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.

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.

Bolton further said- Because you want to touch a strike rate of 50. If you make 100 or 100 runs in 150 balls, but still the team loses, then it does not mean anything.

There is no doubt that Jurel has talent…but it took 15-20 years for MS Dhoni to become MS Dhoni. So let him (Jurel) play. His ability impressed me the most. His ability to play spinners, his ability to play against fast bowlers. His ability to play under pressure is what you want to see in a young player. He also has a good temperament.” In fact, during the commentary in the fourth Test match, Sunil Gavaskar said, “Of course he has batted well, but his keeping and his work behind the stumps have been equally excellent. Looking at his sporting awareness, I want to say that he is the second emerging MS Dhoni.

He is a street-smart cricketer.” Let us tell you that the fifth and last match of the series will be played from March 7 at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association (HPCA) Stadium in Dharamshala.

Regarding this issue, former Indian player and cricket commentator Gautam Gambhir has said many times that – I want to congratulate this young player for his achievement, but more importantly, I want to tell everyone to let this young player play.
