IND vs PAK LIVE: For Inzamam Ul Haq, ‘Babar Azam technically better than Virat Kohli’
IND vs PAK LIVE: In an interview with Geo News ahead of the India vs Pakistan match, former captain Inzamam ul Haq has said that while both Babar Azam and Virat Kohli are great batters, it is the former that has a more sound technique. Inzamam, who has scored more than 20,000 international runs, lavished praise o the current Pakistan captain, praising his hunger for runs. He said, “The best thing I like about him is his hunger for runs and eagerness to score big every time; I haven’t seen such hunger in any other player. Another positive thing about his style is that Babar is always focused on his game. I see him breaking several cricketing records.”
Inzamam ul Haq further said that Azam’s peak is yet to come. The former captain added, “A batter’s peak starts after he crosses 30, only then he gets to his peak and gives his best. Babar has yet to enter his 30s and he has already achieved a lot. I believe that his best and his peak is yet to come and he’ll serve Pakistan for a longer period and name almost every batting record to his credit.”

When asked to compare Babar and Kohli, Inzamam said both the players have their own class and own style of batting and scoring runs but expressed his views in favour of the Pakistan captain. He said, “If you look at the cricket Babar has played so far and compare it with Kohli’s numbers in his first few years, you’ll find Babar having an edge over Kohli. “
IND vs PAK LIVE: Inzamam ul Haq further added that Virat Kohli will be under immense pressure considering India’s no show in previous knockout games while captaining the side in the last tournament also will add onto it. Ul Haq said, “Usually both the captains are under pressure in an India-Pakistan World Cup game, but this time Kohli will be under more pressure than Babar. Firstly, he’s leading the favourite side, so naturally, he will be under pressure. Secondly, he has not produced big innings for two years, and then thirdly, this is his last tournament as captain. So, there are many reasons that would keep Kohli under pressure in this match.”
