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.
‘Is he worthy of becoming a player worth Rs 18 crore?’ Tom Moody does not want to see this player in MI team
Let us know about which player did Moody say this? Tom Moody (Image Credit- Twitter X) IPL 2025: Recently, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has issued new rules to retain players in IPL. According to the new rules, teams will be able to retain a maximum of 6 players in the team. In the new rule, BCCI has divided the retained players into three slabs. In which teams can retain two players for Rs 18 crore each, some players for Rs 14 crore and one player for a maximum amount of Rs 11 crore. However, now a big statement has come out from former Australian cricketer and former head coach of Sunrisers Hyderabad team Tom Moody regarding these new slabs. Regarding the retention of players in the Mumbai team, he has said whether Hardik Pandya is worth the retention of Rs 18 crore in the Mumbai team. Tom Moody gave a big statement Let us tell you that recently Tom Moody, quoting ESPN Cricinfo, said – Rohit Sharma must have been a little disappointed with the way things happened in the last season of IPL, and what happened in the last 6-12 months. For me, the 18 crore slab for Mumbai leaves Suryakumar Yadav and Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik at the 14 crore slab. It is up to the team to monitor his (Hardik) performance, form and fitness. But when you analyze these things with Hardik, does he deserve to be a player worth Rs 18 crore? Is he worth it? If you want to be a Rs 18 crore player, you have to be a real match winner and do it regularly. Hardik Pandya, during his trials and tribulations in the IPL last season, struggled with both fitness and performance. But this match winner could be Tilak Verma.
IND vs BAN: Even though his figures are not so big but…: Former player praised Jasprit Bumrah
According to RP Singh, Jasprit Bumrah will be very sad that he is not getting the Player of the Match or Player of the Series award. Jasprit Bumrah (Source X) Team India defeated Bangladesh by 7 wickets in the second Test match played in Kanpur and won the two-match Test series 2-0. In this Test series, Jasprit Bumrah played an important role in the victory of his team by bowling brilliantly for the Indian team. Let us tell you that there was no player from Bangladesh who could bat brilliantly against Jasprit Bumrah. Not only this, Jasprit Bumrah has bowled lethally in all formats of international cricket for a long time and has won the hearts of many fans. Recently, former fast bowler RP Singh has praised Jasprit Bumrah a lot. According to RP Singh, Jasprit Bumrah will be very sad that he is not getting the Player of the Match or Player of the Series award. RP Singh said, ‘I don’t think anything like this would be going on in his mind because he himself knows what kind of player the brilliant fast bowler is. Without him, it is very difficult for any captain to hold the match, especially in Indian conditions. If Jasprit Bumrah is not in the team then the match will be even longer. Jasprit Bumrah is one of the important players for Team India: RP Singh The former player further said, ‘If we see his impact after 15 to 20 years, his figures may not be so big but I think he is the best medium pace bowler of the decade. No matter what the situation or what format or stage of the game, he always gets wickets for his captain. Jasprit Bumrah is one of the important players of his team. He must have felt bad that he did not get the Player of the Match or Series award in this Test series. This is also because no matter what the situation, Bumrah definitely takes wickets for his team. Even in the Kanpur Test, he took important wickets and put his team in a strong position.

Shocking statement of Shan Masood, this 24 year old Pakistani player is better than Virat Kohli
The 3-match Test series between Pakistan and England is going to start in Multan from 7th October. Shan Masood (Photo Source: Getty Images) There is a lot of turmoil in Pakistan cricket at the moment. Recently, they had lost in the Test series against Bangladesh, after which questions were raised on Shan Masood’s Test captaincy. Meanwhile, Pakistan Test team captain Shan Masood has given such a statement which has made him the target of many people. Pakistan cricket team is ready to play test series against England at home. This 3-match test series will start from October 7 in Multan. Meanwhile, Pakistan Test team captain Shan Masood has given a big statement which many people are not liking. Actually, Shan Masood has spoken too much in praise of Pakistan’s opening batsman Abdullah Shafiq. He has described this 24 year old batsman as better than Virat Kohli. Shan Masood, in response to a question citing the comparison of statistics between Virat Kohli and Abdullah Shafiq, said that the Pakistan opener’s statistics in Test cricket are better than the star Indian batsman’s initial years. Pakistan Test team has been announced for the first Test of the series against England. Masood has been retained as the captain of the team while fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi has returned to the team. Shaheen Afridi gave strange statement regarding Virat Kohli Shaheen did not get a place in the second and final Test against Bangladesh. Quoting Sportskeeda, journalists asked Shan Masood whether it is Abdullah Shafiq or Sam Ayub, the same type of players are playing T20 and Test. In response to this, the captain replied that he does not think your question is correct… He agrees that Pakistan has not played good cricket in 2024 but it is wrong to mix and compare Test performance with T20. He further said that things should be looked at objectively. You talk about statistics. The other day he kept looking at the record that Abdullah Shafiq, who has played 19 Tests, has a better record than Virat Kohli. There is no doubt that Shafiq’s figures in the first 19 Test matches may be better than Kohli’s, but this statement of Shan Masood has started a new kind of debate. Let us tell you that in the first 19 Test matches, Virat Kohli had scored 1178 runs in 32 innings at an average of 40.62, whereas Shafiq had scored 1372 runs in 36 innings of 19 matches at an average of 40.35.
