Akhtar defends Pakistan captain in Kohli vs Babar debate with Harbhajan

An engaging debate unfolded between the former Indian spinner, Harbhajan Singh and the legendary Pakistani fast bowler, Shoaib Akhtar. The focal point of their conversation revolved around analyzing and contrasting the abilities and achievements of Virat Kohli and Babar Azam.

Harbhajan expressed his belief that Virat has already established himself as a great player, while Babar still has a lot to achieve to reach that level. However, Harbhajan acknowledged Babar's immense talent and described him as a wonderful player.

“Virat Kohli has established himself as a great, while Babar Azam still has a lot to do. He will reach there someday, as he is a wonderful player. He is very good in Test cricket, but maybe T20 doesn’t suit him a lot," Harbhajan said on his YouTube channel.

Akhtar joined Harbhajan on his YouTube channel and shared the same views on the comparison between Kohli and Babar. Akhtar defended Babar against the criticism he faced in T20 cricket and believed that he was constantly working on improving his skills in the shortest format of the game.

According to Akhtar, "Virat Kohli is the greatest, and Babar Azam is in the process of becoming the greatest batsman ever. He is striving to improve in T20s. People criticize him without valid reasons."

The cricketing world is filled with discussions and debates among fans and experts regarding the comparisons between Virat Kohli and Babar Azam, both highly regarded players. Ultimately, time will reveal the extent of Babar's achievements and whether he can attain the legendary status that Virat Kohli has achieved in his career.
