5 Pakistan batsmen who got compared to Virat Kohli when they were in their prime

Babar Azam

If an individual starts following his idol with his whole-hearted efforts then success will knock on his doors. The prime example is the cricketing journey of Babar Azam who is piling on runs against every bowling attack. Currently, the youngster is the best bet of Pakistan cricket to lead their inexperienced batting line-up. Till now he has shown a lot of promise.

What makes him an exciting talent is his consistency. That’s why he has been compared with his cricketing hero, Virat Kohli by various tabloids. Like the Indian skipper, Azam also likes to remain in the thick of things. He has already developed himself into a run-machine in the white-ball formats. Very early in his career, he has been tagged as the future captaincy material for the team.

If Babar continues in a similar fashion then he will be standing toe to toe with Kohli in the next couple of years. Though his captaincy skills are yet to be tested his composure might help him become a good leader. The country will be hoping that he doesn’t follow the footsteps of some past cricketers who derailed their careers with their egoistic behavior. It is now up to him to shape his professional life without any other disturbances.
