“Virat Kohli is the greatest”- Harbhajan Singh; Shoaib Akhtar says people are too harsh on Babar Azam

Virat Kohli and Babar Azam are often compared by their fans on social media.

Former cricketers Harbhajan Singh and Shoaib Akhtar talked about the comparison between Virat Kohli and Babar Azam and shared their views about the two batters, who are considered to be the best in the business today.

Harbhajan Singh spoke about Virat Kohli and said that he was the greatest, but while opining on Babar Azam, he said that the Pakistani skipper had a long way to go before achieving that greatness.

“Virat Kohli has established himself as a great, while Babar Azam still has a lot to do. He will reach there someday, as he is a wonderful player. He is very good in Test cricket, but maybe T20 doesn’t suit him a lot,” Harbhajan said on his YouTube channel.

Harbhajan was then joined by former Pakistani speedster Shoaib Akhtar, who said that Azam is improving rapidly and slammed critics for being too harsh on him.

“Virat Kohli is the greatest, and Babar Azam is in the making to be the greatest batsman ever. He is trying to get better in T20s. People are behind him for no reason,” Akhtar added.

The comparisons between Kohli and Azam, or India and Pakistan players, will grow as the ODI World Cup inches closer. India and Pakistan are due to play in the Asia Cup before it.
