It seems that former Pakistan opener Salman Butt does not believe in Babar Azam's ability. Because, if he had, he would never have given the kind of statement that he has given. Salman Butt has objected to the comparison of Babar Azam with Virat Kohli, Joe Root, Steve Smith or Kane Williamson. He said that it would not be right to do so because Babar Azam can be Pakistan's best batsman, not more than that. Now when people associated with Pakistan cricket do not think that Babar Azam is capable of being included in the Fab Four, then what can others say?

Babar is simply Pakistan's best batsman - Salman Butt

Salman Butt's statement on Babar Azam has been in the news ever since it came out.

The reason for it being in the news is clear that it is not right to compare Babar Azam with Virat, Root, Smith or Williamson. Salman Butt has said that Babar Azam is nowhere near where Virat, Root, Smith or Williamson are standing. In Salman Butt's eyes, Babar Azam is only Pakistan's number one batsman.

Whatever Salman Butt may say, Babar dominated Faisalabad

However, on one hand Salman Butt has made headlines by not considering Babar Azam to be equal to Virat, Root, Smith or Williamson.

On the other hand, during the practice session in Faisalabad, Babar Azam's name was heard echoing in the entire stadium. This also shows the popularity of Babar Azam in Pakistan. Salman Butt has also described Babar as Pakistan's number one batsman in his statement.
