not good and we have to accept it, including me. I think our team was good, but it did not succeed. This can happen in any format, especially in T20, but yes, it was disappointing. I was really disappointed, it took me a long time to recover from it.

“Iyer does not get a place in any of the four teams of Duleep Trophy”- Pak cricketer spews venom on Shreyas

Shreyas Iyer (Image Credit- Twitter X) Team India’s middle order batsman Shreyas Iyer, who started his Test career in a good way, is not even being considered in the Test format at the moment. His scores in the current edition of the Duleep Trophy so far are 9, 54 and 0. He has not been able to do anything special with the bat so far and its effect is now visible on his captaincy as well. Meanwhile, former Pakistani cricketer Basit Ali has strongly criticized Iyer. Basit apologized to the Indians while criticizing Iyer. Let us tell you that Iyer was out on zero after playing 7 balls in the first innings in the second round of Duleep Trophy. Basit Ali made a sharp comment on Shreyas Iyer Basit said on his YouTube channel, “As a cricketer, it is sad to see that despite playing in the top order, Shreyas Iyer’s bat did not work. He came at number three. Whether he gets out in the slip or caught behind is not an issue. But if you are getting out in front, it means that your concentration is not in cricket, especially in the red ball format. I am saying this sentence with apologies. He scored two centuries in the ODI World Cup. He won the IPL 2024 trophy as captain. He should score centuries and double centuries in the Duleep Trophy.” He further said, “Iyer is lucky that Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane were not selected in any of the four teams of Duleep Trophy. I feel that Iyer has no hunger left for red ball cricket. I feel that he is only hungry for boundaries. This should not happen. He should give priority to cricket. If Iyer thinks that by scoring two centuries in the World Cup, he has become a player like Virat Kohli, then this is not the case at all. Virat Kohli’s level is different.” The former cricketer further said, “I want to say one thing to those who like Iyer. I am saying this with apologies to Indians that if Basit Ali was an Indian cricketer, Iyer would not have got a place in any of the four teams of Duleep Trophy. I say what is in my heart. If you are bad people then sorry. Iyer should respect cricket. He is not respecting cricket.”

“It is unfair to remove him from captaincy”- Former Pak player came out in support of Shaheen Afridi

Shaheen Afridi (Image Credit- Twitter X) Former Pakistan cricketer Moin Khan has criticized the decision to remove Shaheen Shah Afridi from the white ball captaincy, saying that it was unfair. He has again advocated for Afridi to be made the captain again. He has slammed the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). He also indirectly targeted Babar Azam, who is currently the captain of Pakistan’s ODI and T20 team. Let us tell you that after the ODI World Cup last year, Babar resigned from the captaincy of all three formats. After that Shaheen was made the captain of T20 and Shan Masood was made the captain of Test format. Shaheen had to lose the captaincy after just one series. Under his captaincy, Pakistan lost 1-4 in the five-match T20 series on the New Zealand tour. After taking over the captaincy from Shaheen, the PCB appointed Babar as the captain of the white ball team. Moeen Khan gave a big statement on Shaheen Afridi being stripped of captaincy According to media reports, former Test captain Moeen said, “Shaheen Afridi has the ability to lead the team and the players like him very much. He is the best choice for captaincy in T20. I don’t think anyone else is more suitable than him to take up the responsibility of captain in white ball cricket. It was unfair to remove him from captaincy.” Moeen, who played 69 Tests and 219 ODIs in his career, said that Pakistan should maintain faith in a captain for a long time. He said, “If there are constant changes, the players will not listen to their captain. If the cricket board gives full support to the captain and assures him of long-term responsibility, the team’s performance will improve.” Babar’s reappointment as Pakistan captain did not go well for the team. Pakistan could not progress beyond the group stage in the T20 World Cup 2024. Pakistan was heavily criticized after the defeat against the USA. After this Moeen said, “Azam was not given a chance to wicketkeep after one match and he was dropped after getting out on the very first ball (against the USA). Any player can get out on the first ball, but the tradition of developing players that used to exist here is no longer there. Be it the captain or the management, if they keep changing players so frequently then how can we prepare good players?

VIDEO: Babar Azam seen in attitude when fan took selfie, video went viral

According to the viral video, Babar refused to let the fans put their hands on his shoulders. Babar Azam (Image Credit- Twitter X) A video of former Pakistan cricket team captain Babar Azam is rapidly going viral on the internet. In this video, Babar is seen with a lot of attitude with a fan. But the fans did not like this attitude of Babar at all. It is worth noting that at present Babar is playing for the Stallions in Pakistan’s domestic cricket tournament Champions ODI Cup 2024. So when he was on the field for practice during the match, a fan asked him to take a selfie, and during this the fan wanted to put his hand on Babar’s shoulder. But Babar removed that fan’s hand from his shoulder and after that simply posed for a photo with the fan. As soon as the video of this incident started going viral on social media, fans started calling Babar the Attitude King. Watch this video of Babar Azam with his fan Performance 0 Attitude 💯 Babar Azam for you 😁 pic.twitter.com/uA5qoMVB54 — Asad Sultan (@sultanawan143) September 9, 2024 It is worth noting that Babar Azam was once again made the captain of the white ball team before the T20 World Cup 2024. But the team had to be eliminated from the league stage itself after losing shamefully to USA in the tournament. Recently, Bangladesh defeated Pakistan 2-0 in the two-match home Test series. After this, speculations once again intensified that the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) may change the captaincy. But recently a senior PCB source in an interview to PTI was quoted by India Today as saying- There has been no discussion on changing the captains, as PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi has left the decision on captaincy to the two coaches and selectors. Gary Kirsten and Jason Gillispie are very clear that both Shan and Babar need to be given proper time before their leadership abilities can be assessed.
