Babar Azam can surpass Virat Kohli’: Imran Khan’s prediction ahead of 2023 World Cup

Discussions among fans revolving modern-era cricket has evolved from picking the best batter among the Fab Four to choosing the better player between Virat Kohli and Babar Azam. The continued rise of Babar over the last couple of years, both as a captain and more as a player across formats has given world cricket that Kohli vibes purely on his consistency and ability to break and rewrite records. While world cricket remains divided on the debate, former Pakistan skipper Imran Khan made an audacious remark on Babar ahead of the 2023 ODI World Cup.

Speaking to a local journalist, Pakistan legend admitted that though he has been away from the sports for while now, he believes Kohli and Babar belong to the same class of batters and based on what he has seen of the incumbent Pakistan captain, he strongly feels that the youngster can take down the 33-year-old’s batting records.
