Babar Azam Best Batsman Than Virat Kohli on Current Form: England Bowler Adil Rashid (Watch Video)

Virat Kohli or Babar Azam is probably the one uncalled debate in the world cricket going on currently. Both Kohli and Babar are highly rated. While Indian captain has stamped his authority in the world cricket, newly appointed Pakistan ODI captain Babar is on his way to glory. Meanwhile, England's world cup winning bowler Adil Rashid faced cliched question "who is better batsman Virat Kohli or Babar Azam?" And the English cricketer picked Pakistan batsman, but based on just current form. In Virat Kohli vs Babar Azam Debate, Former Australian Cricketer Tom Moody Has His Say.

"Ahhh... it's a tough one. Well, it's a tough one. So you got to go on the current form... I think I got to go for Babar Azam on current form.

Interestingly, the 32-year-old picked Imran Tahir as the lone spinner in the XI. Virat Kohli Is the Best Batsman Across Formats, Says Former Pakistan Cricketer Mohammad Yousuf.
