Stop Comparing Babar To Virat Kohli”: Ex-Pak Star. Former Pakistan spinner Danish Kaneria made a critical statement about Babar Azam, claiming he is a massive zero as a Test skipper.
Pakistan’s cricket squad was pummeled and wounded when hosting England in a Test series at home. Playing their own form of cricket, dubbed ‘Bazzball,’ England became the first side to whitewash a 3-0 Test series in Pakistan. The way in which Pakistan performed throughout the series drew a lot of criticism, even from their captain, Babar Azam. Former Pakistan spinner Danish Kaneria, for example, has said that Babar should not be compared to Virat Kohli.
“People should stop making comparisons between Babar Azam and Virat Kohli. Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are two major players. There is no one on Pakistan’s team who can be compared to them. They will become kings if you make them talk. When you ask them to deliver results, they will produce none “Kaneria said in a video on his YouTube channel.
Kaneria also referred to Babar as “huge zero” when it came to captaincy in the video.
He claimed that Pakistan’s captain could have learned a few things from Brendon McCullum and Ben Stokes during the series.
“As captain, Babar Azam is a massive zero. He is unfit to command the team. Unable of leading the team, particularly in Test cricket. He had a fantastic chance of understanding captaincy by studying at Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum during the series. Or he might have set aside his ego and asked Sarfaraz Ahmed how to captain “Kaneria stated.
In the video, the ex-Pakistan spinner even suggests that Babar should no longer play the longest format of the game.
