Virat Kohli: If we talk about the greatest batsman in cricket in the current era, the first name that will come is that of Team India's legendary batsman Virat Kohli. This is why when any young player performs well, he is compared to Kohli.

In this episode, there is a player who has not scored a single fifty in the last 16 innings but even then he is compared to Kohli. Because of this player, the team has had to face defeat in the last few matches.

This player has not scored a single fifty in the last 16 innings

Actually, the player we are talking about here is not any player from Team India but Pakistan batsman Babar Azam.

Babar has performed disappointingly in Test cricket for some time now and he has not been able to score even a half-century in this format in the last 16 innings.

If we talk about Babar's best score in the last 16 innings, it has been 41 runs, which he scored against Australia in Melbourne this year. Babar last crossed the 50-plus run mark in Test cricket on 26 December 2022, when he played an innings of 161 runs against New Zealand in Karachi.

Pakistan compares Babar with Virat Kohli

Let us tell you that Pakistani fans compare Babar Azam with Virat Kohli and many times call Azam a bigger player than Virat. Not only this, former Pakistani players also compare Virat and Babar but Azam has not played any such memorable innings in his career so far.

The right-handed batsman often flops in big matches and his performance in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 was also not very good. However, even after this people compare Babar with Virat.

Babar's bat did not work in the Test series against Bangladesh

Actually, a two-match Test series is being played between Bangladesh and Pakistan at this time. Azam's bat remained silent in this series too and this was one of the main reasons why his team had to face defeat in the first Test match against the Bangladeshi team.

If we talk about Babar's performance in this series, he has scored only 64 runs in 4 innings of 2 matches with a very ordinary average of 16.

During this, his best score has been 31 runs.
