Wasim Jaffer, a former Indian cricketer, has expressed his views on the ongoing comparison between Babar Azam and Virat Kohli. While acknowledging Babar's talent, Jaffer stated that the excessive hype from the media has contributed to a decline in Babar's performance. He emphasized that comparing Babar to Kohli, who is regarded as one of the greatest players of this generation, has placed undue pressure on the Pakistani batter. Jaffer noted that Babar's captaincy has also been lacking, as he failed to effectively build a strong team and achieve consistent victories. Despite these criticisms, Jaffer still regards Babar as one of the finest batters in Pakistan's cricket history.
