India and Pakistan, two neighboring countries, share a unique bond not just because of their geographical proximity but also because of their long-standing rivalry on the cricket field. The debate over who is the better batsman between former Indian captain Virat Kohli and current Pakistan captain Babar Azam has been a hot topic among cricket fans. Adding his opinion to the mix, former Pakistani cricketer Danish Kaneria recently weighed in on the matter ahead of the highly anticipated T20 World Cup match between the two teams.
"Inevitably, whenever Babar Azam scores a century, comparisons with Virat Kohli start surfacing. But in my opinion, Virat Kohli is way ahead of Babar Azam," Kaneria shared with IANS, expressing his belief in Kohli's superior skills. He also pointed out that Azam struggled against the USA bowlers in their recent match, where he was dismissed after scoring 40 runs. Kaneria believes that Azam should have stayed on and secured a win for his team, but unfortunately, Pakistan ended up losing in a nail-biting super over.
Pakistan's performance in their tournament opener against USA was a major disappointment, with their experienced bowler Mohammad Amir being hit for 18 runs in the super over, including 7 extras. Kaneria did not hold back in his criticism of the Pakistani team, stating that they are not capable of defeating India. He also pointed out that Pakistan often rely too heavily on their bowling and fail to give equal importance to their batting, which ultimately cost them the game against USA.
Sharing his prediction for the upcoming India-Pakistan match, Kaneria confidently stated that India will come out on top. He believes that Pakistan's weaknesses will be exposed by the Indian team, resulting in a one-sided victory for India. Kaneria's comments have added even more excitement to the already highly anticipated match between these two rival teams.
