Former Pakistan cricket team fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar has said that the new captain of his country's ODI team Babar Azam aims to reach the scale set by India captain Kohli and Kane Williamson. Indian cricket team captain Kohli, New Zealand captain Williamson, England captain Joe Root and Australian Steve Smith are counted among the great batsmen of the present time. Shoaib has said that "Azam has set his eyes on standing with these great players.
Quoting Akhtar Metro.com wrote "Babar Azam is a very talented player. He has made it his goal to stand with Kohli, Root, Williamson. However, Akhtar has said that Virat and Babar should not be compared."
He said that "Both Kohli and Azam are great players, but it is not right to compare the two as Pakistan plays fewer Tests and ODIs than India. The former fast bowler said that with the dedication of both of them, I am confident that these two will break many records in future, but it is not right to compare them."