IND vs BAN, 2nd Test: What did the Player of the Match and the captains of both the teams say after the match? Know here-
India won the second test match against Bangladesh by 7 wickets. IND vs BAN, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rohit Sharma & Najmul Hossain Shanto (Photo Source: X/Twitter) IND vs BAN, 2nd Test: The last match of the two-match Test series between India and Bangladesh was played in Kanpur from 27 September. India won by 7 wickets and captured the series 2-0. Let us tell you, due to rain and wet outfield, the play on the second and third days was canceled without even a single ball being bowled. The fourth day’s play was played in an exciting manner. Bangladesh team was all out for 233 runs in the first innings and Team India declared the first innings at 285/9 in 34.4 overs. Yashasvi Jaiswal (72), Shubman Gill (39), Virat Kohli (47) and KL Rahul (68) played explosive innings. On the fifth day of the game, due to India’s brilliant bowling, Bangladesh team was all out for 146 runs in the second innings. Jasprit Bumrah, Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja took 3 wickets each. Host India had a target of 95 runs to win, which they achieved within 18 overs. Yashasvi Jaiswal scored 51 runs in 45 balls and Virat Kohli played an unbeaten inning of 29 runs in 37 balls. Let us tell you what the Player of the Match and the captains of both the countries said in the post match presentation after the second test- IND vs BAN: What did the losing captain Nazmul Hussain Shanto say- We did not bat well in both the test matches. In these conditions we will have to bat well. If you look at our batsmen – we played 30-40 balls and got out. This is important in a Test match, when the batsmen take the field, you should try to score big runs. The way Ashwin and Jaddu batted at that time – they batted really well. As a bowling unit we need to look at those moments – how we can take wickets. Because of that partnership we lost that match. The way Mominul batted in this innings, it will help in moving forward. And Mirage was bowled in both innings – he bowled really well. What did winning captain Rohit Sharma say- We all move forward in life and at some stage or the other you have to work with different people. When Rahul bhai said that his game is over, it was a great time for us. Then life moves on and as a team we had to move forward. With Gautam Gambhir…I have played with him and what his mentality is like. It’s still early days, but very successful. To be honest, we had to think a lot to take the game forward. When we came on the fourth day, we wanted to get them out as quickly as possible and see what we could do with the bat. It was not about the runs we scored but the overs we wanted to give them. The pitch didn’t offer much for the bowlers, but it was a brilliant effort…
MS Dhoni will be seen playing as an ‘uncapped’ player in IPL 2025, know what is the whole matter
Under the captaincy of Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Chennai Super Kings has won the trophy of this important tournament five times. MS Dhoni (Image Credit- Twitter X) Mahendra Singh Dhoni is the most legendary player of Chennai Super Kings. Under the captaincy of Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Chennai Super Kings has won the trophy of this important tournament five times. Let us tell you that after captaining Chennai Super Kings for 15 years, this veteran player had resigned from this important post before the 2024 season, after which this important responsibility was handed over to Ruturaj Gaikwad. When Dhoni had resigned from the post of captain of Chennai team, many people had expressed their views regarding whether he would be seen playing only as a player in IPL 2025. However, before the start of IPL 2025, the Board of Control for Cricket in India has taken an important decision regarding the retention rule. All franchises will be allowed to retain a maximum of 6 players which may include five capped (Indian or overseas) and two uncapped players. This can be done through the option of retention or right to match. Chennai Super Kings can use this rule well. The former Team India captain could be retained in the uncapped slot as Mahendra Singh Dhoni has retired from international cricket in 2020. If Chennai Super Kings retains Dhoni under this rule then they will get Rs 4 crore instead of Rs 12 crore. Know what is the retention rule? Under this rule, a capped Indian player will become uncapped if he has not played in the starting eleven in international cricket in the five calendar years preceding the relevant season or does not have a central contract with the BCCI. This will be applicable only for Indian players. Earlier, Mahendra Singh Dhoni had said about his return, ‘We will have to see what decision the board takes regarding the retention of players. The ball is not in our court at this time. So once the rules are announced I will take my decision then. It also has to be seen whether the team reposes confidence in me or not.

Hardik Pandya will never be able to return to Test cricket, former Indian player dismisses all speculations
He (Hardik Pandya) was practicing only with red-ball because white-ball was not available – Parthiv Patel Hardik Pandya & Parthiv Patel (Photo Source: X/Twitter) Indian all-rounder Hardik Pandya was recently seen practicing with the red ball, after which the news of his return to Test cricket has intensified. Meanwhile, former Indian wicketkeeper Parthiv Patel has dismissed all reports of Hardik Pandya returning to the longest format of the game. Parthiv says that Hardik’s body is not in a condition to withstand the rigors of the five-day format. I am not seeing Hardik Pandya in Test – Parthiv Patel While talking about Hardik Pandya’s return to the Test format in a recent interview given to Hindustan Times, Parthiv Patel said that Hardik was practicing with the red ball because the white ball was not available. I am not seeing Hardik Pandya (in Tests). He was practicing only with the red-ball as the white-ball was not available. I don’t think his body allows him to play four-day and five-day matches. He will have to play at least one first-class match (before being considered for Test selection), which is very unlikely. Hardik Pandya last played a Test match for India in 2018 against England in Southampton. After this, continuous injuries kept him away from Test cricket. The all-rounder has scored 532 runs for India in 11 Test matches at an average of 31.29, which includes one century and 4 half-centuries. At the same time, he has also taken 17 wickets at an average of 31.05. Yash Dayal had to be given a chance in the second test – Parthiv Patel The second match of the Test series is currently being played between India and Bangladesh in Kanpur. However, the second day’s play has been canceled due to rain. Parthiv Patel says that Team India could have given a chance to Yash Dayal in the Kanpur Test. Because then the team will not be able to experiment in the upcoming Test series against New Zealand. India had a chance to use Yash Dayal in the second test. I am not underestimating Bangladesh, but if this Test match is drawn, it is very important to keep in mind that the next series will be against New Zealand, and then they will not be in a position to experiment.
