Virat Kohli brought a lot of strength to the Indian team during his captaincy: Harbhajan Singh
Harbhajan and Virat have played a lot of cricket together for India and in the IPL. Harbhajan Singh and Virat Kohli (Image Credit- Twitter Harbhajan Singh, famous as former legendary spinner and turbanator, has recently given a big statement about former Indian captain and legendary batsman Virat Kohli. Harbhajan says that even though Team India did not win the World Cup under Kohli’s captaincy, his captaincy brought a lot of strength to the team, which brought a big change in the thinking of the team. It was because of this change that India won the historic Border-Gavaskar Test series in Australia during the year 2020-21. Let us tell you that Kohli left this series midway and returned to India due to the birth of his first child. It is noteworthy that Virat captained the Indian team in a total of 213 matches in all three formats, in which India won 135 matches.

Harbhajan Singh gave a big statement Let us tell you that in a recent interview with Sports Yaari, Harbhajan said about Virat Kohli – You may not have won the World Cup under Kohli’s captaincy, but it does not make him any less captain or any less player. The fire he lit in the team, like if there is a target of 400 runs in the fourth innings of the Test, we will go to chase, we will not panic. If we go down, we do so in pursuit. This requires a lot of courage and brain, which Kohli instilled in the team and filled it with strength. On the other hand, Kohli was recently seen playing in the two-match Test series against Bangladesh, but nothing special was seen from his bat. Kohli could score only 99 runs during this period. It will be interesting to see how Kohli is going to perform in the upcoming three-match Test series against New Zealand?
Virat Kohli will be remembered as a great player, while Babar Azam…: Mudassar Nazar
Former Pakistan all-rounder Mudassar Nazar termed the comparison between Virat Kohli and Babar Azam as nonsense and said that there is a lot of difference between the two players. Babar Azam Virat Kohli (Photo Source: Twitter) Often on social media, fans of Pakistan and Babar Azam compare him with one of the great batsmen, Virat Kohli. Now former Pakistan all-rounder Mudassar Nazar termed the comparison between Virat Kohli and Babar Azam as nonsense and said that there is a lot of difference between the two players. According to Mudassar, Kohli is one of the great players of the game, while Babar is still to make a name for himself. Kohli and Babar are counted among the best batsmen of the present era. Both the players admire each other a lot and have expressed this openly on many occasions. Fans of India and Pakistan constantly make comparisons between the two, but Mudassar believes that both the players are not even in the same league yet. Speaking to news agency PTI, he said: There is a world of difference between Virat Kohli and Babar Azam: Mudassar Nazar “I mean there’s a lot of difference between the two players. Virat will be remembered as one of the greatest players to grace the game. At the same time, Babar still has to make a name for himself.” Like watching Rohit and Kohli bat: Mudassar Nazar The 68-year-old praised Kohli and India’s Test and ODI captain Rohit Sharma, saying it was a great experience to watch them bat at their peak. Mudassar said, “I love watching Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli play. When they are at their peak and playing well, it is great to watch them play. You can sit in front of the TV for hours and watch those two play.” Rohit and Kohli were part of India’s 2024 T20 World Cup victory. Rohit was India’s leading run-scorer in the tournament, with 257 runs in eight innings, while Kohli top-scored with 76 runs from 59 balls in the final. Comparison between Kohli and Babar is nonsense: Zaheer Abbas Before Mudassar, former Pakistan legend Zaheer Abbas had also termed the comparison between Kohli and Babar as baseless. Speaking at the Cricket Prediction Conclave, he was quoted by Cricket Pakistan as saying: He said, “Comparison is useless, Virat Kohli scores runs in every match, whereas Babar does not score runs in any match, then how can you compare? The one who scores runs is a big player.” Kohli (35) is the fourth highest run scorer in international cricket. In 535 matches (595 innings), he has scored 27,041 runs at an average of 53.23, which includes 80 centuries and 140 half-centuries. Babar has scored 13,836 runs in 294 matches (328 innings) at an average of 47.54, which includes 31 centuries and 94 half-centuries.
