Recently, Abdul Razzaq in an exclusive statement states ‘Virat Kohli’s Fitness is better than Babar Azam.’
He continued: “Virat is a superb player who excels in his craft. The fact that he travels with his team is the best part. He always has the best of intentions. He uses his abilities to great effect. His world-class fitness is the most important aspect. Unlike Virat Kohli, Babar Azam is not as physically fit. Babar needs to improve his physical fitness.”
Pakistan’s top athlete is Babar. In fact, Babar is the top batter in the world (ODIs). He has consistently played well in every type of game, including Tests, ODIs, and T20Is. There is a player like them (Virat and Babar) in every nation. We don’t have to contrast them. These comparisons are bad; it’s like asking who is better, Kapil Dev or Imran Khan.
In India, Kohli is a good player. In a similar vein, Pakistan’s Babar Azam is a top athlete. Babar and Kohli are both elite athletes. However, Babar is significantly less fit than Kohli.
Further when he was asked about, Which Indian bowlers and batsmen did Pakistan plan for the most when they were playing?
He replied that Virender Sehwag posed the greatest threat. Sachin Tendulkar came next. Pakistan used to make plans to stop Sehwag and Tendulkar. We used to think that if we could take out Sehwag and Tendulkar, we would win the game.
Our batsmen used to prepare strategies to counter Zaheer Khan’s bowling. Irfan Pathan spent some time there as well. There was also Harbhajan Singh. These were the well-known athletes who represented their nation in significant competitions.
When Abdul Razzaq, was asked about who is the best batsman?
The argument over who is a better batsman—Virat Kohli or Babar Azam—went on for a while, but in the end, most experts gave Virat a higher rating than Babar, largely because Virat simply has better statistics and is far ahead of Babar on most lists of centuries.
Babar has so far scored 28 international centuries across formats, trailing only Sachin Tendulkar in terms of most international centuries (75 tons). However, it is important to keep in mind that Virat scored his first century for India in 2008, seven years before Babar was given his debut for Pakistan.
