I have learnt a lot from Virat Kohli, says Babar Azam

Experts and fans often compare India’s premier batsman Virat Kohli and Pakistan star batsman Babar Azam due to their remarkable consistency and abilities. Ahead of the high-voltage match between the arch-rivals, the comparison has surfaced again.

However, there is a profound mutual respect between Virat and Babar. When questioned about the constant comparisons with Kohli, Babar stressed that he holds Kohli in high regard and that he has been taught to respect his seniors.

“Let’s leave the debate to the fans who do it. I don’t want to comment anything on it. Everyone has a point of view. There is definitely mutual respect. He is elder to me and I have been taught to respect our elders, no matter which country they are from,” said Babar during the press conference.

“I have learnt a lot from him. When I started my career, I listened to a lot of his interviews. I talked to him in 2019 and it helped me as well. I can’t tell you the details about it. The mutual understanding between all of us players, from all countries, not just India, is pretty well,” he added.
