Pakistan cricketer Nawaz, who often shares cricket updates on his Twitter account, recently compared former legendary South African cricketer AB de Villiers and Modern day great Virat Kohli with young Pakistani all-rounder Salman Ali Agha.

He mentioned the ODI averages and strike rates of all three cricketers and Agha's average was more than the other two batters, which was 61.33. He also has a better strike rate than both Kohli and de Villiers, which is 109.52.

However, Nawaz got brutally trolled by the fans as Agha has played only 6 ODI matches in his career so far. On the other hand, de Villiers appeared in more than 200 ODI matches, while Kohli played more than 250 ODI matches.

Fans said that a youngster with only 6 ODI matches shouldn't be compared with legendary players like Kohli and de Villers. Interestingly, despite playing more than 200 matches in their careers, Kohli and de Villiers still have an average of more than 50, which is enough to tell that both players are incomparable.

Babar Azam’s fitness is not like that of Virat Kohli: Abdur Razzaq

Meanwhile, recently, former Pakistan cricketer Abdur Razzaq said that Kohli's fitness makes him better than Babar. He said that Babar has better technique but he needs to work on his fitness if he wants to achieve things like Kohli in the international platform.

“The main thing is that his fitness is world-class. Babar Azam’s fitness is not like that of Virat Kohli. Babar needs to work more on his fitness, “Virat is an outstanding and fantastic player. The best part is that he takes his team along. His intent is always positive. He utilises his skills very well.” Razzaq told the Times of India.

“We don’t need to compare them. It’s like asking, who is better – Kapil Dev or Imran Khan? These comparisons are not good. “Kohli is a good player in India. Similarly, Babar Azam is a good player in Pakistan. “Kohli is a world-class player, Babar is too. But Kohli’s fitness is way better than Babar’s,” he added
