Mohammad Amir comments on Babar Azam-Virat Kohli comparison.
Former Pakistani pacer Mohammad Amir has weighed in on the frequently debated comparisons between Pakistan’s star batter Babar Azam and India’s cricketing legend Virat Kohli, terming the debate “funny.”
Speaking on a sports talk show, Amir praised Virat Kohli as the greatest batter of the current generation and dismissed comparisons with any contemporary players, including Babar Azam, Steve Smith, and Joe Root.
“Virat Kohli is the greatest player of this generation, I laugh when comparisons are made between him and Babar Azam, Steve Smith, or Joe Root,” Amir stated.
“We cannot compare Virat Kohli to anyone because he has won so many matches for India, which seems impossible for any one player. Not just in one format, but in all three formats, Virat is the greatest batsman of this generation.”
