The two most effective batsmen in international cricket are Virat Kohli and Babar Azam. The two are often at odds and opinions differ. Former Pakistani fast bowler Naved-ul-Hasan is the most recent cricketer to comment on the rivalry.

Babar Azam is a hugely popular cricketer in his country and is seen as someone who could potentially end up as Pakistan’s greatest ever batsman. However, former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi feels that Babar is still a work in progress as far as the GOAT status is concerned.
Afridi also said that despite being world-class, Babar is still not in the league of match-winners like Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers. A big reason for this is that Babar has still not won as many matches for Pakistan as Kohli and de Villiers did when they were at the top of their game.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) revealed the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 schedule earlier this month and the campaigning for India vs Pakistan has already begun. The arch-rivals will play each other on October 15 at the world’s largest cricket stadium, the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
