“Should be dropped from the team”: Pakistan great blasts Babar Azam

The Pakistan great in question here is Zaheer Abbas who believes that comparisons between Babar and Kohli are pointless as the former doesn't score in any match

Former Pakistan batter Zaheer Abbas showered praise on both Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma after the Indian team cruised to a 7-wicket victory over Bangladesh in Kanpur.

On the other hand, Abbas also rubbished all the comparisons between Kohli and Babar Azam and said that the latter shouldn’t only be dropped from the captaincy, but from the team altogether.

“The comparisons are pointless, Virat Kohli scores in every match, the other player (Babar) doesn’t score in any match, so then how can you compare? The person who scores, he is the bigger player. Babar Azam should be dropped from the team. If he’s not scoring runs, because if he’s our main batsman and he’s out of form, he should be out of the team,” Abbas said at an event.

The Pakistan great also gave credit to Indian skipper Rohit Sharma for building a strong and organized unit.

“The Indian team overall is very good. Their batters are doing well, and the bowlers are strong too. It is a very balanced team, one that plays soch samajh kar (thoughtfully). They have a very good captain who understands cricket very well. When everything is going in your favour, it is smooth sailing, and that’s the case with India right now,” Abbas added.
