India and Pakistan are arch-rivals as well as one of the two most successful cricket teams in the world. Both the teams have given many big players to the world. In the current era, India has batsmen like Virat Kohli. Whereas Babar Azam is near Pakistan. Virat Kohli is the biggest batsman in the world right now. On the other hand, Babar's ICC ranking is very good. Meanwhile, India's superstar batsman Virat Kohli has described Babar Azam as one of the best batsmen in the world across all formats.
Virat Kohli praised Babar
Kohli expressed his admiration in an interaction with Star Sports and recalled his first meeting with Pakistan's star batsman Babar Azam. Kohli recalled in the interview that my first conversation with him (Babar) was after the game in Manchester during the 2019 ODI World. I have known Imad Wasim since the Under-19 World Cup and he said that Babar wanted to talk.
What did Kohli say
Kohli said that we sat and talked about the game. I saw a lot of respect and dignity in him from day one and that hasn't changed. Despite the fact that he is probably the top batsman in the world across formats, and rightfully so. Kohli further said that he is a consistent performer and I have always loved watching him play. Babar is currently the top ranked player in the ICC ODI batting rankings with 886 rating points. At the same time, Kohli is at the ninth position with 705 rating points.
The Pakistan batsman is also in the top five in the T20 International and Test rankings, which shows his status as an all-format superstar. He is the only player in the world to be ranked in the top five in all formats of the ICC rankings. India and Pakistan will face off in Kandy on September 2 during the group stage of the Asia Cup. Apart from this, a great match will be played between the two teams in the ICC ODI World Cup in Ahmedabad on 14 October. During this, both these players will be seen on the field together.
