Babar Azam, the captain of the Pakistan cricket team, has faced a significant decline in form, which has been exacerbated by constant comparisons to Indian cricket star Virat Kohli. Former India batter Wasim Jaffer emphasized that while Babar is undoubtedly a talented player, the media's portrayal of him as 'King Babar' has created unrealistic expectations. Jaffer noted that this pressure has affected Babar's mental game, leading him to try to emulate Kohli's style rather than play to his own strengths. Furthermore, Babar's captaincy has come under fire due to the team's inability to convert potential into consistent success, particularly in major tournaments. Jaffer clarified that his criticism is not of Babar's talent but rather of the inflated expectations placed upon him due to the Kohli comparison. Ultimately, Jaffer believes that Babar remains one of the finest batters in Pakistan's cricket history but has been burdened by the need to live up to a legacy that he has yet to establish.
