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.

Babar Azam was humble and showed his character with a smart reply.
there is no comparison. @imVkohli is a great batsman and I am just a beginner. But I would like to be recalled as Babar Azam of Pakistan :) https://t.co/fqiF6ZKJ2J
