Pakistan Cricket Expert Slams Babar Azam-Sachin Tendulkar Comparisons
Pakistan Cricket Expert Slams Comparisons Between Babar Azam and Sachin Tendulkar
Pakistan YouTuber and cricket expert Wasay Habib has vehemently denounced comparisons between Babar Azam and legendary Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar. During an analysis on GTV News, Habib expressed his disbelief at the notion of comparing the two players.
"First [comparison of Babar Azam with] Virat Kohli, then Shubman Gill, and now you have jumped to Sachin Tendulkar! Have you seen Sachin play? Khuda ka khauf kare (Have the fear of God please). Please don't ask me such a question; I am a passionate cricket fan. Who are these people asking such questions? How is Babar and Tendulkar comparisons even possible?" Habib exclaimed in a viral clip.
Habib's outburst stems from the recent trend of comparing Azam, Pakistan's current captain, to some of the greatest cricketers of all time. Earlier, legendary Pakistan fast bowler Wasim Akram had mentioned Brian Lara and Tendulkar while discussing Azam's batting prowess.
"Babar is a very good player. He is among the three best batters in the world right now and he plays proper cricketing shots. Had he been a pinch hitter, then the bowler would know that he has a chance to get him out," Akram said.
However, Habib believes that such comparisons are premature and disrespectful to Tendulkar's legacy. "Sachin Tendulkar is a legend. He has achieved so much in his career. Babar Azam is still a young player. He has a long way to go before he can be compared to someone like Tendulkar," Habib argued.
Habib's comments have sparked a debate among cricket fans, with some agreeing with his stance and others believing that Azam has the potential to reach the same heights as Tendulkar. Regardless of the differing opinions, it is clear that Azam has established himself as one of the most talented batsmen in the world and has the potential to become a legend in his own right.
