Pakistan cricketer Babar Azam, who is one of the finest batsmen in the team has decided to play down being compared to India's star batsman and captain Virat Kohli.
Babar Azam was recently questioned by a cricket fan on social networking site Twitter about his views on being labeled as the 'Virat Kohli of Pakistan'. Babar Azam did not feel the comparison was fair, since Virat Kohli is a much more experienced and one of the finest batsmen, while he (Azam) has much more to prove.

A Twitter user by the handle of Soomrowaqar99 quizzed the Pakistani cricketer during the #AskBabarAzam activity.
Babar Azam was humble and showed his character with a smart reply.
Babar Azam is the joint-fastest cricketer to reach 1,000 runs in ODIs in 21 innings. He shares the feat along with Sir Vivian Richards, Kevin Pietersen, Jonathan Trott and Quinton de Kock.
