Perhaps one of the most passionate discussions that continues to be a constant talking point is the one that pits Virat Kohli at one end against Babar Azam of Pakistan at the other. The scheduled match between these two giants of South Asia is only a few hours away. One is already hearing shocked statements from the horse’s mouth, former Pakistan cricketer Danish Kaneria.
Kaneria’s Candid Critique On Babar Azam
During a recent interview, Danish Kaneria went head-on and harsh on Babar Azam. For instance, as soon as Babar Azam makes a hundred, the next day, someone comes up and compares him to Virat Kohli, Kaneria erupting. “Babar Azam is not even worth Virat Kohli’s shoe. ”

The former spinner particularly focused on the recent score line, where Azam, the captain of the Pakistani team, was unable to curb and dominate the USA bowlers. But in a weak moment when USA bowlers were killing him, he couldn’t play them, and when he reached 40 or something, he got out. Kaneria added further, blaming him, saying that, inshallah, Pakistan should have had a one-sided victory.
Disappointment with Team Attitude
Kaneria did not only criticize behavior but also the overall attitude of the Pakistan cricket team. Meanwhile, after capturing a stunning seven for 75 against New Zealand in the just-concluded three-match series.

Tim Southee verbally unloaded on Pakistan with blunt force: “The Pakistan cricket team is a joke. They are not serious about the T20 World Cup. They are just holidaying in the US with family. Babar Azam stands nowhere near Virat Kohli. ”
With the passion and controversy that are inherent in any India-Pakistan cricket event already setting the stage for a clash of the titans, Kaneria brings another dimension to the ongoing controversy. There will be a lot of attention paid to the gameplay of both captains, which is highly possible due to their strong opinions.
Most people expect Babar Azam to change his mind after coming into the team and winning all the matches. Virat Kohli will try to prove to the world that he is among the best cricketers of his generation.
As far as the match preview is concerned, the encounter could be intriguing, with a more individual battle between Kohli and Azam. With great expectations from the cricketing world, the result of this particular encounter is sure to provide more food for thought and debate between these two wizards of the cricketing arena of the contemporary era.
