Matthew Hayden, a legendary Australian cricketer, has given his opinion on the never-ending ‘Babar vs Kohli’ controversy.
Babar Azam is the focus as Pakistan looks to advance to the Asia Cup 2023 final on Thursday. At the R.Premadasa Stadium, the two-time champions will face 2022 winners Sri Lanka in the Asia Cup 2023’s virtual semifinal. The victor of the Super 4 match between Sri Lanka and Pakistan will play Team India, who is led by Virat Kohli, in the championship game of the continental competition.
Babar, the captain of Pakistan, failed to continue his prolific scoring streak in the later stages of the prestigious competition after he brilliantly opened the Asia Cup with a century. Run-machine Kohli hammered a brilliant century to help India defeat the Green Army in the rain-marred match, while Babar had a forgettable performance against India in the blockbuster Super 4 match between the traditional foes.
The cricket community has remained divided on the “Kohli versus Babar” controversy as the Pakistan captain advances in international cricket. Legendary Australian cricketer Matthew Hayden weighed in on the best batter discussion, saying that Babar has an advantage over Kohli when it comes to playing the One Day International (ODI) format.
